Ek Din Pratidin (Bengali: এক দিন প্রতিদিন, lit: "A Day Like Any Other," English title: "And Quiet Rolls the Dawn") is a 1979 Bengali drama film directed by Mrinal Sen, who also wrote the screenplay based on an Amalendu Chakraborty novel.

Set in contemporary India, the film follows the trauma experienced by a family when the breadwinning daughter fails to return from work.

Later, one of her sisters (Sreela Majumdar) goes out to make a phone call to see if she can contact the office, but there is no response.

The oldest son goes to the police station to lodge a complaint and then to the morgue to see if the recently deceased bodies include his sister, he is sickened by the experience.

Chinu’s earnings are “usurped to fulfil the needs of the family, for the good-for-nothing older brother's pocket money and for the younger sister's education.”[3]
