Social realism was also adopted by Hindi films of the 1940s and 1950s, including Chetan Anand's "Neecha Nagar" (1946), which won the Palme d'Or at the first Cannes Film Festival, and Bimal Roy's "Two Acres of Land" (1953), which won the International Prize at the 1954 Cannes Film Festival. The success of these films gave rise to the Indian New Wave, with early Bengali art films such as Ritwik Ghatak's "Nagarik" (1952) and Satyajit Ray's "The Apu Trilogy" (1955–59). Realism in Indian cinema dates back to the 1920s and 1930s, with early examples including V. Shantaram's films "Indian Shylock" (1925) and "The Unaccpected" (1937).
