Film making is no child's play. There are many departments in the whole process of making any film. Be it casting the actors, art department, location hunting, taking care of the actors, technicians, composing the film's music, getting suitable financers on board etc⦠The list is endless.

Speaking of film financiers, in a seamless ocean of films, there is one particular film which stands out and for all the right reasons. The film is the late Smita Patil starrer âManthan'. The film has a story in itself. The film's premise was the real-life story of Amul's founder Verghese Kurien and the farmers. Reports state that, the farmers all over, had agreed to donate Rs. 2 towards the making of the film!
Little did they know that, they will one day be known as the people behind India's 'largest crowd funded' film! Once the film was made, truckloads (quite literally!) of farmers came to see âManthan' as it was âtheir' film. Needless to say, the film went on to become a huge success at the box-office.
