Manthan (1976)
Directed by Shyam
Benegal this film stars Girish Karnad, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Smita
Patil and Naseeruddin Shah. A veterinarian and his team travel to a
village in rural India to encourage the locals to set up a milk
cooperative.
An early example of
crowd funding this film despite being funded by milk farmers
themselves shows a balanced narrative rather than being pure
propaganda. Showing both the positive and the negative sides of
characters the film explores the economic and caste issues with a
good amount of depth. There are good performances from the cast and
the direction is solid as well.
4/5
