’ describing the thrilling tale of two brothers with a disturbed past.
PLOT:
Set in the tradition of American Western, the story follows the tale of two brothers orphaned at a young age. Buddy, the older brother, naively believes the drug lord Julius Hench, who lies to him regarding the murder of their Sheriff father. Buddy kills the ‘so-called murderer’ and joins Hench becoming his right-hand man.
Jakey, the younger brother, is a violinist auditioning for the New York Philharmonic and on the verge of marrying his Italian girlfriend, returns to his hometown, near US-Mexico border. Returning to the town opens up some unhealed wound and both the brothers are forced to face some ugly truth. Hench suspecting that he might lose Buddy (his most efficient and easily manipulated killing machine) plan to kill Jakey.
Will both brother’s survive it?
ANALYSIS
Chopra perhaps wanted to add some western flavor to the old movie and in the process eliminated everything that was good about the film ‘Parinda’. Chopra has trouble setting the proper tone since the beginning, setting it in some vague period in some one horse town unable to bring the 80’s movie feel.

either. Jakey’s former music teacher (Sean Patrick Flanery), now legless, wheels around his home in what appears to be a motorized desk chair looked absurd too.
VERDICT
All in all, it failed to create the magic that ‘Parinda’ created in the sets!
