Meri Pyaari Bindu Reviews

But to keep us interested in this construct of a ditsy, selfish, flighty, confused female lead for two hours and more becomes an exercise in patience, because Bindu herself isnt interesting enough.

Meri Pyaari Bindu is a whimsical look at youthful ambition and the urge for freedom. The lead characters nurture opposing approaches to life and yet they get along like a house on fire.

Everything that I dislike about Bindu could also be used to her advantage in creating an unapologetic, compulsive attention seeker.

There are moments and sequences in the film that are moving and funny and quietly heartbreaking. But those are few in an overlong film that never quite finds its groove. I'm going with two out of five for Meri Pyaari Bindu.

This film about the eternalness of first love has its moments - the nifty use of a few old hits such as Meri Pyaari Bindu and Sapno Ki Rani - and is laden with nostalgia (Dear old Rs 500 note, how we miss you) but unlike those…

Meri Pyaari Bindu is just about okay. If you wish to escape the summer heat outside or are seeking help in falling asleep, this film is a great option. However, you'll come away loving Parineeti Chopra's performance.

Meri Pyaari Bindu is unfortunately not what you have been waiting for. Its a love story but the love, frankly, eluded me.

Overall, while the film is interestingly told and is engaging, the last scene, though it talks about a happy ending, unsettles the purist.

Nostalgia is one of the strongest characters in Meri Pyaari Bindu, but it's unlikely that the target audience for this kind of frothy romcom would warm up to that, and those who would are perhaps seeking more heft.

Meri Pyaari Bindu is watchable but don't expect the quintessential Bollywood romance. If you are into slow paced films, this one might excite you.

While the nostalgic references will ensure smiles keep making fleeting appearances on your face, the film won't quite make you root for the characters.

It's breezy, but mediocre that fails to use the potential of the premise though inspired into a beguiling rom com.

This movie has its moments. Scenes featuring classic numbers like Mere sapno ki rani from Aradhana and Meri pyaari bindu from Padosan are superb. The seamless mix of comedy, romance and drama is fantastic too.

With an all new fresh pairing of Ayushmann and Parineeti, fantastic songs, good story-line and lots of funny moments, the film deserves a watch this weekend.

While nostalgia can be a great cinematic tool, one wonders how much the current generation can relate to it...

Rating: 1.5/5 Stars (One and half stars) Star Cast: Parineeti Chopra, Ayushmann Khurrana, Aparajita Adhya, Abish Mathew, Malvika Sitlani, Prakash Belawadi, Rajatava Dutta Director: Akshay Roy

Meri Pyaari Bindu is that rom-com that doesn't offer much new, but it still engages, entertains and makes you sob for you remembered that one heartbreak that took your faith in relationships away from you.

The movie as a whole skirts the corny territory too. Its the simplest rom-com plot: Boy meets girl.
