Teen Kanya (Bengali: তিন কন্যা, English: Three Girls) is a 1961 Indian Bengali anthology film directed by Satyajit Ray, and based upon short stories by Rabindranath Tagore. The title means "Three Girls", and the film's original Indian release contained three stories.[1] However, the international release of the film contained only two stories, missing the second ("Monihara: The Lost Jewels"). This version was released on VHS in 1997 under the title Two Daughters.[2] The Academy Film Archive preserved the international version of Teen Kanya in 1996.[3]
