Parinda

We near the end of Indian Cinema August with a drastic departure from the month's previous films as it plays in the sandbox of the crime genre: Parinda. Starring Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff as two brothers on different sides of the law, it follows Kapoor's Karan's return to India only to find his brother, Shroff's Kishan, has been supporting him through a life of crime. It's a Mumbai underworld film that still features all the expected tenets of Indian cinema. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins Chris to talk about the heartbreaking film, the musical numbers, and how it fares against others in the genre.
