Saari Raat

After a long time watched a short movie which made an impact with just two characters,simple set and simple conversation between a husband and wife on their first night.This movie so beautifully puts forward the Irony of our Indian society in which women are treated like a body without any mind and soul and to what extent men can be chauvinistic. A commendable job done by Director Parimal Aloke who acted so naturally as a high headed Indian man and the last song in the movie sung by him is so touching. The actress plays the role of a coy bride to perfection showing the helplessness of women in this male dominated society. A BIG THUMBS UP to Parimal Aloke and his team for this movie.

At first glance Saari Raat seemed simple enough. A short film depicting the first night of a bride and her groom. The getting to know phase as I like to put it. It is indeed a simple story and yet the complexities of the characters not so much. The mentality, "its OK for me to do it but not so much for you" is blaringly disturbing and so in your face. Even as I said to myself that this mostly happens only in small towns and not with the educated lot, I knew I was being less than honest with myself. It is a phenomenon that we have witnessed again and again, be it in the cities, with the so called educated or that "phoren return dude". Dir- Parimal Aloke keeps the audience engaged throughout the narrative. The scenes are seamless and the actors have both done an incredible job in portraying the shy bride and her excessively chauvinistic husband. A great effort by Parimal Aloke and looking forward to seeing more of his work

Saari Raat ! the thought of watching a short movie with Parimal being a part of it, was making me excited, I had never been to a short movie screening, my wife was with me ....I didn't know what will be the pace and what is there in store for us in the movie....The movie started and kept on moving at a pretty good pace, it brought a lot of smiles and frequent laughter on our face... it was so simple yet immensely entertaining ....the flow in which dialogues moved, the ease with which both Parimal and Paru took the conversation ahead was worth applauding...The emotions were all there ... the curiosity in the mind of a groom on the first night about the bride was so well depicted... Loved it ... we enjoyed each and every scene, every word they said.. it looked so natural... just like we were peeping into a real life couple's bedroom window...Full marks to Parimal ... Good work buddy ... looking forward to see more such movies from you.... We had a good time watching it.. my best wishes for Parimal for his upcoming ventures ... God bless you ....Ritesh

Saw this film in Florida, USA Found it to be well composed and well played out. I found it fascinating that the inter-play between a man and a woman does not change from culture to culture. A man is raised to think of himself so completely different than what society teaches a woman about self-worth. Parimal played the groom's part teasingly well. His eyes were so full of the self and yet self doubt. His bride was so sad - eager to please and be accepted, selling herself so short and so convincingly. The never ending struggle of two people trying to blend into one. Yet the male having to dominate and the female being fearful for herself and her future. It is a dance that is done everywhere and so few people are willing to see it for what it is. Excellent writing and a work well done. I recommend this film.

Parimal and Paru did amazing job, well done for them!

Congratulations to everyone who worked on the movie set, too!

It's a good display of chauvinism and middle class, small town Indian mentality just like the description says.

The groom wanted to find out more about their respective pasts, the bride was reluctant at first but then she felt curious about her grooms 3 girlfriends.

I highly recommend it, enjoy in watching!
