Parineeta

There’s nothing novel about the story, yet the movie doesn’t bore. The simplicity, the music, the //adayein//, the dresses — all are done very well. Though I was a bit surprised that all characters have been shown as Bengalis yet none of them has the slightest accent or even speaks bengali even once in the movie.

The other thing I didn’t like too much was Lolita’s behavior itself. Perhaps the author had meant it to be that way. But I don’t see any good reason why she couldn’t have told Shekhar the truth herself?
