It's all pretty organic, and it's finally great to see a film where the protagonists don't just magically fall in love with each other for existing. They're not lovers but there's something special between them. There are lots of old songs: ' Aaiye Meherbaan', 'Abhi Na Jao.', and the music ties everything together.Īs they grow older, and different types of relationships emerge in their lives (girlfriends, boyfriends, 'it's complicated(s)') their relationship stays strong.
It lays the foundation of their crazy, music-filled relationship. The very first time they meet as kids, she gives him a Walkman with an old song and says, "Listen to this, it will change your life". The narrative is peppered with flashbacks about Abhi and Bindu, and then we cut to the present day when Abhimanyu is writing about her, while listening to old songs. Parineeti should really consider singing for herself in all her movies. She's a manic pixie dream girl in the film, and, might we add, a fab singer too. Parineeti (Bindu) is painted through a lens of nostalgia. She's fairly fickle, always wanting to do a million things, although her ultimate dream is to be a singer. As he writes, we find out more about her - we see Bindu, as Abhimanyu does, a voice, singing ' Abhi Na Jao Chhodkar', a girl who is addicted to being the centre of attention. It's complemented admirably by an Amelie-esque background score and sharp dialogues. Through Abhimanyu's (adorably quirky) parents, we find out the reason for his overgrown-beard-and-overall-devdas-demeanour is his very own story of unrequited love. Through his writing, and an introduction into his life (and Bindu's) we see a charming version of Kolkata's old world vibe. We see him drink copius amounts of whiskey and eats bread with ketchup, while he works on a love story. For some reason, however, he's stuck on his latest, which has been three years in the making. He seems to have a great career, with many best-selling books. May be because we eternally wait or long for something or someone to come along and make everything better.Parineeti Chopra and Ayushmann Khurrana in a still from Meri Pyaari Bindu Right from the sangam literature the literature about waiting and missing has its own depth and we relate to such songs much better than other songs. So no translation needed.īut the thing to be noted is both the songs has some soul in it. I hope there is no connection between all these facts but plagiarism is plagiarism right?Īctually it is the same as above. Interestingly Hum Dono tells the story about a military man who goes missing and the trouble his wife goes through while Marian tells the story of a fisherman who goes missing. I was surprised to see that the lyrics is lifted from the first stanza to create Tamil smash hit “ Innum Konja Neram Porutha than enna” Thankfully the two stanzas that followed up in Tamil version was original to the setting of the film. So then it went on like YouTube > Parineeti Chopra work out video > Ishqzaade train scene > Ladies Vs Rickie Bahl > Meri Pyari Bindu trailer > Abhi Na jao chodkar There was this article in which actress Parineeti Chopra said how her childhood was piss poor and she had ‘only’ cycle to go to school and the car they had was used for official purposes. Like how Sherlock explains train of thought, I can explain how I chanced upon this song on a sultry early morning. But so when I was researching I realized when we say one person copied the song from another person, we only talk about the tune and music arrangements. That is for another post and another time.
I was researching about songs and I was wondering how we don’t listen to all the songs in a single film most of the time in the name of creating playlist. Given the reception of such posts, I wanted to jump in the bandwagon too.
Slowly Gils caught up with the trend too. It all started when blogger Pratip wanted to document about the songs or albums which not only had blockbuster numbers but also soulful songs. So there has been a trend going in between Chennai Bloggers.
