Parineeta is a refreshing cool breeze - it soothes, it takes you to another world, it refreshes you, it makes you forget all your worris and for those 2 and a half hours you get transported to that magical world of charm, beauty, aura and old world sensuousness (Rekha). The movie got a lovely story, the period look is authentic, the heroine and the other girls also are charming (Vidya Balan is excellent as the Bengali girl and nobody can make out that this is her debut movie. She acts like a veteran) and they act so naturally. Saif looks like a pure sophiticated Bengali babu of 60's (dont forget he is a half bengali)and gives a such a spontaneous performance. Sanjay Dutt is also impressive though he looks a little older to his role. Music is really lilting and it lingers in your ears. The only hitch is the wall breaking climax. But that can be pardoned when you assess the movie in overall. I fully agree Parineeta is a must see.
