Andru Kanda Mugam’s Vaada Machchan Vaada Lyrics Translation
The exchange escalates into a debate on character and consequence. One singer asks if a big mustache alone makes someone brave. The lyrics later warn that even a thief who escapes punishment cannot avoid the reach of cosmic justice, or dharma.
