मेरी प्यारी बिंदू

It's a welcome breather from the drudgery of the typical north Indian love stories flushed with clichéd wedding scenes, conventional college boy meets girl plots and loud music force fitted with some Desi rap. The movie marvelously captures the magic of Kolkata through the eyes of Abhimanyu, the warmth of a close knit neighbourhood , the intimacy and casual flirtation among friends typified by the dumb charades scene and the liberal home dynamics where talking about boyfriends or sex for that matter doesn't come attached with a taboo. The plot continues to enthrall now collecting the best moments of a Mumbai life through a series of scenes starting with a Nariman point stroll, late night ruminations sitting at the marine drive with feet dangling precariously over the odd shaped stones, a multicultural bachelor pad fraught with late night pranks on a stunning balcony and an adorable proposal on the cosy streets of Colaba. And finally the climax where Abhimanyu is content with the amazing time spent with this incredible Bengalan and taking the best part of the relationship in his stride before moving on, unlike the vast majority of the audience who take Bindu's rejection of his proposal as a personal insult and a sign of defeat venting out their frustrations in the reviews.

Those who are finding the acting pathetic, please go get a life. She acted much better than Sonam in Neerja. Ayushman was really great, so was everyone else. The Bong family of Ayushman was something with you could easily connect to. The potrail had quite some depth.

After Raanjhnaa, this is the first movie which had some catchy and creative dialogues. Editing is some what of a set back. But the film will never make you want to look at the watch. :D

Towards the end of the movie, Abhimanyu and Bindu keep staring at each other. Living the lives that they chose for themselves or rather, fate chose for them, they lovingly look at each other, ignoring their individual status quo.

That one moment defined the entire film for me.

'Meri Pyaari Bindu' belongs to a forgotten era where love used to happen over a cup of coffee, shared biryani and recorded audio cassettes. It's a bittersweet love story that brings a lump to the throat, yet you never lose that smile from the face. The characters are as real as the next door neighbours. The pain and the anguish that the couple face, is something that everyone can relate to. But the love can only be felt by those, who have loved and lost.

Kudos to Suprotim Sengupta for such exquisite writing.

I watched this movie at the phase of failures in life (not love). I wasn't concentrating on my career and was just hanging around watching movies and stuff. This movie opened my eyes! Most of the things you'd see in this movie, are relatable and many already occured. Talking about this movie, it grips you from the start. The first half is amazing. Ayushmann, once again, did a fantastic job. However, Parineeti, at times, was okay. The movie overall is an emotional and completely realistic journey of a Writer, to which I could relate to a great extent being a Writer too. However, for me, the thing that draws me back a little and makes me think it's heartbreaking and sad is it's end. I know many liked the end too, but I hated it. I hated Parineeti too. The end could have been a lot better although some liked it more. If anyone thinks I'm this poor Writer, hang on. Rating a movie which made you feel sad and depressed won't be something for anyone to judge. You can read my other 40 reviews from my account info in case you're not reading from your cell phone. Yes, I recommend to watch this movie. Above Average!

This Movie is definitely for all those 80s, 90s individuals who started their journey with Audio Cassettes. It belongs to a forgotten era where we Childs/Teens used to call our friends over One common Family Landline number, Listening to Old evergreen songs in Audio Cassettes with the help of Tape Recorders, Listening to the Radios, To Watch Doordarshan Channel with excitements over those long times of Antenna Revolvings to finding Signal. OMG! Wish I had a Timeline to go that Era again and to live those non-internet, non-smartphone life.

This Movie is Musically too good. All the old nostalgia movie dialogues,Evergreen Songs, 90s Era's representation and that too with Bengali touch OMG delighted to watch. I know many people will not like it because of the complexity there at the ending but trust me guys, if you belongs to that Old 90s Era then consider it at least once, You'll re-Live those old memories again for sure.

Ayushmaan Khurana- The Realistic Acting, Those beautiful emotions, Heartfelt Dialogues and his dedication towards Own music is damn good to watch. He Never disappointed me and no doubt he's my no.1 FAVORITE ACTOR in Bollywood Industry.

Pariniti Chopra- She's totally cool in this entire movie. She tried to act like badaas girl and her beauty justified her Acting as well and the Female version of Maana ke hum Yaar nahin, Woow Beautiful voice (Although I liked my Fav Sonu Nigam's version so much, but still female version was also too good to listen) .

I'll go with 7 Out of 10 Stars definitely, because I watched it's reviews over YouTube and non of the movie critics rated it well, that's the reason i was so late to watching this movie, but after watching it I can definitely say 80s/90s people can relate it so well and at least One time Watchable.
