Overall song meaning
This energetic folk-pop song 'Aisaa Aisaa' (Onnappola Aambalaiya) from the movie Vel (2007) captures a lively and playful romantic exchange between the lead couple. The female lead expresses her infatuation, claiming she has never met a man as captivating as him and describing how her feelings give her a feverish passion. The male lead responds in kind, complimenting her unique charm and beauty while teasingly expressing how her gaze leaves him completely overwhelmed.
