Shorts, documentaries & music-based screen work
Stories with emotional weight, cultural depth, and a strong sense of place.
GK Makwana Films creates stories that carry emotion, culture, music, and human struggle at their centre.
The company’s work moves between Australia and India, between personal experience and wider social questions. Its films are drawn to people standing at emotional crossroads — people facing identity, prejudice, love, loss, desire, faith, and the need to find meaning in difficult circumstances.
A female-centric spiritual drama set between Australia and India, the film follows Mira, a woman who travels to India not as a tourist, but as a seeker.
Currently in advanced development as an Australia–India co-production, SADHU continues the company’s commitment to stories that cross borders — culturally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Written, directed, produced, composed, and with lyrics by Girish K Makwana, the film explores caste discrimination in India and racial discrimination in Australia, while also reflecting wider human patterns of prejudice, social hypocrisy, and discrimination.
