This Gandhi sang about freedom

Gilehriyaan, which means squirrels, was a song from Dangal

It was a word in a line that went, “Kyun phudak phudak ke dhadkanon ki chal rahi gilehriyaan” (which means, “Why are the squirrels of the heartbeats hopping?”)

The track, which was penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and composed by Pritam, was three 

minutes and 40 seconds long.

A metaphor for freedom from tyranny, it was appropriate, albeit coincidental, that it was rendered by Jonita, who, incidentally, shares her last name with the Father of the Nation (Gandhi).

It was pleasing to the ears of the listeners.
