Watched Parab finally. You guys are not ready for this. So it will be long. Parab came out really well. Like really well. I will give you how I felt while watching the movie. The movie is completely different from what it was shown in trailer. The first 10 minute of the movie is spot on. Until the title announcement it felt really good. The movie is the best product of Odisha. It has its flaws but a great product for sure. The landscape captured was amazing. Cuttack -Gajapati, the Jirang shots were really pretty. The pace is slow.... 5 8 replies
