JUST WHEN MAINSTREAM Hindi cinema stepped into an exciting new phase with the rise of the 'Angry Young Man' in the '70s, Shyam Benegal made a stunning debut as the writer and director of Ankur (The Seedling, 1974), propelling the parallel cinema movement in India.
JUST WHEN MAINSTREAM Hindi cinema stepped into an exciting new phase with the rise of the 'Angry Young Man' in the '70s, Shyam Benegal made a stunning debut as the writer and director of Ankur (The Seedling, 1974), propelling the parallel cinema movement in India.
A refreshingly original movie, Ankur was a searing criticism of the caste system and rural feudalism in India and received widespread national and international acclaim. This ensured a phenomenal start to his film career as the then 40-year-old Benegal became a 'disruptor', who with his powerful storytelling and touch of social realism established himself as a modern master and a visionary in the years that followed.
Benegal, who turned 90 earlier this month, passed away in Wockhardt hospital in Mumbai on Monday.
