The dance floor runs itself.
Kuthu plays the good forty-five seconds of every song — the drop, the chorus, the bit people actually get up for — and your guests ask for the next one by scanning a QR code on the TV. No DJ. No laptop babysitter. No app for anyone to install.
Runs on your own WiFi. Nothing about your party leaves your house.
Somebody always ends up on aux duty.
You know how it goes. One person spends the whole night hunched over a laptop, queueing songs and skipping the four-minute intro nobody wants. Everyone else shouts requests over the music. The floor empties during every slow bit.
It skips to the part that matters
Every film song has two or three minutes you sit through and forty-five seconds everyone knows. Kuthu finds the vocal entry, starts a few seconds before it so the floor arrives into the hook, and moves on when it is done.
Your guests are the DJ
A QR code sits on the screen. Anyone on your WiFi scans it, sees what is playing, searches your collection, requests a song and votes on what other people asked for. Their name comes up on the TV when their pick lands.
Three languages, woven properly
Set the mix — 50% Tamil, 30% Hindi, 20% English, or whatever your room is — and Kuthu builds the running order so you never get three of the same language in a row, or two songs from the same label back to back.
Three steps, then leave it alone.
Setup takes about ten minutes the first time and about thirty seconds every party after that.
-
Build a collection
Paste in YouTube links you love, import a playlist, or let Kuthu go looking for popular dance numbers by language. Every song is played once before it counts, so a dead link never reaches the floor.
-
Drag it to the TV
Open the player window, drag it onto your TV or projector, press Start, then F for fullscreen. The QR code for guests appears on the screen.
-
Go and dance
Songs run back to back with no gap. Requests come in from phones and slot into the queue. If something is not landing, one key skips it — and Kuthu remembers never to play it again.
Where it runs.
Kuthu wants to be on the machine nearest the TV. Today that is a Windows laptop. Next it is your Mac — and after that, the streaming stick already plugged into the television, so no computer is involved at all.

It gets better every party.
The first night, Kuthu guesses where the good part starts — and it is right most of the time. When it is not, you fix it from the dance floor.
One key pins a song forever
Nudge the start point with the arrow keys until the section is right,
press S, and that song opens at exactly that moment at every
future party. After two or three nights your collection is hand-tuned and
you stop touching it.
Or let it find the vocals itself
The tuner listens to a song and proposes where the singing starts, with a confidence figure attached. Accept it or mark the point yourself with a keypress. Either way it is saved once and used forever.
Every song, not just the easy ones
Film labels block a great many of their videos from playing inside other people's players. Kuthu sidesteps the whole problem by playing every song on YouTube's own page, in a window the app owns and takes away on cue.
It works around the ads, honestly
An ad used to mean a song cut off before its chorus. Kuthu holds the segment clock still while one runs, so you still get the section you asked for. It does not skip or block anything — here is why.
About the ads.
Kuthu plays videos from YouTube exactly as YouTube serves them, ads included. That is on purpose, and it is worth explaining rather than burying.
The ad is how the music got there
A film song on YouTube is paid for by the ads against it — the composer, the label, the singers and the studio are all on the other end of that. A party that plays fifty songs is fifty songs' worth of royalties flowing to the people who made them. Kuthu does not strip that out, block it, or hide it, and it never will. An app that did would be taking money out of the pockets of the exact artists it exists to celebrate.
What Kuthu does instead
It does the one honest thing available from outside the video: it notices that an ad is running and holds the segment clock still until it finishes. Without that, a two-minute chorus would lose thirty seconds to an ad that ate them. Nothing is skipped and nothing is suppressed — the ad plays in full, and then your song gets its full section.

Your party is nobody's data.
There is no Kuthu account, no cloud, and no server of ours in the middle. The app runs on your laptop and talks to the phones on your own WiFi. Guests never sign in — they scan a code and type a name.
Not ready yet. Nearly.
