Kony (Bengali: কোনি) is a national award winning Bengali movie released in 1986 directed by Saroj Dey,[1] starring Soumitra Chatterjee and Sriparna Banerjee. This film is a adaptation of a Bengali novel by the same name written by Moti Nandi. The film is about a girl living in Calcutta slums, who with help of her coach triumph over poverty and hardships. Film's lead Sriparna Banerjee was also a professional swimmer herself in the 1970s and at the time of casting a student of Jadavpur University.

In an 2012 interview, veteran actor, Soumitra Chatterjee, called Kony one of the best films of his career. He even recalled using film's catch-phrase "Fight-Koni-fight" in hard times, as a chant to himself to lift his "aging spirits". The phrase had become popular with middle-class Bengalis at the time.
