V. M. Ezhumalai was an Indian actor and comedian who featured in Tamil language films. He was active in the field from 1937 till 1962. He had a style of his own, making viewers laugh by his body language and voice. Ezhumalai emphasized his unique style in a comedy duet Kooja kooja kooja for which he lip-synched with another comedian, A. Karunanidhi, in the 1954 movie Mangalyam. From this song, the word 'kooja' became a derisive euphemism for servile, spineless bucket carriers to power holders.
