Explanation

This is a popular Tamil song line and cultural reference. 'Thottal poo malarum' means 'if touched, flowers bloom' suggesting something very precious or sensitive. The answer 'Varum..aana varaadhu..' ('It will come..but it won't come..') plays on the Tamil cultural trope of 'kari thalai' (stubborn person) - someone who agrees to do something but never actually does it. The phrase has become a common idiom in Tamil Nadu.
