Dui Kanya (Two Daughters)

Dui Kanya is an anthology film based on short stories by Rabindranath Tagore. The title means "Two Daughters", and the film's international release contained two stories, with two central female characters linking the stories together. 'The Postmaster' concerns an orphan girl who grows attached to the postmaster she is caring for after he teaches her to read and write. 'Samapti' follows a young man who falls for an unconventional girl from his new village instead of his arranged bride, the daughter of a respectable family. This international release did not include Monihara (The Lost Jewels) which was left out probably due to concerns about length and English subtitles not being ready at the time. The three stories were originally released in the Indian anthology film Teen Kanya in 1961.
