Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], April 2: In a remarkable display of solidarity and empowerment, more than 300 surrogates are going to grace the special screening of the highly anticipated film, “Dukaan,” in Gujarat tomorrow. This gathering marks a significant moment as these real-life heroes come together to witness a story that resonates deeply with their experiences.
“Dukaan,” is meticulously crafted by director duo, Siddharth-Garima, who drew inspiration from true incidents unearthed through extensive research. Venturing into the heart of Gujarat, the epicenter of commercial surrogacy, Siddharth-Garima immersed themselves in the lives of surrogates, gathering tales that would form the backbone of their film.
Set in Gujarat, ‘Dukaan’ unfolds the poignant tale of Jasmine (portrayed by Monika Panwar), a young woman embarking on a courageous journey as a surrogate mother. Through Jasmine’s narrative lens, the film delves into crucial themes of dignity, freedom of choice, and the autonomy of women engaged in commercial surrogacy—a subject rarely explored in Hindi cinema.
