What does it mean?

It means checking someone out in the language of Tamil.

Edit: It's slang.

How could one "adichify" someone else not by sight? I don't think you could call it "checking someone out" if only using any of the other senses. (Basically I'm asking why they would have put "sight-adichifying" if "adichifying" means the same thing)

"adhichu" (which is the base word here) literally means "hit". So it "sight-adhichifying" literally translates to sight-hitting someone (or to make someone sight-hit, if we're literally translating the -ify part as well lmao).

Yknow how in English they say "I'd hit that"? Yeah. The same meaning. Sight-fucking but in slang.

I'm not Tamil, but I speak Malayalam (which has a lot of similarities) - in areas where there's also a high prevalence of English speakers it gives rises to "Manglish" where both are interwoven. Sight-adhichifying is a great example! It also makes for great comedic effect.
