Excitement peaked in Mumbai as the poster for ‘Godaan,’ the screen version of Premchand’s iconic novel, made its debut. Revered saint Riteshwar Maharaj imparted special guidance on cow veneration, making headlines instantly.
Crafted with meticulous detail, the poster evokes 1930s Uttar Pradesh, with a cow’s serene gaze dominating the frame. Star Nawazuddin Siddiqui, essaying Hori, called it ‘a personal milestone.’ The film’s narrative weaves poverty, dignity, and unwavering faith.
During his address, Riteshwar Maharaj outlined rituals: ‘Bathe the cow daily, offer green fodder, and recite Gayatri Mantra.’ He stressed gaupalan’s role in environmental balance and swadeshi economy, critiquing industrial dairy practices.
With state-of-the-art VFX for period authenticity, ‘Godaan’ boasts a pan-India cast. Release planned post-monsoon 2025, it’s generating pre-buzz through social media teasers.
This project underscores Bollywood’s shift towards value-driven content. Riteshwar Maharaj’s wisdom infuses it with purpose, urging viewers to reconnect with roots. ‘Godaan’ isn’t merely a film; it’s a cultural awakening.
