Old wine in Refreshing New Bottle
Parineeta is a lesser known Sarath Chandra classic , the more famous one being Devdas. But one can find many similar shades between the two stories. Small town Boy and Girl being neighbours, childhood friends, Rich Boy Poor girl, grow up to love each other....The difference being while one ends up in tragedy, the other has a happy eneding.
This movie has brilliant performances from the lead actors. Sanjay Dutt breezes past in his role as a chic bachelor. New find Vidya Balan typifies the girl next door while looking extremely comfortable in her first film. The surprise package is Saif Ali khan who has finally come of age and proves that he can do roles other than constantly portraying a metrosexual peter pan.
Brilliant music and after a long time melody returns to the screen in bollywood without much use of synthesised music, though the jazz number is straight lift.
Vidhu Chopra has gotten back to his ways of providing good entertainment after a spate of horrible movies. Though he hasnt directed this one himself, his style is evident in the soft focus shots.
If one overlooks the 'put on' Bengali accent, this is an overall 'feel good' movie which does justice to this classic piece of Sarath Chandra's literature -

Elegant, high-quality Bollywood
I avoided watching this after it arrived for a few days, thinking it would be depressing (on the order of Devdas). I was pleasantly surprised. Not over-the-top like many Bollywood films, but still colourful; the quieter feel allows you to become emotionally interested in the characters rather than simply dazzled in the spectacle. Also, as it's shorter than a lot of Bollywood, it's a great movie to start your friends on!
