This episode unpacks one of the most important Indian films, Ankur (seedling) directed by the late Shyam Benegal. It stars veterans of Hindi, Oriya, and Kannada films: Shabana Azmi, Sadhu Meher, and Anant Nag in pivotal roles.
Ankita and Azhar discuss how caste affects desires and the complex interplay of cowardice and casteist power represented through the character, Surya. Allegedly based on real incident, Ankur remains a testament of powerful storytelling in Indian cinema. It generates a nostalgia, a desire to go back to the socialist foundations of Indian/Hindi cinema being lost in the post 2014 Hindutva era. Can such a film be still made today?
