Parineeta [2005]

To get to the end, we have to go back to the beginning, with Aradhana.

The train that Saif Ali Khan rides during the folk song Kesto Mazza Hai Railaima is the same one his mother, Sharmila Tagore, rode in Aradhana.

As Saif remembered the woman of his dreams and the train meandered across the hills, cinematographer Natarajan Subramaniam's camera provided some vintage shots of Darjeeling.

And that won half the battle for Pradeep Sarkar's cinematic adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's 1914 novel. Performances by the lead actors, Saif, debutante Vidya Balan and Sanjay Dutt, won the other half of the battle.

D Tour: The film was chosen among 15 debut works for the 2006 Berlin Film Festival.

It also won many awards, including the National Award (Best First film) and three Filmfare awards.
