Manthan Blu-Ray + Booklet (Second Run/Region Free) [Preorder]

Preorder scheduled for release October 27, 2025

Manthan tells the story of the extraordinary dairy cooperative movement that transformed India from a milk-deficient nation to the world’s largest milk producer. The movement broke the shackles of economic inequality and caste discrimination whilst empowering the farmers. Manthan was integral to spreading the message of the benefits of the cooperative to farmers across the country and thus became a vital part of building that movement.
