About Ek Din Pratidin
The bread-winning daughter in a middle-class family fails to return from work one evening. The saga begins with worries at home, followed by midnight searches and finally a deepening crisis arising out of economic and moral constraints prevalent in the society. Yet the film speaks of hope and of strength hidden behind despair.
Directed by Mrinal Sen, Ek Din Pratidin leans on a strong ensemble — Satya Banerjee, Gita Sen, Mamata Shankar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1979.
