Pareenita

Yesterday I watched Parineeta..hmmm and in short I loved it. I am stilling living
the moments of Parineeta.I have rarely seen any movie twice but this is a kind of a movie
which I am gonna watch for the second time and pay for it as well. It is a beautifully made movie
with every scene,set,sequence,every movment speaking out.I had read the novel writen by
Sarat Chandra Chaterjee in Bengali a long time back. At that time I was smitten by it
with its sensiblities and the description by which the writer had woven the inner turmoil of
the three main characters. In writing its easier to portray the though process of a person
but to bring that in the celluloid is a tough task.When I first saw the promo of the movie in
the television from that day I was waiting for it to be released.And to be frank I was
not disappointed. I was mesmerrized by the poetic lines that the director created with
the scenes.It is simply beautiful.The beauty of Calcutta(sorry Kolkata) is captured
by the camera in the form of the morning of Victoria,the sun set of Hoogly,night by the
bank of Hugly,the phuska(pani-purie). I was really taken back to a age which is a past now.
The director has portayed with agony of the charecters with the use of color and music which
gives the movies a mystic look, fresh as a moring walk in Victora. Vidya Valan in the lead role
is sensible and sweet. She is a woman that every man wants in his life,a fiercly passionate
sweetheart of her lover but also as practical as the Head mistress.I have seen the best
acting of Saif Ali Khan in this movie. And in a short role Sanjay Dutt dizzle. I dont go into details
as u can read it in so many reviews of the movie. But This Is A Must Watch Movie.
wow what a evening it would be with Tash(Cards),Pakoda,your sweetheart and a bet of a
lovely evening and a evening by the side of Hoogly....I miss it :-(
BTW Parineeta means the Complete Woman ( or a married woman)
