Paar (translation: "The Crossing ") is a 1984 Indian Hindi-language film directed by Goutam Ghose and produced by Swapan Sarkar.

The labourer Naurangia (Naseeruddin Shah) breaks with a tradition to passive resistance and retaliates by killing the landlord's brother.

To earn the fare, they agree to drive the herd of pigs through the river, causing the pregnant Rama to believe she has lost her baby.

But they have to swim across a wide, swiftly flowing river, in which they nearly drown before reaching safety.

At the end of the film Naurangia puts his ear to her belly and listens to the heartbeats of the unborn baby.
