Haalake Marunne
Pushpavathy | Vishnu Vijay • From “Sulaikha Manzil”
The song continues with a series of vivid comparisons. He addresses her as the one who opens the door to sweet dreams and a “fragrant being who causes delirium.” The groom then claims to have absorbed both masculine and feminine qualities to become her perfect match.
