Review of Parinda

Parinda (1989)
9/10
Spectacular

A brilliant, dark movie which got full justice from the acting of the great Nana Patekar. A gripping plot, an eerie background score from the great R.D Burman and to top it off, Nana Patekar delivering one of his finest performances. Although Nana has given many memorable movies, this to me alongside Yugpurush is his finest acting effort. His dialogue delivery is immaculate and so is portrayal of narcissistic killer. Jackie Shroff, whom i feel is a brilliant actor himself also performs marvellously. Anil Kapoor was decent and this was by no means his finest performance. For that one will have to see "Saheb" or "Ram Lahkhan". But a satisfactory job nonetheless as was the case with Madhuri and Suresh Oberoi though someone like Danny Denzongpa may have been a better choice. There were some flaws but heck, nothing is perfect and this movie is a gem. Emotionally charged, eerie and gripping are all effective adjectives to convey the lore of Parinda
