Parineeta

Everybody has had a lolita in his life.But almost none have been able to keep her.So it is everybody's dream/fantasy come true.Go ahead and make your longing come alive maybe just this once-or again and again every time you see it.And interweave each song with this feeling of exultation till it becomes the song of your life.Parineeta is not just a movie -it is your own life.Nostalgia for the splendour of Bengal as truth not fiction for those who care and a pie in the eye for those who did not want to care; the timeless sensitivity of Saratchandra to the strength and honesty of the womanly mind;sadly in contrast to the weakness men display.Dear viewer please shed the hard shell of armor you have so painstakingly built around yourself-bathe your long forgotten soft self with the healing light of this salve.

 

 

Plus Points: Story,screenplay,song merge into the complete visual offering. As I have said,haunting.It will not let you go.

 

Minus Points: Those with rigid regional dislikes will have a mental block.Slight melodrama at the end but the original version would not fit with the times.
