    Will make you feel nostalgic and yearn for those long gone times

    This movie will take you down the memory lane, leaving tears in your eyes. Ayushmann and Parineeti nail their roles. The emotions and moments were very real, probably one of the most realistic movies in Bollywood. Wish it came out on a different date though, so that it could've gotten the love it deserves.Overall and excellent film that made me think about the good old days that are now long gone & people who I might never meet again, of whom I only have memories left now. Watch it for the nostalgia trip, the story, the performances and Parineeti's amazing singing! It will melt and break your heart into pieces.

    It will give you a Tight Nostalgia Memory, which you can definitely relate! If you ever Fell in Luv or had a Crush on anyone long back in 80s/90s Era!

    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.

    Realistic, Highly Relatable, Sad & Heartbreaking

    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!

    "Meri Pyaari Bindu" might be the long lost cassette you might be searching to play and listen to after all these years.

    It is a well directed movie. It is engaging because of the narrative. The complex tale of feeling of love has been brought out beautifully. The songs sound even better with the narrative. The feeling of 'happy pain' lingers through even after the movie gets over, you shall know why. Ayushman and Parineeti, along with others have done a great job. Nothing has been overdone in this story. Even though one wishes an alternate ending, one knows it is quite a realistic take. Despite the liberty that the story writer has to kindle a ray of hope at least on the silver screen,this time the path taken does so but also says that it might just not go according to one's plans, for reasons good or bad. The best part is love as it looks to be the connecting point, sometimes becomes the very reason for the loved one's departure. One doesn't know if Bindu loved Bubla less or she just couldn't live a certain situation of it. Nothing is certain. People move on in real life too, and it is a conscious decision to do so, others stay with it. Some love stories are better preserved,than touched and lived by for over the years, they are destined to be like that. It is pristine that way. The constant feeling of certain kind of immense bonding between Bindu and Bubla resonates throughout the story and it is lovely. The bond undefined and unnamed is the best part. It is love of a certain kind, let's not go into working our ways through platonic love and all that, let's just not. This is love andit works. It is painful, it still is worth all the effort.

    'Meri Pyaari Bindu' belongs to a forgotten era where love used to happen over a cup of coffee, shared biryani and recorded audio cassettes...

    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.
