Thank you all for this insightful commentary. I recently saw "Parineeta" at a press screening for the 24th San Francisco International Film Festival and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see it since my schedule during the festival would not have allowed it. All in all I went with the film though, as Derek Elley states in his "Variety" review, I found the ending "overcooked." Notwithstanding, it was a pleasure to write it up for The Evening Class, wherein I had to mention this informed discussion:

I definitely agree with rest of the bloggers..........parineeta is an absolutely stunning, a movie i hav already watched 3 times and wud definetely not mind watching again....vidhya balan looks like the epitome of indian beauty with not just ravishing looks and attire but also with her ease at the potrayal of a charector that is strong in virtue and charactor ( not a silent sufferer) yet not aggressive ...
I must admit that i was mesmerised by both her beautiful looks and flawless acting skills that i wud vouch that she is the best ardently...but not anymore....after all the other movies she's done....she too looks ordinary to me!
