Kapurush (Bengali: কাপুরুষ), English title The Coward, is a 1965 Indian drama film directed by Satyajit Ray.

A tea planter, Bimal Gupta, offers hospitality for the night, and Amitabha accepts.

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.

As Gupta is about to wake up, Amitabha writes a note to Karuna, telling her to come to the railway station later if she still cares for him.

Amitabha falls asleep; when he awakens, he is approached by Karuna, thinking that she wants to go with him, but all she asks for is to return the sleeping pills which she gave him.
