Ankur was the first feature film directed by Shyam Benegal and the debut film of Shabana Azmi and Anant Nag. The film was shot in Hyderabad and it is based on a true story that occurred in Hyderabad in the 1950s. Ankur, the film features a lovely single take shot of a woman running through her house, to a window, and out into the front yard, to rouse her husband. There is quite a period look and feel of the film. Don't you love the bhonpu horn in the vintage car? In 1974, a low budget Hindi film created quite a reputation in the world of Indian Cinema. At a time when the notion of good cinema was primarily associated with regional language films, this sensitive portrayal of rural exploitation became a critical and commercial success. Ankur, the first feature film by Shyam Benegal went on to win accolades and brought instant recognition to his extra ordinary talent. Shyam Benegal's career spanning over 15 years in feature films coincide with an exciting period of the new Indian Cinema. The Films of Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen and other Regional Directors created an ambiance which began to accept serious Indian Films, for his part Benegal avoided the self-consciousness of much of art cinema concentrating instead on narrative communication, what some critics called the path of the mirror of old cinema.
