Godhuli (English: The Hour of the Gods) is a 1977 Hindi drama film co-directed by Girish Karnad and B. V. Karanth, starring Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah.[2]
Based on a Hindi short story by Munshi Premchand about a cow slaughter in a village turning into curse,[3] Godhuli is an allegory for nation-building and the clash of modernity with tradition in rural India. It portrays the story of a modern agriculturist who returns from US after studying agriculture and brings his American wife to the village.[4] [5] The film was made in Hindi and Kannada versions: Tabbaliyu Neenade Magane.[6][2]
Godhuli was included the 1984 International Film Festival of India (IFFI).[2] At the 25th National Film Awards, S. P. Ramanathan won the Best Audiography.[7][8] It won the Filmfare Award for Best Screenplay at the 27th Filmfare Awards for Girish Karnad and B.V. Karanth.[9]
