By Taran Adarsh, August 20, 2010 - 17:10 IST  Sometimes, your
reputation precedes you. Pradeep Sarkar carries the reputation
of making women-centric movies. Films like PARINEETA and LAAGA
CHUNARI MEIN DAAG prove it. Who would've ever thought Sarkar
would do a 360 degree turn in his third film by calling it
LAFANGEY PARINDEY, set it in a chawl and make his characters
speak tapori lingo? Hard to digest, isn't it? Frankly, the
skilled storyteller takes you on a trip least expected from him.
When you attempt something you haven't attempted earlier or
ventured into before, you either fall flat on your face or walk
with your chin up in air. Sarkar doesn't slip, although LAFANGEY
PARINDEY does have its share of hiccups that show up
intermittently. Unlike PARINEETA and LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAG,
Sarkar narrates a simple story this time around and though it
has nothing to do with the Rajesh Khanna - Mumtaz - Meena Kumari
starrer DUSHMUN, you can't help but draw parallels with it,
which, frankly, could be a coincidence
