Parzania [Movie Review 01]


Ever wondered what it's like to lose a loved one in the midst of riots? Not know whether they're alive or dead?

Parzania, the tale of a Parsi family trapped in the midst of the riots in Gujarat, is a must-watch. The gore and raw violence are intensely real and shakes the viewer thoroughly. However, the performance of the actors is not up to the mark; especially Naseeruddin Shah, who was a tad bit disappointing. But Parzania hits the heart, and hits hard imparting a very genuine 'feel' to the burning hatred. Half the theatre shedding tears was well justified. Although some facts appear biased, even distorted, the message delivered is crisp - NO to riots.

Naseer's performances have been disappointing for a long time now. He's thoroughly jaded, and he makes no bones about it... can't even pretend. sad.

But yes, heard a lot about Parzania. been meaning to see it.
