  • Video introduction: Shivendra Singh Dungarpur (Film Heritage Foundation)

An idealistic veterinarian moves from the city to a village, determined to start a dairy cooperative where profits are distributed fairly regardless of class or caste. A visually stunning festival entry, MANTHAN was the first Indian film to be financed by crowdfunding and provoked opposition and mistrust at the time in a rural region steeped in tradition.
