Samskara (Kannada, 1970)
Adoor Gopalakrishnan said, 'Samskara marks a departure from traditional South Indian cinema' and his words couldn’t have been more true ‘cause this film is certainly a path-breaker challenging the established customs & rituals. No wonder it was initially banned by the censor board but it is heartening to see that the film was allowed to come out in 1970 & it won the Golden Lotus (Swarna Kamal) Award for that year from India. Deserved would be an understatement.
