Tovino Thomas’ upcoming film Narivetta, which centers on a village’s fight for their land and community, is set to hit screens on April 23. Ahead of the release, rapper Vedan and composer Jakes Bejoy have dropped a promo song titled “Vaada Veda”. The hip-hop track’s visuals and lyrics offer a glimpse into the film’s powerful themes and narrative.
Vedan refers to the “mother bird crying” as her home is being snatched away from her and compares the firing of machine guns to chants. He then proceeds to list out the injustice nature is facing and how mountains and trees are crumbling and questions whether humans have a heart, similar to trees and creatures in the forest. The song also features small snippets from the film, which further help the listener in understanding the narrative. Through the clip of two police officers, in which they are battling between their sense of morality and duty, we witness that not everything is black and white and that the war between the authorities and the village is not linear in nature.
That multi-layered conflict will be explored by director Anuraj Manohar through his protagonist, played by Tovino Thomas. As seen in the trailer, the junior police officer is torn between what he believes is right and what his duty entails. The narrative that was put forth in the trailer seems to be clearer now, and the song gives this story of revolution even more weight.
The cast of the film also includes Suraj Venjaramoodu, Cheran, Arya Salim, and Priyamvada Krishnan.
