In 2001, Harvest was adapted for film (with dialogue in English and Hindi) by Mumbai director Govind Nihalani and released under the title, Deham, meaning ‘body’. The film has screened at international festivals in London, Cannes, Göteborg, New York, and Venice as well as across major venues in India. This cinematic venture seems likely to fix the narrative’s real-world referents firmly in India, at least for the moment, though of course it does not preclude an allegorical reading of the text.
