Excitement builds in Lucknow as ‘Godaan’—a cinematic ode to cow reverence—nears its February 6 debut. Producer-director Vinod Chaudhary, accompanied by his team, met UP CM Yogi Adityanath, unveiling a striking poster and sharing insights into the film’s mission on gauraksha.
At its core, ‘Godaan’ honors the cow’s exalted status in Hindu tradition, akin to maternal and divine figures, reinforced by Krishna’s Gita discourses on protection and piety. CM Yogi, a vocal advocate, has transformed the state by shuttering rogue slaughter operations since assuming power.
This high-profile rendezvous signals strong alignment between art and policy, with the full team present for the engaging session.
Since poster reveal, ‘Godaan’ dominates conversations. The premiere glittered with film luminaries and saints, amplifying its reach. A groundbreaking element: Gau Mata aarti reimagined as song by Ananya Singh. She revealed, ‘I’m fortunate to sing the nation’s first aarti-like melody for the sacred cow, plus a Radha-Krishna bhajan. Rooted in eternal dharma, this film beckons young hearts to its Hindu narrative and cow safeguard call.’
Backed by Vinod Kumar Chaudhary, Dr. Parul Chaudhary as producers, Chetan Goswami co-producing, and Amit Prajapati directing, the plot captivates via a hero-calf romance. Lead Sahil Anand brings cred from ‘Student of the Year Parts 1 & 2’ and ‘Babloo Happy Hai’. ‘Godaan’ stands ready to inspire and unite.
