The protagonist boisterously addresses female students from prominent Chennai colleges (Loyola, Nirmala, Chellammal, Wellington) while comparing his charm and skills to famous pop culture figures and actresses of the 90s like Nagma, Mamta Kulkarni, and Madhuri Dixit. Written in Vaali's signature energetic rhythm, the hero boasts about his musical prowess, physical strength, and irresistible charm, framing himself as an energetic college hero who can win over anyone with his wit and swagger.
