परिणीता

In Calcutta at the turn of the century, two families (one wealthier than the other but both belonging to the same caste) live in adjoining properties. Their respective patriarchs fall out over the repayment of a loan and the intervention of a member of a lower caste in the families' financial arrangements. The rift causes much heartache to the younger members of the families, two of whom have secretly plighted their troth to each other.

Interesting facts

Parineeta is a 1953 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by Bimal Roy. It stars Meena Kumari and Ashok Kumar in the lead. It is a remake of the 1942 Bengali film of the same name, which itself is based upon the 1914 Bengali novella of the same name by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. This version of the film is considered by many to be the most faithful adaptation of the novella, particularly due to Meena Kumari's interpretation of the role of Lalita.
