~The film aims to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of Indian farmers towards nation-building

MUMBAI, India, Dec. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Not all superheroes wear capes and this is especially true in the case of the hardworking Indian farmer who toils day and night. To acknowledge and celebrate the importance of Indian farmers in feeding the country and nation-building, the Godrej Group, India's leading conglomerate releases a brand-new film titled #BharatKaKisan on National Farmer's Day, also popularly known as Kisan Diwas.

Conceptualized and executed by The Godrej Group's Brand and Communication's team along with Creativeland Asia, the film is based on the central theme of how a farmer's relentless hard work and dedication brings food onto our plates, every day, through every season, every year. The film illustrates the need to recognize the importance of farmers in daily lives at an early age, as often this role goes unnoticed and is only valued later in lives.

In a fitting tribute to the Indian farmer, in the newly released brand film, Mr. Balram Singh Yadav, Managing Director, Godrej Agrovet Limited is seen narrating an insightful poem dedicated to the farmers, to his granddaughter Riya, both as a tribute and a salute to them. The film is an acknowledgement of the invaluable contribution of farmers and their lives, making them no less than any superhero.

Script for the Film-

Yeh Bharat ka kisan hai
Kitaabon mein… yeh kehlata mahaan hai

Dharti maa ko seenchta
Yeh ussi ka hi ek santaan hai

Yeh… Bharat ka kisan hai

Ek sashakt rashtra ka khwab hai
Poore desh ka abhimaan hai

Annapoorna ko ye poojta
Humari sabhyata ka pramaan hai

Yeh… Bharat ka kisan hai 

Raat roti jo tum kha sako
Uss din bhar ki thakaan hai

Kachhi sadko ki raah naapta 
Na karta ye vishraam hai

Yeh Bharat ka kisan hai

Maheeno jis khet ko jot-te 
Uss maati ki pehchaan hai

Nakshe pe na dhund pao 
Uss gaon ka kachha makaan hai

Yeh Bharat ka kisan hai

10 minute mein khana paa sako
Uss raftaar ki chhut-tee kamaan hai

Apne parivar ka pet bhar sake
Bas maangta yahi daam hai

Yeh Bharat ka kisan hai

Yeh hai toh sab kuch hai
Humare wajood ka aadhaar hai

Iss shram ko naman na kar sake
Toh vyarth iska balidaan hai

Aaj yaad kar ke, kal bhulo mat 
Yeh bhi ek maa ke samaan hai

Yeh Bharat ka kisan hai

Happy Farmer's Day!
