Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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

prempujari This movie is chilling reminder of Bollywood being just a parasite of Hollywood. Bollywood also tends to feed on past blockbusters for furthering its industry.Vidhu Vinod Chopra made this movie with the reasoning that a cocktail mix of "Deewar" and "On the Waterfront" will bring home an Oscar. It turned out to be rookie mistake.Even the idea of the title is inspired from the Elia Kazan classic. In the original, Brando is shown as raising doves as symbolism of peace.Bollywood must move out of Hollywood's shadow if it needs to be taken seriously.

usmaneme Although it can't touch the level of Sholay but it does stands in it's own league. The story, the cast, the emotions, fits in all so beautifully. I do doubt that bollywood will be able to ever produce such a movie again. Even though more than 20 years old, it still has not lost it charm, mainly because it is such a brilliant and original idea. Parinda is a benchmark for the gangster/mafia movies.

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.
