'Parineeta' adapted from Saratchandra Chatterjee's classic novel of the same name is truly a labour of love. The love and passion that has gone into its making is clearly visible. It is a love story set in the 60s and beautifully told. Director Pradip Sarkar couldn't have thought of a more suitable cast. It's just perfect!

Saif Ali Khan is exactly like the character, Shekhar. He is a rich man's son and lives a comfortable life. He pursues his love for music. He plays the piano. Girish (Sanjay Dutt) is a hero who has made it on his own after going through difficult patches in his life. So true to Dutt's life. Vidya Balan (Lolita) is the typical Indian woman - breathtakingly beautiful and with lot of passion, love, empathy, and strength.

'Parineeta' is Shekhar and Lolita's love story. They are childhood friends and have been very close ever since Lolita comes to live at her maternal uncle's house (Shekhar's neighbours) when she is orphaned. She has a cousin, Koyal (Raima Sen). The two sisters develop a deep bond and so do Shekhar and Lolita. She means everything to him and does everything that a wife or girlfriend would, right from drawing the curtains of his room in the morning to finding the right shirt for him.
