Parineeta

Pradeep Sarkar, India, 2005
1.5 out of 4 stars

Utter shit! I’m probably really being unfair to Bollywood, but I think I need more comedy in films like this. Pure melodrama is just too much. That, and perhaps it doesn’t really work in a quiet theater (this was part of the so-called Riverside International Film Festival), and you need audience response with your friends to make it fun. Whatever the case, I found this to be much less entertaining than Mohabbatein or especially Main Hoon Na, both of which I saw last year. Even the music wasn’t as good!
