SCOOP!! & NEWS Parineeta mesmerizes!11th June 2005 00.30 IST By Nitika Desai Director Pradeep Sarkar’s celluloid adaptation of Bengali author Sarat Chandra Chatterjee’s Parineeta leaves you mesmerized. Having a gripping literary story at a movie’s base only puts more onus upon the director and the actors to justify a well-presented adaptation from book to the big screen. And director Pradeep Sarkar and the actors – Vidya Balan , Saif Ali Khan and Sanjay Dutt – deserve an acknowledgement for making a film that remains with you even when it is over. 
Set in the Bengal of 1960s, Parineeta is primarily a simple story of human emotions. Central to the story is the character Lolita (Vidya), an orphan who grew up in her uncle’s house. In her neighborhood lives Shekhar (Saif), her childhood friend. The love between the two is unspoken and often expressed in metaphors. But Shekhar’s scheming father has plans to usurp the property of Lolita’s uncle. And when his plans almost seem succeeding, comes in Girish (Sanjay Dutt), a London-based businessman who bails Lolita’s uncle out of financial crisis. Compared to the impulsive and erratic Shekhar, Girish is a self-assured man of pragmatism and calm composure. As he begins to make a place in Lolita’s heart, the jealous side of Shekhar comes to the fore. His jealousy and suspicions often find an aggressive expression. The result is a rift between the lovers. But the emotions that have been stifled keep simmering until they boil out in the climax of this story. Newcomer Vidya Balan and Saif Ali Khan capture the emotional complexities and nuances of the two central characters well enough. Balan has a remarkable range of facial expressions and there is not a single scene in the movie when you can catch her acting. She is natural. Saif Ali Khan deserves no less praise for his sensitive, underplayed performance. Sanjay Dutt exudes warmth and maturity befitting his character Girish. Dia Mirza and Raima Sen play their roles with conviction. And last but not the least, the movie’s director Pradeep Sarkar and producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra must be complemented for capturing the essence of Chatterjee’s story despite taking a few cinematic liberties.
