Overall song meaning
'Enna Pidicha Kaathal Pei' from the movie 'Thottal Poo Malarum' (2007) is a high-energy romantic duet expressing the feverish passion and whimsical insanity of falling deeply in love. The male protagonist playfully claims that love has possessed him like a charming ghost, causing a feverish delirium ('Brammha') that he refuses to cure. The female protagonist responds in kind, declaring that her entire life has been legally willed to him.
