dangermousieMy favorite Bolly movie of the year (and one of my faves this year, period) is finally out on DVD. I bring beautiful sexy screen captures (originally from zulm.net). Since I've written enough about it for VVC to pay me a publicist's salary, I've decided to just quote the capsule review from radiotimes instead of summarizing it yet again:
Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's poetic prose comes to life in Pradeep Sarkar's adaptation of Parineeta. This well crafted and spectacularly made love story exemplifies the stern determination Indian culture demands of the relationship between men and women. Saif Ali Khan plays Shekhar, the son of an affluent businessman whose deep friendship with neighbour Lolita (Vidya Balan) ignites with the arrival of outsider Girish (Sanjay Dutt), culminating in a tale of sentiment, betrayal and sacrifice. The literate script, rich colour schemes and wonderfully energetic song-and-dance set pieces evolve naturally from Sarkar's splendid tale. Khan brings his usual instinctive grace and gut-wrenching emotion to Shekhar, a budding musician beset by the complexities of an intense relationship, but it's newcomer Balan who really catches the eye, playing the love-stricken orphan to phenomenal effect.
Go watch! It's got 60s style, and angst, and really good music, and it's actually intelligentand I fangirl Saif Ali Khan.

Double yum:
