Parinda
The Most Powerful Film Ever Made
Directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions
A dark crime drama centered on the tragic collision between two brothers—one drawn into Bombay's underworld, the other trying to escape it—exploring loyalty, corruption, and the inescapability of circumstance.
Brothers Kishan and Karan grow up in Bombay. Karan soon leaves to study in America while Kishan enters into a life of crime, falling under the sway of Anna Seth, a drug lord. When Karan returns to Bombay, Kishan intends to keep him as far away from his criminal life as possible, but things don't go as planned.
