It highlights Chitti's intriguing biological paradoxes—having a mouth without a stomach, speech without breath, and power without pride. The lyrics combine references to iconic scientific thinkers like Asimov, Newton, and Einstein with affectionate Tamil expressions, portraying Chitti as a friendly, obedient, and adored figure who brings joy to everyone around him.
