Meet Surabhi
The heart and soul of Godaan - A symbol of hope, prosperity, and the sacred bond between humanity and nature
Cultural Significance
In Hindu mythology, Surabhi is known as Kamadhenu - the divine cow of plenty. She symbolizes prosperity, nourishment, and the selfless giving nature. In our film, Surabhi represents the ultimate sacrifice and the profound bond between Hindus and their faith.
Godaan explores the challenges posed by westernised life, belief, and belonging. Set in today's urban environment, it draws from India's indigenous cultural heritage, blending science with tradition and emotion.
The film tells a personal story that raises important questions.
What happens when kindness challenges societal rules?
How do faith, responsibility, and empathy find their place in today's world?
Our goal is to create a film that encourages reflection rather than quick explanations. Godaan seeks to spark conversations, evoke feelings, and leave viewers thinking even after the movie ends.
Director's Vision
A Gentle Reflection on Innocence, Culture, and Care
Produced by Kamdhenu Studios, Godaan is a thoughtful film that explores India's cultural connection to cows while addressing universal emotions.
The story centres on a young calf who is innocent and curious, wanting to explore and be cared for, much like the pets we keep at home. However, her life is influenced by beliefs, traditions, and human decisions that impact how she is treated.
Godaan showcases the cow's cultural importance through everyday experiences, encouraging viewers to see protection as a simple act of care, akin to how we treat other companion animals.
The film highlights the complex relationship between respect, responsibility, and emotion in modern life. It invites the audience to find moments of tenderness and compassion amid chaos.
Ultimately, it offers a space for empathy and reflection, approached with sensitivity and honesty. Our goal is to create a film that encourages reflection rather than quick explanations.
Cinema is about feeling, not just spectacle. Godaan comes from the idea that kindness can change things. In a fast-paced world, this film takes a moment to pause and reflect. With respect for culture and the audience, Godaan aims to bring empathy back to cinema.
