Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has decided to exempt the Hindi film ‘Godaan’ from taxes in the state. The film, released nationwide on February 6, focuses on Indian culture, rural life, farmer traditions, and the significance of cow protection. Chief Minister Dhami believes that promoting such cinema is crucial for upholding India’s cultural values and encouraging positive societal perspectives.
Directed by Ameet Prajapati, ‘Godaan’ runs for 2 hours and 10 minutes and features actors like Sahil Anand, Upasana Singh, Rajesh Jais, and Manoj Joshi. The movie offers a compassionate portrayal of rural life while addressing contemporary social issues. ‘Godaan’ has been described as a narrative that reflects compassion, culture, and social realities, prompting viewers to contemplate India’s heritage and the preservation of its traditions.
Chief Minister Dhami emphasized that the tax exemption aligns with Uttarakhand’s strong stance against cow slaughter and smuggling. The state government has been actively promoting initiatives to protect cows and support livestock owners and dairy farmers. By encouraging socially relevant films like ‘Godaan,’ the government aims to foster positive thinking and social awareness among the public.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has also announced the tax exemption for ‘Godaan’ in his state, Uttar Pradesh, on the same day, further extending support for the film’s message of cultural values and cow protection.
