“Male :Kettukka nee alert-ah / Chorus :Alert-ah alert-ah”
Rhyming patterns across line endings like 'Mangaatha', 'Majadhan', 'Tharatta', 'Alert-ah', 'Varatta', 'Correct-ah' create a rhythmic, repetitive bounce suited for party tracks.
Hyperbole
“Leonardo da vinci sculpture dhan / Nikkaamalae aadudhu / No 8-u wonder aayachu”
Exaggerating a dance step or sculpture as the 8th wonder of the world and alive like a Picasso painting.

Referencing famous artists (Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci), games (Jumanji), and iconic cinema motifs (Mangaatha) to elevate the contemporary fun vibe.
