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!

Remade 3 times before 2005, this movie goes on to prove once again the simplicity in Saratchandra's story that has appeal for all generations even after so many years. Vidhu Vinod Chopra has done a wonderful job in developing a memorable screen play. But more memorable are the songs and music in this movie! Sunidhi
