holy cow! parineeta rocked!
now now now...lets hold on a second...van chitgough is not the biggest on indian cinema, be it arty or farty, be it dhishoom or vishoom....but bengali cinema as i learned yesterday is of some substance...
Parineeta, a remake of an old classic was marked by some brilliant screenplay, kickass acting by our own sanju and saif...and this new actress Vidya Bala or whatever her name is, added some seriously definitive meanings of what we term as 'attractive' in Indian cinema today....
Watching the movie with my dutch compatriot 'sir adrienne van dok' (not shes not knighted, and shes not a 'he'; but her royalty comes from her von dutchedness :) also made it more enjoyable as I got to delve into the under currents of large communities in bengal and how patriarchal cultures play such a predominant role in lives , even till date. The twist in the movie is the usage of a traditional 'technicality'; and I would urge all with even the slightest interest in this type of entertainment to get a 'dekho'.
Chitgo - If you liked this one - try and catch a DVD of Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi.. worth a watch for every univ kid with a dream. It's set around the emergency and a lot of its in English, so it'd be a nice one to watch with the team leaders when they arrive. (They'll understand without the interpreters and they get a nice history lesson too!)
Besides... the acting's bloody brilliant!
