Anil Kapoor, who delivered one of his career’s best performance in the film, responded to the tweet and wrote, “Can’t believe it has been 30 years since Parinda released! Join me & VVC films as we celebrate this milestone from today till 3rd November. Stay Tuned!”
Parinda revolves around Kishan (Jackie Shroff), who works for the underworld don Anna (Nana Patekar). When his brother Karan (Anil Kapoor) returns home after completing his studies in the United States, the two brothers find themselves caught on different sides of a gang war after Karan decides to avenge his friend’s death by Anna.
The film received great critical acclaim upon its release and went on to win two National Film Awards and five Filmfare Awards. It was also selected as India’s official selection for the 1990 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but could not make it to the nomination. Starting now until 3rd November, Vidhu Vinod Chopra will be revealing secret details about the making of the film, as well as special scenes from the movie on social media.
