Pestonjee- how i see it
22 October 2006
I have always enjoyed pestonjee primarily because i have myself lived in Karachi where exists a sizable parsee community. the film has been brilliantly made and th locations are so reminiscent of parsee culture that i tend to float back into the realm of 70s when the time was pure and there was always time for other people. however if acting is to be considered then i must say that Anupam kher and Kiran Kher both failed miserably. i understand Kiren but Anupam was the main lead and could never once speak the way Parsees do. on the other hand Shabana came out great followed by Naseer.what is even more wonderful is how in 1988 the period that is much before the actual has been created. i also find starkling similarity between the parsee culture in Bombay and the same i have seen in Karachi. many congratulation to the entire team that worked in the making of the film.
