Beyond the translation

Song interpretation

'Style' (also known as 'Style Style Thaan') is a high-energy, futuristic pop track from the blockbuster film Sivaji (2007). The song plays during a key transition phase in the film where the protagonist undergoes a dramatic aesthetic transformation to win over the heroine. The lyrics playfully contrast his original, dark-complexioned South Indian heritage ('Appatha vecha karuppu') with his transformed fair-skinned avatar ('Sekka sevappu'), asserting that regardless of outer appearance, he remains a 'Pachai Thamizhan' (pure Tamilian) at core.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Ethugai (Second-letter rhyming)

Kulanthaikkum un style / Ilasukkum un style / Perusukkum un style

The second consonant sound ('la' / 'lu') aligns across consecutive lines, creating a rhythmic cadence in Tamil poetry.

Metaphor

Oru koodai sunlight / Oru koodai moonlight / Ondraaga sertha / Colour thaanae en white

The lyrics metaphorically describe his fair skin as a mixture of a basket of sunlight and moonlight.

Iyaipu (End rhyme)

Ada ada ada asathuthu style / Nada nada nada nadappathum style / Kada kada kada sirippathum style

The repeating end word 'style' across lines establishes an Iyaipu rhyme scheme characteristic of upbeat music tracks.

Hyperbole

Eiffel tower ithayathil nattaai

An exaggerated poetic statement claiming that the lover has planted the Eiffel Tower inside the heart.

Trivia

Composed by A.R. Rahman and sung by Suresh Peters, Blaaze, Tanvi Shah, and Rags, 'Style' became an anthem celebrating Rajinikanth's iconic screen presence. The song was renowned for its lavish visuals, computer-generated visual effects, and Rajinikanth's dynamic fashion transformation, which involved complex skin-lightening CGI to temporarily change his complexion for the storyline.
