I've seen a few gangster films in my life time which have done pretty well but this has to go down as one of the original and classic gangster flicks in Bollywood. You can tell its a film directed by VVC with the background score so similar to 1942 Love Story. Anil is first rate and steals the show, especially when he turns serious. Jackie is awesome, and I am a massive fan of his work in this film. There isn't much scope for Madhuri in this role, but she fulfils it perfectly. Nana Patekar plays his role to perfection, so much that you start to hate him and are happy to see him die at the end!

Parinda is the first Professionally directed Indian gangster movie. Vidhu Vinod Chopra has directed a Excellent Powerful realistically made gangster film with Class. The film was nominated and won several awards including Best Actor Jackie Shroff and Best Supporting Actor Nana patekar. Jackie Shroff gives a Powerhouse performance and deserved the Only Best Actor Award he has won. I wasn't much fan of Jackie films apart from Hero and Allah Rakha. After watching this movie I was very impressed. Anil Kapoor gives us a Great performance. Nana Patekar in another Powerhouse performance as the crazy Gangster in one of his Best roles ever. Parinda has the in famous sex scene with Anil and Madhuri Dixit looking Hot as ever. Bollywood rarely had Love making scenes but it didn't stop this movie from becoming one of the Best Indian Gangster films of all time. Must See
