I should rate this movie 7.5 overall, but since only INTEGER is allowed I have set my score as 7/10.
Though, there are some occasions, where the movie scores a definite 10/10, all kudos for Vidya Balan. She was remarkable in the film, in fact the best of the actors in the movie. She had to be as whole story was centered with her, so it was very important for the actress to come up to a superlative standard in acting. and oh boy, she made it wonderfully. That's call a finish. Well, she deserves to send few copies of the movie to our so-called Miss Worlds and Miss Indias, who are still trying to stand on one foot in acting. Moreover, she was a remarkable resemblance with yesteryear's Madhavi Mukherjee, the awesome star cast actress of Ray in his movies. She exactly fits in with the Bengali lady, with her eyes, hairs, skin color...this had to be important in keeping with the original novel by Chatterjee! Very well picked up by Vidhu Chopra, and never did it occur she was a débutante!
Shantanu Moitro, really he mesmerized the film score with his wonderful, superfluous and age-balanced music! And when the famous Tagore's song (personally my favorite) played with the piano by Shreya and Sonu, I was lost into oblivion! This shows again, what the oldies can bring in to the glory of a film! And for the one song at Molin Rouge by Sunidhi, was awesome too. It reminded me of the years when we use to spend evenings at Moulin Rouge! No city in India can give the flair, what the famous Park Street has. I think both Shreya and Sonu deserves a National award as best Playback singers!
Vidhu Chopra always came up with wonderful movies, this time with Pradeep Sarkar, the duo showed what Chatterjee's novels depict and deserve, DEVDAS was really poor in standards compared to PARINEETA. The screenplay was very well balanced with the original novel.
Both the actors, Saif and Sanjay deserves accolades, but not a perfect 10/10, like Balan. Sanjay should have been made looked a bit younger and Saif should have been more focused on and more free! Sabyasachi, according to his standards, was under cast in the film.
But all was going perfectly well till the last 15mins arrived! Same old story, everything was again made melodramatic. It seemed to me that everyone associated with the film either lost concentration or was suddenly pulled by the Bollywood-tides! To be best, you can't relax, and a film like this, which was so wonderful till the last 15 minutes, made me feel very sad. That's the reason my score line for the movie dropped to 7.5!
But still a nice movie to watch. Oh, forgot to tell, the romantic (better I should tell Pre-Love making scenes) was wonderful as the expressions of Balan's eyes was mind-blowing! A good movie should have everything in PERFECT! Well done Vinod-ji, waiting for the next release in summer of 2006.
