Watch out for the song Vandiyile: This is a reinterpretation of a harvest song sung by farmers in South
India. This is based on a tradition wherein farmers present their first set of crops to the zamindars/
landloards. So while it is a song of celebration sung at the end of a grueling harvest season rejoicing the
bumper harvest, it has an underlay of sarcasm talking about how ‘we grow the crops and the benefit
goes to someone else’! The highlight of the Episode is ‘Kir Leh Rawh’: It is a song that literally says ‘heal
the world’. The song implies that humankind has made everything much more complicated today, what
with the advent of technology. The Earth is no longer pristine & peaceful as God intended it to be.
