Meri Pyaari Bindu movie review: Khurana, Chopra go through the motions!

In one of the most crucial scenes of this Suprotim Sarkar written and Akshay Roy directed film, Meri Pyaari Bindu, the hero — an accidental horror story writer — claims penning a horror story is far more challenging than writing a love story!

He is right — even making a love story is far more demanding than weaving an entertaining narrative in any other genre, for the simple reason that the romantic liaison between a boy and a girl has been done to death. And each time, barring a few times you could count on your fingertips, Bollywood has tried making one in the recent past, it has invariably botched up miserably. Not because of nay lack of ideas, but due to unimaginative treatment!

Meri Pyaari Bindu Movie Review: Parineeti Chopra

Meri Pyaari Bindu Movie Review: Parineeti Chopra and Ayushmann Khurrana's film invokes the past of Hindi cinema and its music to string together a genuinely modern urban love story.

Tend to grow on people, the male protagonist preens. In a completely different context, he also admits that nobody's perfect. Both statements could apply equally to Meri Pyaari Bindu, a breezy romantic comedy from the Yash Raj Films stable that is unlike any romantic comedy ever to have come out of the Yash Raj Films stable - or, for that matter, from the Bollywood dream factory as a whole.

Far from being perfect, Meri Pyaari Bindu, written by Suprotim Sarkar and directed by debutant Akshay Roy, hums and haws its way through its initial portions without making too much immediate sense. But about 30 minutes in, the film begins to grow on you as the lead pair strike up a nice, effortless rapport with each other to the accompaniment of a lively slew of memorable Hindi films songs played on a video-cassette player that serves to bind their characters together.
