Raat Aur Din is a 1967 Indian Hindi-language psychological film directed by Satyen Bose. The leading actress, Nargis, won the National Film Award for Best Actress for her role as Varuna, a married woman who has dissociative identity disorder. By day, she is a typical Hindu homemaker, whilst at night she calls herself Peggy and walks the streets of Calcutta. The film won critical acclaim for its story and Nargis' performance as Varuna. Over the years it has developed a cult following. This film marked Nargis' final film appearance.

Production

Nargis had retired from films after Mother India (1957) to marry her co-star Sunil Dutt the following year and start a family. Her brother Jaffer Hussain lured her back to do this film, as he was the producer who was going through a difficult time, and she decided to help him, with the support of her husband. Shooting began in 1960 when Nargis was pregnant with her second child Namrata.
