Indian cinema has a strong legacy spotlighting farmers
1957 cult film, Mother India, brought to the forefront the theme in question, also emerging as India's first Academy Awards submission. Bimal Roy's Do Bigha Zamin (1953) bagged a win at the Cannes Film Festival, also being honoured with an all-India certificate of merit and National Film Award. Shyam Bengal's Manthan, which released in 1976, was incidentally produced by 5,00,000 farmers from Gujarat.

2001 film Lagaan, is arguably among the most popular names in this roundup, also bagging an Academy Award nomination the same year for its poignant storytelling. 2021 film Bhoomi, directed by Lakshman, highlighted the unqiue methods of organic farming adopted by farmers in congruence with technology. Other films with a similar theme, worthy of a mention, are, Naya Daur (1957) and Upkar (1967).
