Parzania is the non-shoutable pain, unforgettable embedded memories, the love, mapped to a movie, which leaves one sinking with those forgotten thoughts once again.
This is one of the most sensible movies I've seen today, the time is approx 1:30 a.m. and I find myself highly impulsive to write something about it. This is after about 2 years it feels this good about watching a movie, last time it was with Black. Another recent attempt by Nagesh Kukunoor with Dor did enthuse but today's one left the emotions churned thoroughly once again.
It feels so different looking at this, manifestation of leading such a wonderful life with whatever little troubles that we have. I actually feel like giving 10/10 to the director (Rahul Dholakia) for whatever attempt he has made. How troublesome the situations can be, never can be imagined, am sure every normal man with some or the other pain should watch the movie and weigh themselves, if they really have a big problem that can't be undone.
Parzania is shot from the perspective of a middle class, matured, sensible family man/ woman and is inspired by a true incident. Complete narration is in English, although it takes that naturality away which would have come with Hindi, yet it marks the deep impression on mind. I can simply validate coz I could see most of the females around caressing their eyes from time to time, nevertheless, rasika, supriya along with me were no exception in this case.

Central focus of the movie remains the heart wrenching, tragic massacre executed in Gujarat by the Hindus, when all the Hindu(s) flocked together to weigh Muslims on the embarrassment side, butchered them none like the animals. But the series of events that could have led to this big event doesn't seem to be powerful, from the viewer's perspective, although this could be interpreted in a way that the director wanted to keep the melodramatic content away to retain the reality factor and wanted to focus more on to the aftermaths of the event.
Star cast comprises of legendary actor Mr. Naseeruddin Shah a very old time actress Sarika. I've seen her in earlier movies but never ever thought that she could be this good at acting. I somehow feel like she should receive some award for this act and for her exemplary dialogue delivery, which is simply outstanding. Naseeruddin Shah is no way less but am sure Sarika did much better than anybody in the Queue.
There were two flaws I could easily make out, which I believe, should have been made out by any normal person, which makes me think if this movie entered our subcontinent really came after screening all over the globe.
The movie is shot around the Ahmedabad region in Gujarat. A scene captured an auto with CNG written, although am not sure if CNG has already entered Gujarat region, all I know it's still the story of Delhi, am sure this suddenly makes one feel that the movie is still a movie and shot in some local grounds.
In the other scene, when Mr. N. Shah is trying to untangle the dead bodies to confirm if the dead body with the red T-shirt reflects his son only or not. The whole scene looks seriously devastating and scares the weak hearts, the way dead bodies are lying, their burn marks punches several needles at a time through one's heart. In this scene, while he untangles the boy's face, the other boy lying besides has his eyebrows shaking (and its pretty much notable!), which in a fraction of the moment takes away that disappointment, the pain that everyone in the room carries. I personally felt relieved within a moment and came out of the reality that was simulated within my mind. After all its just the acting the makeup is all I thought that moment.
Anyway these are just simple observations, which are really insignificant against the courageous direction that the director has done.
This is a must see, even for those who avoid movies with blood, massacre and all such ingredients. Reality must be seen!
