In many ways, Amitabha feels entitled to better treatment as well. In the first few moments that he steals alone with Karuna, he asks why she’s treating him so coldly — as if he was expecting her to run into his arms the second she saw him, like the heroine of one of his movies. But all she does is avert her eyes and leave the room, resolutely refusing to meet his unwavering gaze throughout the evening. This frigidity also permeates the scene in which Karuna enters the guest quarters that Amitabha has been assigned to bring him a towel and some water.

Kapurush (Bengali: কাপুরুষ), English title The Coward, is a 1965 Indian drama film directed by Satyajit Ray.
Plot
[edit]Amitabha Ray is a Calcutta-based scriptwriter who is driving around in the country to collect material for a film. His vehicle breaks down in a small town. A tea planter, Bimal Gupta, offers hospitality for the night, and Amitabha accepts. At Gupta's house, he is introduced to his wife Karuna. Amitabha is shocked to find her to be the girl he once loved and had let down during their student days. Unaware of their past relationship, Gupta entertains Amitabha and gets drunk.
Unable to sleep, Amitabha remembers the last time he saw Karuna. Forced to leave town with her uncle who did not approve of the relationship, Karuna came to see Amitabha, offering to sacrifice her comfortable life and educational plans to marry him. Amitabha, however, proved to be a coward, unwilling to make such a commitment. Back in the present, he asks for sleeping pills from Karuna, and asks if she is happy with her husband, to which she gives no definite answer.
The next morning, Amitabha decides to take the train instead of waiting for his vehicle to be repaired. Gupta drives him to the train station in his car, accompanied by his wife. A
