Why I Enjoyed

1. The story is so simple but what makes it special is the no over-the-top acting and the range of emotions the actors convey. You can feel every emotion of the main characters be it happy or sad.

2. Great setting, it's as if you're really in the 1960's.

3. Captivating music. Great selection of songs. Kudos to the composer and playback singers. I watched the movie twice much for this reason.

4. A story with a happy start should also have a happy end because for me watching movies is a form of relaxation and not a source of depression. And Parineeta didn't fail me on this category.

5. This is the fourth movie with Saif Ali Khan that I've watched and one thing I've noticed is his and the playback singer's voice don't have much difference. Sometimes I can almost believe that Saif is the one who really sings.
