Parineeta (Hindi: परिणीता, Urdu: پرنیتا, translation: The Married Woman) is a Bollywood musical adaptation of the 1914 Bengali novella, Parineeta by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Directed by debutant Pradeep Sarkar, based upon a screenplay by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the movie featured Saif Ali Khan as Shekhar, Sanjay Dutt as Girish, Vidya Balan as Lalita, and Amitabh Bachchan as the narrator.

Parineeta emerges as an era-evoking love story which captures the eye — and the mind — through three complex characters for who, most importantly, we come to care deeply for.

Lolita (Vidya Balan) is an orphan and Shekhar’s childhood friend cum neighbour. Like Paro in Devdas, she walks the tightrope between egotism and self-respect. She is a giver but is not servile. She is the parineeta (married woman) who wants her husband to claim her, she won’t stake her right as his wife.

Girish (Sanjay Dutt), a big-hearted London-returned bachelor, like Shekhar, loves Lolita. But unlike Shekhar, he is calm and practical.

The lives of these three protagonists crisscross, time and again, because of the machinations of Shekhar’s covetous father Navin Rai. Desirous of moving up the social hierarchy, he is keen to usurp Lolita’s uncle’s property and build a magnificent hotel over it.

But Girish bails out Lolita’s uncle. Infuriated at the snub, Navin Rai engineers a rift between Shekhar and Lolita, whom he dismisses as a ‘whore.’ His trump card — Girish’s unspoken love for Lolita. A jealous Shekhar abandons his beloved music and Lolita, and agrees to a matrimony with Gayatri Tantia (Dia Mirza), the daughter of his father’s business associate.

Vidya Balan could have walked through her role without the aid of dialogue — she has speaking eyes. The girl has range: her eyes flare up like headlights at night when she is angry and are suffused with indulgent softness when she is interacting with Saif. She channels Lolita’s reedy resilience.
