Review of Parakh

Parakh (1960)
10/10
An excellent family movie, with all the ingredients
24 October 2005
Like any typical Hindi movie this one too has a hero and heroin and a love story, but that is where the similarities end and the movie stops becoming stereotypical. This movie has a real lot to offer. It is amazing. The characters have depth (not cardboard, like most commercial films). The story line is complex, there is humor, drama, mystery, and a beautiful love story all intertwined. The complexities of human behavior are explored in a truly entertaining manner, within the context of a tiny scenic village somewhere in India.

What is more there is a lovely song as well. The mystery letter keeps us on our toes till the end. People when tempted will display their true colors and it the movie reveals it (even if it is black and white). It is wholesome entertainment for family with high school kids.
