Paromitar Ek Din (Bengali: পারমিতার একদিন Paromitar Êkdin, lit. "One day of Paromita's", English title: House of Memories) is a 2000 Indian Bengali drama film directed by Aparna Sen.
This film is exploring the dual themes of friendship and loneliness. Sanaka (Aparna Sen) and Paromita (Rituparna Sengupta) are mother and daughter-in-law who, despite differences in age, backgrounds and temperaments, build a strong bond together. But when Paromita's marriage to Sanaka's son breaks down, social mores prevent the women from remaining close friends. While Paromita remarries and begins a new life, her mother-in-law, Sanaka, is left heartbroken and alone and eventually falls seriously ill. When Paromita learns of her friend's deterioration, she is compelled to flout convention, and returns to nurse Sanaka on her deathbed.
The film had won many national and international awards -
