Cannes 2024: Naseeruddin And Ratna Pathak Shah, Prateik Babbar At The Screening Of Manthan

Shyam Benegal's masterpiece Manthan was screened at the Cannes Classics section this year

This year's Cannes Film Festival is extra special for Indian cinema. Reason? Shyam Benegal's masterpiece Manthan became the only Indian film to be screened at the Cannes Classics section. The movie featured Naseeruddin Shah, Girish Karnad, Smita Patil, and Amrish Puri. On Friday, the 1976 film premiered at a prestigious gala held at Salle Bunuel. In the pictures from the screening, we can spot Naseeruddin Shah, his wife, actress Ratna Pathak Shah, the late Smita Patil's son, actor Prateik Babbar, and Verghese Kurien's daughter, Nirmala Kurien, among other attendees. They all look super excited as they pose for the camera dressed in ethnic outfits, representing India on the global platform.
