Storyline
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. Written by
van Goethem

Parineeta (1953) | Dustedoff
https://madhulikaliddle.com/2018/11/11/parineeta-1956/
Nov 11, 2018 - And a film based on a novel by Sarat Chandra, no less? .... The 1953 Parineeta is very faithful to the novel—down to exact scenes, like the one ...
Parineeta is centred round two adjoining households, one occupied by the wealthy Nabin Rai (Badri Prasad) who lives with his wife (Protima Devi), his two sons (of whom the younger one, Shekhar, is played by Ashok Kumar) and the elder son, Avinash’s, wife. Shekhar is studying to be a lawyer, and his parents are trying to find a match for him.
Nabin and his family live in a grand mansion befitting their wealth and status. The home next door is far more modest, and is occupied by Gurucharan (Nazir Hussain), his wife, their children, and Gurucharan’s niece, Lalita (Meena Kumari). Gurucharan’s wife, Lalita’s maami, is a strident woman, overworked and trying to make do with very little, but occasionally snapping under the pressure.
But things are not unbearable. Whenever she has the time, Lalita runs off to Shekhar’s room, to study. Shekhar has been teaching her (English, among other subjects) and even when he’s not around, Lalita sits in his room and labours over her books. When he is in his room, the relationship between these two comes forth as an interesting one of a happy and comfortable camaraderie: he teases her, she teases him back. She calmly borrows a few coins from his wallet and wonders when she will be able to repay this debt; he—somewhat mysteriously, to Lalita—replies that the debt is being paid.
Meanwhile, other developments are taking place. Gurucharan, who is in debt to Nabin Rai (he had to mortgage his house to pay for the wedding of Lalita’s elder sister), is now being badgered to clear the debt or vacate the house. Gurucharan is in a flap; what will he do? With this family to look after, his little daughter Anu to be educated, and both Lalita and his own elder daughter Malti to be (sometime) married off, the meagre salary he gets is far from adequate.
But, little known to both Gurucharan and Lalita, she has acquired an admirer. Lalita’s friend and neighbour Charu (?) has her uncle Girin (Asit Baran) visiting from Munger. When Lalita goes to visit Charu, Girin notices her and is smitten. So smitten that it doesn’t escape the notice of his brother-in-law, Charu’s father (SN Banerjee), though Charu’s mother (Manorama) is completely oblivious.
Lalita herself doesn’t have a clue about Girin’s feelings, or that he has engineered a ploy whereby not just Charu’s family, but Lalita and Anu should all go to the theatre together. Lalita, all decked up, comes to Shekhar’s room to borrow money for the theatre jaunt, and is surprised when Shekhar seems huffy about it. He doesn’t say it in so many words, but Shekhar obviously does not like the idea of Lalita going off with this lot.
And Lalita, thrown off-balance by Shekhar’s reaction, is suddenly no longer eager to go out either.
Surely it cannot be that Shekhar harbours feelings for Lalita? After all, when Shekhar’s parents pinpoint a match for him—and a very fine match too, the family extremely wealthy and well-placed—Shekhar makes no objection. Though, when he does go with his elder brother Avinash to ‘see’ the girl in question, he comes back and has very little to say about the girl, except that she was laden down with jewellery… his mother and bhabhi realize that Shekhar didn’t like her.
Lalita, who had been excited about Shekhar’s going bride-hunting (or bride-viewing), to the extent of even suggesting what he should wear for the occasion, teased him about the girl. It had never appeared that Shekhar could have turned down a prospective bride because he loves Lalita instead, and Lalita’s innocent teasing of Shekhar, the completely natural, unaffected way in which she goes about him and his belongings, borrowing money, settling his cupboard, aware of every piece of clothing he owns—she comes across more as a younger sister, perhaps, than a love interest.
That, however, might have something to do with the way even Shekhar’s mother treats Lalita: Lalita has been in and out of their house ever since she was a child. She helps with the housework, sitting and cutting vegetables with Shekhar’s mother and bhabhi, chatting, running errands. Lalita and her cousins use a connecting passage between the two houses to come and go as they please, and when Shekhar’s mother plans a trip to Madhupur, Lalita is invited to come along too.
Lalita, now beginning to feel a little awkward around Shekhar, is still oblivious to Girin. Girin has already been warned—in a jovial, joking way—by his brother-in-law: he shouldn’t hold out any hope of attaining Lalita, because her family are orthodox Brahmins, and Girin, for all that he’s pretty well-off, is a sudra, after all.
Girin does not let that deter him. He soon goes off to visit Gurucharan, introduces himself (he hardly needs to; Gurucharan already knows about him), and is given a warm welcome by Gurucharan.
Gurucharan and young Girin grow so comfortable with each other that Gurucharan even confides in Girin that he wants a good groom for Lalita. Will Girin help him find one? And Girin (perhaps hoping that, by actively participating in this endeavour, he will be able to stall other prospective grooms?) agrees readily.
Of course, as soon as they’ve gone to meet the first potential groom, Girin shoots down his candidature: not handsome enough for Lalita. Shekhar, who has learnt of Girin’s growing intimacy with Gurucharan, comes visiting, and his dislike and suspicion of Girin is obvious, even though he’s genteel and polite all the while.
One day, Girin comes to meet Gurucharan. When he discovers how distressed the older man is because of the debt that’s weighing down on him, Girin offers to lend Gurucharan the money—three thousand rupees—to pay off Nabin Babu. No, no interest or anything; Gurucharan can return it as and when he is able to.
This momentous decision has several repercussions. First, it makes Gurucharan very grateful to Girin: he had never expected such magnanimity, and this is a colossal weight off his shoulders.
Secondly, it allows Gurucharan to finally stop cringing and cowering in front of Nabin Rai. He is able to hand over the money and clear the loan (though, as requested by Girin, Gurucharan does not divulge the name of the man who’s lent him the money). Gurucharan gets the precious papers of his house back. He also gets back his self-respect and enough spine to finally hit back at the nasty Nabin Babu and tell him what he thinks of his high-handed ways.
Anu, blabbermouth that she is, tells Shekhar how Girin has bailed them all out by his generosity, and the knowledge of it makes Shekhar uneasy. Gurucharan should have come to him if he was so in need. Shekhar also realizes that by doing this, Girin has further endeared himself to Gurucharan and his family.
A few days later, little Anu is busy organizing her doll’s wedding, and Lalita helps out, making garlands. Amidst all the hustle and bustle—these little girls take their dolls’ weddings seriously—Shekhar teasingly asks Anu for a garland for himself too, and Lalita ends up being sent to Shekhar’s room with it. She playfully flings the garland around his neck, and Shekhar, suddenly altered, asks her if she realizes what this means. Today is a day very auspicious for weddings. An exchange of garlands today between a man and a woman can mean only one thing.
And before Lalita has even had the opportunity to process all of this, Shekhar has put the garland around her neck.
Lalita is bewildered, shocked—and finally, ecstatic. There is a demure shyness between them, even as Shekhar confesses his love for her. Lalita bends to touch his feet. She is his bride now, never mind that nobody else knows of it. But everything turns topsy-turvy soon after. Because of Gurucharan’s continuing ill health (brought on, no doubt, by stress), Lalita has had to back out of accompanying Shekhar and his mother to Madhupur. They, however, do go, and while leaving, Shekhar quietly hands Lalita the keys to his room: if she needs money, she should take as much as she wants.
Shekhar goes off to Madhupur, and while he’s gone, all hell breaks loose.
