If this was an intro of a movie, would you watch it? 🙃

Pakistan is full of folktales and great stories. But they are lost in the books no one is reading and conversations no one is having.

You guys know how obsessed we are with folktales and we believe they should be celebrated. After the video we made on Skardu mountain fairy, when we heard about the legend of Gondrani caves, we couldn’t help but get fascinated by it. And decided to envision it, but with our own twist.

Mai Godrani’s tale is one that has been forgotten with time. It is said that demons and evil spirits inhabiting the mountains nearby would torment and feed on the flesh of the people of Gondrani. And a holy woman sacrificed herself to kill the demons and saved her village. Her body was buried nearby but her soul still inhabits these caves. This is a story of a woman protecting her community from evil, who came to be known as Mai Gondrani.

And this is our version of it: redefining and celebrating our local folktales.
