Parineeta - a disappointment
#Maybe I had a lot of expectations of it, but the movie was a little disappointing in that things seemed to be going nowhere at most times in the movie. The movie just suddenly ended, and it could be due to massive editing for the American audiences, but whatever be the case, it seemed just abrupt.
The acting was way below par. Sunjay Dutt, of all, seemed to be one who acted well. Saif was a disappointment. People kept saying that this is the role which will break him out of his comedy typecast. Well, he better just stick to comedy.
Vidya Balan has promise. She looks very similar to the Manisha Koirala of 1942 - A Love Story. Similar is features, and similar in dialog delivery and acting. Though she has not much to act. I saw that she has already been cast in another Vinod Chopra production, so her life is sort of set in that respect.
But overall, it was not a bad movie for the 5th wedding anniversary date.
Cheers to the mrs. and me for sticking it out for 5 years. Here’s to many many more!
