Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

jahangirhussain74 Parinda is a mind blowing film about the underworld. In fact, Parinda is not only about the underworld. It's also about the human emotions and conflicts that rule their lives. The story revolves around Kishan (Jackie Shroff) who takes to the path of crime in order to support his younger brother Karan (Anil Kapoor). Kishan works for Anna (Nana Patekar) who rules the underworld with an iron fist. He is a pure devil who has no regrets or remorse in killing people and whoever dares to cross his path will only meet with one fate- death. Things take a turn for the worse when Karan learns about Kishan's illegal activities and about his involvement with Anna. Karan proves a real threat to Anna and Anna is hell bent on eliminating Karan who dared to challenge him. However, Anna is also torn between Kishan and Karan as Kishan is his most loyal protégé. How Kishan tries to thwart Anna's plans and what happens to Karan and his ladylove Paro (Madhuri Dixit) forms the crux of the story.Parinda is a brilliantly made film. Vidhu Vinod Chopra succeeds in keeping us hooked with the dramatics and what goes on in the underworld. Chopra definitely knows that people don't like movies made on the crime world. So, he perfectly balances both the underworld scenes and the emotional scenes. The dialogues are praiseworthy. No preaching or overused lines. In fact, this film is the most real picture of the underworld. In a nutshell, Parinda is a masterpiece. In a film like this, performances have to be first-rate in order to captivate the audience's attention. Nana Patekar takes the cake here as he gives a brilliant performance as the hardheaded, merciless underworld leader. Nana gives the correct nuances of a don and his coldness is displayed with brilliance by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Jackie Shroff gives his career-best performance after Hero. He is very likable in the emotional scenes and his turmoil in trying to keep his brother away from his crime life is well etched by him. Anil Kapoor is good in a smaller role. In a film dominated by men, only an actress like Madhuri Dixit can hold her own. She is immensely likable in all her scenes with Anil Kapoor and her scenes more than provide a relief to the viewer after some heavy scenes in the film. Anupam Kher is okay in a shorter role. Suresh Oberoi is good. There are only four songs in this movie and they are neatly placed. Neither do they hinder the progression of the story. Overall, Parinda is a must watch for those who love realistic cinema. It's a breath of fresh air from the usual 80s Bollywood masala films.

himanshu-tushar6 the movie revolves the authenticated mafia & the culprits in Mumbai. In this move we can say the producer makes the film so interesting the love triangle & bonds of friendship & ties of blood. the movie released on the year 1989 same year when a movie rocks the nation. the movie gotta "A" certificate for the violence & sex . I remember the movie so long time because it was not a trashy movie. but the hot smooches & then hot sex scene between the leading characters stops u t see it on the front of family viewing. but the movie is excellent for viewing the mature nature person & got a cult classic on it's time . the whole movie is not for forget.

Arslan Khalid 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

milind There are so many films made on underworld.The best amongst them are (not rated) Satya, Parinda, Ardh Satya and Hathyar(directed by J.P.Dutta).All the others are just spoofs of Deewar. This movie , although has a predictable screenplay, has the best and the most sensible climax of a hindi movie. To reveal anything else would be criminal. Watch this movie at any cost.
