We have all been a witness atleast, if not a participant, to a One-sided love affair.
The 90's we grew up in saw us dwell and succumb to its feeling.
Remember the tape-recorders with the cassettes? The varied songs with their "apni-waali-haalat"lyrics? Truly Nostalgic.
Yes. MERI PYAARI BINDU makes you nostalgic. Not only this, it charms you, moves you and gets you smiling all the way through.
Surely, it offers nothing new. "Pyaar ke baare mein naya kya likhoge", voices Parineeti to Aayushmann. But the mere warmth that PYAAR exudes is enough for us. And the film has a lot of it. Genuine warmth and touching scenes.
The film celebrates the feeling of being in love. The feeling of helplessness, the feeling of being and acting stupid, the charm of innocence, the joy of seeing your loved one happy.
But most importantly, it celebrates holding onto the long-gone love, not letting it go and being comfortable with it. Staying with it even if it is not yours.
I liked it. Chances are that you might like it as well.
