Gujarati Film ‘Jeev’ to Release on 12th December: A Heart-Touching Story of Humanity and Compassion. At the core of the story is Veljibhai, a ‘Jeev’ who became the lifeline for countless other living beings.
Ahmedabad / Gujarat: Inspired by a true story, the Gujarati film ‘Jeev’ is set to release on 12th December 2026. The film beautifully portrays emotions, humanity and kindness towards all living creatures, which has already caught the eye of many film lovers. Gujarati cinema has been growing steadily over the past few years with films based on real stories, and ‘Jeev’ joins this movement of simple, strong and value-based storytelling.
Produced by Vivaan Films LLP and directed by Jigar Kapdi, the film is backed by producers Nirav Mehta and Vicky Mehta. Vivaan Films has earlier supported projects that focus on social themes, and this film also follows that path by highlighting the bond between humans and animals. The team aims to reach audiences in both cities and villages, as the subject speaks to everyone who believes in basic kindness.
The recently released trailer brings special attention to Dharmendra Gohil’s powerful performance. He has made a name for himself in Gujarati theatre and films, known for strong expressions and emotional depth. The trailer also features Sunny Pancholi, Shraddha Dangar, Yatin Karyekar and Hemang Shah, who appear in important roles. All of them have worked in respected Gujarati and national projects, which adds strength to the cast. The trailer opens with a touching dialogue:
“What fault do these voiceless creatures have? Only that they have life, but no tongue to speak?”
This line reflects the main message of the film. Many animal welfare groups in Gujarat have long raised this concern. The film brings alive the selfless bond between a human and mute, helpless animals. India has many stories of local heroes who spend their own time and money to care for street animals. The film brings such real-life efforts to the big screen in a simple and emotional way.
The story revolves around Veljibhai Mehta, a noble soul who dedicated his entire life to the service and care of animals. People close to his real story say he worked day and night to rescue injured cows, dogs and other animals in his area. The trailer shows this invisible emotional connection between humans and voiceless beings. Veljibhai, a true ‘Jeev’, became a support system for thousands of other lives. The film shows how one person with a kind heart can bring change to an entire community. It also reminds viewers that animals feel pain and fear just like humans.
Across Gujarat, many local groups and volunteers follow similar work, like providing food, water and medical help to stray animals during summer and monsoon. The film gently reflects this culture of care and respect. ‘Jeev’ is a film that celebrates humanity and is sure to fill audiences with pride.
The filmmakers shared that “‘Jeev’ is not just a film — it is a powerful message that leads society towards humanity, empathy and compassion for all living beings. The trailer is just the first step in connecting viewers with the soul of the film, and we are confident that this story will touch every heart.” They hope that more people will come forward to support animal care and see animals as part of our shared world.
Films based on true events often leave a deep mark on viewers, and ‘Jeev’ aims to create awareness through storytelling. With clean visuals, emotional music and strong acting, the makers want to inspire families, students and young viewers. Many Gujarati films in recent years, such as “Hellaro” and “Chhello Divas”, have shown that regional films can be both meaningful and entertaining. ‘Jeev’ is expected to join that list with its warm message and simple story rooted in real life.
