Speaking about the restored and remastered release, Vidhu Vinod Chopra shared, “ Parineeta has always held a special place in my heart. It’s more than just a film—it’s a journey of love, elegance, and soulful music. Every frame carries its own emotion, evolving with the story in a way that touches something deep within.” 

Vidya Balan, who made her debut with Parineeta, said, “This is a very emotional moment for me. Parineeta is where it all began… I owe so much of who I am as an actor to this film. Even after all these years, people remember the film, the songs, and how it made them feel. People say every frame in the film is like a painting…and that is Pradeep Sarkar’s magic… So I do hope people and the new generation discover old-world love through Parineeta."
