The cow has more empathy than a normal human being

मैं कहीं सुना था कि गाय जब हमारा हाथ चाटती है, तब हमारे हाथों की लकीरें बदल जाती है, आज देख भी लिया

Animal's and especially a cow can really understand feelings because they connect with us with our vibrations. Tabhi apne Hindu dharm mein gaay ko Maa kaha gaya hai. This film, the concept , the story , acting everything feels so real. I am a man and i still could feel Manju's pain. Fantastic direction and performances 👏👏👏👏👏👏

My cow name was also laxmi and I used to talk to her lot I used to ask her a lot's of questions and i also used to share my problem too and the emotional thing is when we were sharing each other's problem ahe used to cry.

A Mother's pain, a mother only knows and cow (gaay) is the Mother , of not only the mankind but also the GOD himself.

ही कथा खरंच हृदयाला स्पर्श करून गेली. गायीने चाटण्याने अनेक दोष निवारण होतात. ही अंधश्रद्धा समजू नये. आमच्या गावी असे करतात अजूनही. गाईच्या पोटाखालून घालणे किंवा गायीचे चाटणे. आपल्या मान्यावर आहे. गैरसमज करून घेऊ नये.

I'm not express my feelings 🍁being a mother i know the emotions about to another mother 😢
That's the reason we call
की एका गाई मध्ये 33 कोटी देवा असतात.

Such a marvelous story and acting. These type of short movies are good to watch than bollywood movies sitting for 3 hours. Short films are meaningfull. I loved it. So naturally acted.

This is an extremely moving film. Besides the principle characters, the one that really touched my heart was: Lakshmi. Besides the high reverence in which we hold a cow, equating her to a Mother and Goddess personified, even through her silence, Lakshmi's empathy and compassion for Manju was clear. She seemed to understand Manju's pain. And, she ultimately gave Manju the greatest gift - a blessing.
The film didn't have to end like this - both Lakshmi and Manju could have shared experiences of their concurrent pregnancies, but this ending made it more profound. I could not hold back my tears!
