'''''Kabita''''' is a 1977 Indian [[Bengali language|Bengali-language]] film directed by Bharat Shumsher, starring [[Mala Sinha]] in the lead role. The film is a remake of the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] classic film ''[[Aval Oru Thodar Kathai]]'' (1974) where [[Kamal Haasan]] had a supporting role as a neighbor. He played the same role in the [[Bengali language|Bengali]] remake, thus his only foray into [[Bengali language|Bengali]] film industry. He also acted in the [[Telugu language|Telugu]] remake ''[[Anthuleni Katha]]'' (1976) with [[Jayaprada]], playing a different role as her boss and suitor. He also did a guest role in another remake, the [[Kannada language|Kannada]] film ''[[Benkiyalli Aralida Hoovu]]'' (1983) with his real-life niece [[Suhasini]] playing the lead role. The only remake he didn't appear in is the [[Hindi]] film ''[[Jeevan Dhaara]]'' (1982) starring [[Rekha]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dhar |first=Pooja |date=4 October 2020 |title=Kamal Haasan's only Bengali movie 'Kabita' and everything you need to know about it |url=https://www.republicworld.com/entertainment-news/regional-indian-cinema/kamal-haasans-only-bengali-movie-and-everything-you-need-to-know.html |access-date=16 May 2021 |website=[[Republic TV|Republic World]] |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210623104914/https://www.republicworld.com/entertainment-news/regional-indian-cinema/kamal-haasans-only-bengali-movie-and-everything-you-need-to-know.html |archive-date=23 June 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://calcuttatube.com/2007/10/10/kabita-kamal-hasan-online-bangla-movie/ |title=Kabita (1977) - Kamal Hassan - Mala Sinha Classic |publisher=calcuttatube.com |accessdate=2009-02-10 |last= |first= |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203203441/http://calcuttatube.com/2007/10/10/kabita-kamal-hasan-online-bangla-movie/ |archivedate=3 February 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/KB%E2%80%99s-continuum/article16448445.ece |title=KB's continuum |last=Narayan |first=Hari |date=15 November 2016 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=23 June 2021 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161123114238/http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/KB%E2%80%99s-continuum/article16448445.ece |archive-date=23 November 2016}}</ref>
