Parineeta

A young girl, Lolita. Orphaned at an early age, she is sent to live with her uncle's family where destiny introduces her to a young boy: Shekhar, a budding musician, a son of an affluent businessman. Together, through childhood and adolescence, Shekhar and Lolita share joys and sorrows, fond memories and bittersweet experiences. And unknown to them, a relationship of deep friendship and trust takes place. It is an unspoken right they hold over each other that metamorphoses into a love so intense, they do not even see it coming. It takes the arrival of an outsider, Girish, for them to discover their true feelings for each other. The chemistry between Lolita and Shekhar sizzles and sparkles, till it explodes. But fate has something in store for them. Greed, deception and malicious intent are waiting to plague Lolita and Shekha'rs deep and innocent love. Events twist and turn beyond their control, spin around them in a maze of suspicion, misunderstandings, and exploding tempers…till even their love cannot stop them from being torn apart. Can true love conquer these insurmountable obstacles, or will it succumb to them? Will Lolita and Shekhar be forever swept apart by these tumultuous events or can they fulfill their destiny and come back together?

  Too fast for me
  
  If you are not a speed reader you will find this film difficult. So much of the plot is in the conversation, which is so rapid, that half of the film is missed... read more »
