Ankush offers just the right balance of self-questioning, a journey of discoveries of the self and of life itself, encapsulated in a story that invests the characters and the narrative with multi-layered perspectives of blacks, whites and grays. Ankush explores the conflicting area of a marriage that fails because the NRI husband of an unsuspecting Bengali bride deserts her when she lands at New Jersey airport soon after marriage. Her journey in finding her husband leads to encounters with characters who define a microcosm of urban life where self-interest and corruption seem to triumph over faith and commitment.

Bengali cinema is admired for its poetic realism, humanist focus, and deep literary ties. Often influenced by literature, it balances art-house traditions with socially conscious storytelling, exploring morality, class, and the rhythms of rural life.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
