Ankur is very complex film in it's portrayal. Cinematographer Govind Nihalani captured the village beautifully. It was the first released film of Shabana Azmi for which she got the National Award.
Ankur also showed several social issues like poverty, ugliness of Indian caste system, religious differences of that time, which are equally relevant to today's world.
