Our Director

The Gujarati Film Industry is now transforming towards new subjects, perspectives, and directions to break out from the old traditional subject practice, and this transformation is being seen as more groomed and presentable. The film industry reflects not only entertainment but has also started reflecting social life by bringing the absurd to the screen to understand the social trends of the time. The consistency with modern society and changing trends of Gujarati Films is commendable. It is a long way for the Gujarati Film Industry to compare efforts being made in the film world on a national and international level, but at least we can try to come forward and put collaborative efforts to create the necessary platform for this.
Crocodile City Creations aspires to present issues of current society creatively, such as the struggle of the elderly, noise pollution, waste of time, attitude towards life, and the culmination of karma. The storyline shines as an outstanding and unparalleled example of valor and passion. To pave the way for this new age, there is a need to identify and inspire the local talents of Gujarat to come up with new content, concepts, perspectives, presentations, and uses of modern technologies for this evolving film industry. It is the duty of all individuals, organizations, and institutions who are committed to society and social upliftment to promote and encourage these talents. Maybe, due to some financial problems, some talented people fail to showcase their talents. Another fact is that investors only consider profit when they provide anything in the name of entertainment, making it challenging to support local talents. But someone must come forward; the question is, who will take responsibility? As the financial burden is not minimal. And this can be solved by forming a group or association on a cooperative basis and sharing the financial risk; it would be a great contribution to our society and our local film industry. And for this, who will take the initiative? Who will come forward? - is a Million-Dollar question. It is essential to think over it.

EQUALITY

The Cost of Satisfaction

Genre:Social-Legal Drama
Theme: Exploring gender bias in the application of law in consensual relationships between minors.

Concept Summary

A young man and woman, both 17, engage in a consensual relationship. But when the girl’s parents find out,the boy is arrested under POCSO. The girl tries to defend him, but the law is one-sided. The case raises questions about accountability, consent, and the meaning of equality under law and society.

Logline

When two minors engage in a consensual relationship, only the boy is punished under the law. A powerful exploration of gender equality, justice, and imbalance in accountability.

Why This Film?

Because equality cannot remain symbolic. This story questions selective punishment in the name of protection and gives a voice to those wrongfully labelled — reminding society of shared responsibility.

Core Themes

Legal gender asymmetry
Equality in pleasure, inequality in punishment
Society's selective outrage
Age of consent vs. emotional maturity
Reform vs. protection in law

Legal Note

This film doesn’t promote underage sexual activity or challenge protection laws, but questions their gender bias and misapplication in consensual cases between minors.
