“Kashtam Vandhaa (Reprise)” by Vrusha Balu is from the album “Paranthu Po.” The track features lyrics by Madhan Karky and composition by Santhosh Dhayanithi. It opens with the direct instruction to punch back when hardship arrives. This sets up the song’s confrontational approach to adversity.
The verses offer specific survival tactics. One line instructs the listener to run away from anyone offering hollow philosophy. Another suggests postponing problems until tomorrow and simply putting down mental burdens when they become too heavy.
Kashtam Munna Vandha VandhaWhen hardship comes right at you
Dishkum Indha IndhaPunch it back, just like this
Ye Vattam Lightah Vandha VandhaWhen a small chance comes along
Attam Weightah IndhaMake your dance hit hard, like this
Sogam Pongi Vandha VandhaWhen sorrow starts to overflow
Soda Indha IndhaHere’s a soda, just like this
Ye Vattam Sogam Kashtam MoonumHey, if chance, sorrow, and hardship

Koochal PodudhaIs still making a scene
Hey Patta Kelu Indha IndhaHey, just listen to a song, like this
