Parineeta (Hindi pronunciation: [pəɾɪniːtaː]; transl. Married woman) 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.
