Nishi Padma is a 1970 Indian Bengali-language drama film co-written and directed by Arabinda Mukhopadhyay. Produced by Shantimoy Banerjee under the banner of Chirantan Chitra, the film is based on Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay's short story Hinger Kochuri. The film portrays the decline of human values and relationships and contrasts it by presenting an illustrious example of a boy's innocent love for a neighbourhood tawaif (courtesan).
