Dukkudu Lyrics Translation Kaushik Krish | Odavum Mudiyadhu Oliyavum Mudiyadhu
Mirchi Vijay contrasts educational promises with reality: students face fines for speaking Tamil while teachers lack English proficiency. Another verse questions empty career paths where jobs mismatch qualifications or passion.
