Why Test Subject V, Presented by PETA India Honorary Director John Abraham, is a Must Watch
“Was my entire childhood a lie?”—Kunal Avanti
We often inherit beliefs about food, animals, health, and the world around us without ever stopping to ask why. But real growth begins with curiosity—the courage to question what we’ve always accepted as the status quo.
That is exactly what Test Subject V invites viewers to do.
Streaming exclusively on Jio Hot Star, Test Subject V is an engaging 72-minute hybrid documentary presented by PETA India Honorary Director John Abraham, directed by Sol Kohli, and created and produced by Kunal Avanti. Starring John Abraham, the film also features Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh, bringing together compelling storytelling with heartfelt performances and a message that lingers long after the credits roll.
At first glance, the story follows an ordinary Indian man, Kunal Avanti, living an ordinary life. Comfortable in his routines and unquestioning of the choices he has made for years, he represents millions of us. But as he embarks on a deeply personal journey, he begins to challenge long-held beliefs about animals, food, health, fitness, compassion, sustainability, and the way society shapes our thinking.
What follows is funny, surprising, emotional, and deeply relatable.
PETA India is proud to be the film’s Social Impact Partner with the film’s messaging reflecting a vision of creating a kinder world for all beings. The film doesn’t lecture. Rather than telling audiences what to think, Test Subject V encourages something far more powerful: thinking for ourselves.
Produced by members of the creative team behind acclaimed documentaries such as The Game Changers, Cowspiracy, Seaspiracy, and What the Health, Test Subject V combines humour, animation, music, and engaging storytelling to create an entertaining experience designed especially for Indian audiences.
Whether you care about animals, your health, the environment, or simply enjoy inspiring stories about personal transformation, Test Subject V has something meaningful to offer.
