Bhumika is a 1977 Indian Hindi language film directed by Shyam Benegal. The film stars Smita Patil, Amol Palekar, Anant Nag, Naseeruddin Shah and Amrish Puri.

Production

The film was based on the autobiography of the doyenne of Marathi theatre and cinema Hansa Wadkar during the 1940s and 50s. The biography was told to journalist Arun Sadhu, who used the title of the hit musical, Sangtye Aika (1959) or " "Listen, and I'll Tell."

The film was set in the Maharashtra region. Benegal's previous films were based in the Hyderabad region, and since he was unfamiliar with the region, he roped in screenwriter and playwright Girish Karnad to co-write the script. Another noted theatre director and playwright Satyadev Dubey wrote the dialogues. The story moves back and forth across flashbacks to the early life of Wadkar.

Lead actress, 22-year-old Smita Patil who found the role daunting initially, went on to win the Best Actress Award for her performance. Today it is considered one of the best performances of her career.
