The final trailer for ‘Parineeta’ is out now. The show is a Hoichoi original and will be premiering on the platform on the 15th of August. ‘Parineeta’ is adapted from tbe Bengali novel of the same name by the master novelist Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay himself.
It is one of the most personal stories kf Sarat Chandra. It is often said that ‘Parineeta’, ‘Devdas’ and ‘Shrikanto’ are very similar stories, it is because the personal romantic tragedies of the novelist are deeply imbued within all three of them. There has been multiple adaptations of the story. There was a popular Hindi film in 1953 that starred Ashok Kumar and Meena Kumari in leading roles. One more recent adaptation was the 2005 with actors like Vidya Balan, Saif Ali Khan, Rekha.
The trailer is simple and the show does not seem to have a high budget. But there are comments on the internet that the adaptation is not earnest enough and the makers have made changes to the story. While it is common in literary classics that when they are adapted into some other medium, a lot of controversy comes in automatically. But probably Hoichoi’s ‘Parineeta’ will be able to impress audiences soon.
Gourab Chakroborty looks good in the lead role Shekhar and actress Debchandrima plays the female lead Lalita. The directed by filmmaker Aditi Roy.
The miniseries will tell the story of Lalita and Shekhar, who promise to marry each other in childhood and are estranged for various reasons. When they are reunited, Shekhar grows suspicious of Lalita and also his father tries to convince him out of the betrothal.
If you are a fan of Sarat Chandra’s literary classics, give Parineeta a try on the 15th of August this year.
