A character-driven mellermeller that's a treat for the eyes, with performances to match, Parineeta is high-end Bollywood near its best.
I have to say this movie has such lovely music. A very interesting story line, a great depiction of love lost and found. I find that the best love stories are always found in plots such as "the friendship-turn-love". Great!! Vidya Balan is phenomenal and so is Saif Ali Khan!
