- Naseeruddin Shah and Shivendra Singh Dungarpur speak to Anupama Chopra about their film Manthan (1976), which was shown at the 77th Cannes film Festival as part of Cannes Classics. Directed by Shyam Benegal, the film was crowd-funded by 500,000 farmers from the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Federation, each contributing two rupees. Shah reflected on Manthan’s unexpected success and the experience of presenting it to a non-Indian audience. Dungarpur speaks passionately about the work of the Film Heritage Foundation and their efforts to preserve and restore Indian films. Shah hopes that the Cannes screening of Manthan and its re-release in India spawns a generation of people who care about the preservation of important cinema.

Heartwarming to see the work of a legit legend like Naseer sahab getting his due on a global stage like Cannes. This feels like a personal triumph, and a triumph for Indian cinema in general.
And the FHF is doing God's work! They are a boon to Indian cinema, and this is not a hyperbolic statement.
This is the best interview from Cannes so far! ❤
Its ma'am anu's face and eagerness that takes the cake for me, when shivi mentions we will show it to the public. The love of movies!
Incredible work when the film was made, and now with the restoration. Anupama speaks for all of us when she says we owe Mr Dungarpur a huge debt!
How sad that legends are ignored non actors like Sonam Kapoor push their way to Cannes. Please let this platform remain film festival and not fashion parade. Love you both Naseer and Ratna.
Ain't it too late now... 🤔 All kinds of clowns are invited now. Seeing R and N is a fresh breath of air.
It makes you think how good cannes are at giving appreciation to people who deserve it.
So happy to see this interview! Smita Patil and Girish Karnad you will always be icons ❤
The fact that Beer Biceps has been invited to Cannes before Naseer Saab is pure tragedy.
Shivendra singh ji dungarpur is doing phenomenal work in restoring indian cinema heritage. He is one of the close freind of Christopher Nolan. He asked nolan to come to jodhpur and shoot batman. Really proud of you Hukum.Thanku anupama ma'am for inviting shivendra singh ji.
His film Nishant was at cannes in 70s, in the main competition
The neglect with archives in our country is really disturbing, whether it’s film or print media.
This was actually quite moving. I’m so glad we finally have people like Mr Dungarpur with the passion needed to take the helm of projects like this.
I also loved how honest Naseeruddin Shah was about his involvement in the film. He didn’t try to make it seem like he knew how important the film was at the time. He’s a legend but is almost self-deprecating. And I really like how complimentary he was of all the other artists.
Thank you for this interview. I hope to be able to watch Manthan at some point.
This is a proud moment for us, Shyam ji being my favorite director of all time 🇮🇳🎥❤. But Nasir sir should have mentioned about our Anant Nag too….Smita is being missed…..so is Girish sir whose birthday it is today 🙏
The man Shivendra is a wonderful human being and is doing such a job too 🙏🙏
He did in another interview at Cannes. It's impossible to rattle of all names in an interview setting at the best of times let alone when you're 74.
Thank you Mr. Dungarpur for your contributions. This is a magnificent effort to restore movies like Manthan.
Finally!! Someone legit at the Cannes...🫶
Let's discus Shyam Babu's works in a series of episodes, @Filmcompanion. We need to honor these talented, passionate, wonderful human beings. I want to show Shyam Babu that we value his contribution to the cinema and to India. 🙂 Can you guys do something about it ??
Naseer bhai is one of the best actors ever for sure!
"An actors job is to communicate the content rather than to display his wears." That is so potent from Naseer Sahab.
Naseer sir is the living embodiment of putting your head down & doing the work ... Greatness will follow!
The greatest Indian actors of all time:
1. Dilip Kumar
2. Naseeruddin Shah
3. Kamal Haasan
4. Mammootty
5. Balraj Sahni
6. Irrfan Khan
1 Balraj Sahni
2 Sanjeev Kumar

Add Mohanlal too.
All are under mohanlal
All are under mohanlal
Add Mohanlal & Uttam Kumar
Thsi is for Mr. Shivendra . Can he restore the classic English August . Not able to find it anywhere and would love to see it in today’s context .
Thanks for restoring our culture and heritage.🙏
I hope we will be able to see all the great movies again in cinemas.
Legendary interview!🙌🏼🔥
Naseeruddin Shah is the only Indian actor who has contributed in the growth of Indian cinema and theater in a way no actor has ever done. He is doing theaters, movies, short movies, series and teaching as well. He is such a brilliant actor and a legend any movie industry has ever produced. I love to hear his stories and experiences, I find them very honest. I am always curious about him and want to see him more in movies and OTT.
Sad, but better late than never!!!!! Not taking away from influencers, but so many of them are at Cannes and Naseerrddin Shah is there for the first time!!!!! Insane!!!!!!!!!!
I want to thank you, Mr. Shivendra Singh Dungarpur Sir! Those films were our hopes in our youth!! In today's India I feel isolated. I can't relate anymore with the progress, which costs vanishing of our beautiful culture and depletion of environment and natural wealth.
For farmers, Manthan Continues, though in different form.
Theatrical release wow❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That is not Savita Bajaj. Please don’t Google film cast and copy-paste whatever photos you get. It would take just a couple of minutes to find the right person’s face and photo.
They should restore all Dada Kondke films too. I am very serious about it.
Great
Exicted to watch this restored version. is there any way to watch restored version of nirod mahapatra's ''MAYA MIRIGA'' ??
Arre wah anupama is here. Now it's fun
🤯👌
Please put it in some OTT so that we can see the film in our convenience.
UA-cam pe boht time se hai

80s parallel cinema movement needs a renaissance
Hum first hum first
#Cannes - what took you so long!
How this guy never been to cannes? Alia Bhatt invited there before him is such a tragedy.
SHAM BABU IS GREAT DIRECTOR NO QUESTION NO DOUDT BUT I HAVE QUESTION IN MIND HOW HE READY TO DIRECT BANGOBONDHU FILM WITH GOOD BUDGET BUT SO CHEAP STORY CHEAP ACTING ?I GUESS IT WILL BE HIS DARK SPOT IN GLORIOUS CARRIER..IMHO
Shivendra : 500 Farmers
Naseer : 500,000 Farmers
FC Time Tag on Video : 5,00,000 Farmers
Ok.
Girish Karnad
Influencers have captured cannes
Is there any aishwariya rai interview??
Perhaps poverty porn or promoting stereotypes about India sells in the West.
Unpopular opinion but I'll say it anyway. Always found Naseer to be hammy in most of his films with only a handful of films where he's not super reherased and over the top. Second, he always comes across as someone who craves the fame of a star but sees commercial cinema as inferior. If he has such negative view of commercial cinema, he should understand that he cannot reach larger audiences. Just because it's sad and dark, it doesn't become good cinema! Most people don't want to watch daily misery. Perhaps that's why more foreigners watch this kind of grim cinema. And I'm off to watch Madgaon Express on Prime.
