Meghdhanushya — The Colour of Life (2013) is the first movie to positively feature the gay community in Indian Gujarati cinema. It is directed by K. R. Devmani and produced by Mahendra Bhai Patel, with narration by Manvendra Singh Gohil and Sylvester Merchant.

This film portrays how lesbians and gay men have a part in society, and shows their situations and conditions they experience. Gohil notes that even five years ago the film would have been received negatively, but now has received an "A" ("Adults Only") rating from the Censor Board of India.

Because of the subject matter the filmmaker has had to seek legal relief to get the same tax incentives of other films. They also faced censorship issues.
