Review of Parinda

Parinda (1989)
9/10
A vidhu vinod chopra masterpiece
6 June 2015
I was a 10 year old back then and a huge anil kapoor/jackie shroff fan at the time....

This movie just shook me up and scared the hell out of me. It was the sheer horror of reality sinking in... what life can do to the underprivileged and how circumstances can sometimes test relationships...relationships between brothers...

Nana Patekar was terrifying as the gangster with his own personal demons...yet if we see him...he is the mentor we see in todays corporate world or any world should i say...

There is not one but many memorable set pieces that can be called cinematic brilliance from Mr. Vinod Chopra in his true element....

The songs were beautifully shot, stirred the soul, yet you could feel the darkness lurking around.. somewhere ...in the sequence of events to come..

I always felt and still feel that this movie was way ahead of its time....I am a bit surprised to see an average rating of 8 for such a movie considering the background of Indian cinema at the time, the kind of crap Indian audience is fed in present times... this movie still holds true in modern day era....

wish we had more such movies....
