Meghe Dhaka Tara

Set in a refugee household near Calcutta after the partition of Bengal, this 1960 Bengali drama follows Nita, a devoted young woman who quietly shoulders her family's financial and emotional burdens. While her injured father cannot work and her brother delays pursuing his music career, Nita sacrifices her own needs and relationships to keep the household afloat. Directed by Ritwik Ghatak and based on a novel by Shaktipada Rajguru, it is the first film in a loose trilogy exploring the lasting effects of Partition on displaced families.
