'''''Parineeta''''' ({{IPA-hi|pəɾɪniːtaː}}; {{Translation|Married woman}}) is a 1953 Indian [[Bollywood|Hindi]]-language [[drama film]] starring [[Meena Kumari|Ashok Kumar]] and [[Ashok Kumar|Meena Kumari]] , based upon the 1914 Bengali novella of [[Parineeta (novel)|the same name]] by [[Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay]]. The film was directed by [[Bimal Roy]]. 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.<br />
<br />
== Story ==<br />
Lalita ([[Meena Kumari]]) is an orphaned niece of an impoverished clerk named Gurucharan ([[Nazir Hussain]]). Shekhar ([[Ashok Kumar]]), is the son of their rich landlord neighbor. Shekhar had a liking for Lalita. Gurucharan has to mortgage his house to Shekhar's father in order to get one of his daughters married as he is heavily debt-ridden. Shekhar's father often chides him about his overdue loan and a day comes when completely pressed on all sides, Gurucharan is forced to take advantage of the altruistic offer of an interest-free loan made by a wealthy young man named Girin. This gives rise to an ugly misunderstanding that Lalita has been "sold" to Girin. What happens thereafter forms the gripping conclusion of this great story of perfect love. The beautiful part of this movie is dialogue and communication between [[Meena Kumari]] and [[Ashok Kumar]].<br />
