This Parineeti-Ayushmann Romance Is Plain Boring
Debutant Akshay Roy directs Meri Pyaari Bindu and I�d say he has some learning to do since this debut won�t be a smashing one. If you have watched the Marathi film Ti Sadhya Kay Karte that released recently, there are chances that you find minor resemblances to this film.(more)

Movie Review
Akshay Roy makes his debut with MERI PYAARI BINDU. While his direction is strictly okay, it�s the lack of a taut screenplay which majorly hampers his direction. Despite all the glitches in the film, Akshay Roy manages to sail his way through the film. The film�s first half is interesting, breezy and sunny, which will have everyone take an instant liking to it. The tempo of the first half is fast paced and in sync with today�s times, making one will feel connected with the proceedings. It�s the second half however that crashes the film like a pack of cards. - See more at: http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/meri-pyaari-bindu/critic-review/#sthash.MVyNlfr2.dpuf(more)

Ayushmann Khurrana, Parineeti Chopra try but can�t make us feel
As befits a Yashraj production, everything else is in place. Much of it is set in Calcutta, before it became Kolkata, and Bubla�s large, loving, boisterous carrom-playing Bengali family is spot on. When you hear the lilting �jeebone ki pabo na� playing in the background, you smile, because well, how many times have you plucked out that song on a guitar and sung along if you have lived with that kind of family, or friend?(more)

Movie Review
The movie as a whole skirts the corny territory too. It�s the simplest rom-com plot: Boy meets girl. He climbs a tree into her room, childhood tricks turn into grown-up troubles and somewhere along the line, friendship jumps the fence. Existential crises, circumstantial woes and physical distance are placed at regular intervals and love is made to run this hurdle race.(more)

Meri Pyaari Bindu relapses into stupidity
In Dum Laga Ke Haisha, it was successfully explored to delve inside a disgruntled guy�s escape from mundane reality. But summoning retro to camouflage lazy writing and blandly iterate a widely acknowledged fondness for RD and Bappida�s timeless melodies is not only a great disservice to these greats but also our fond memories of a simpler era. In the absence of nuance, all the gadgetry and dialogues overdosing on pop culture references beginning with the film�s title, are akin to the umpteen frames and furniture littering its two main characters� rooms. While it doesn�t say much about their sloppy personalities, it sure reflects the messy state of Akshay Roy�s directorial debut written by Suprotim Sengupta. (more)

Ayushmann, Parineeti in a love story that lacks passion
The director, nonetheless, must be applauded for bringing the 80s Kolkata and current-day Mumbai on to the screen with the minutest of details. From the signature Goddess Durga idol overshadowing people to the property brokers of Mumbai advising a single girl that landlords prefer to rent out flats to a married woman.(more)

This nostalgia-laden romance fails to strike the heart
Director Akshay Roy is left with an overdose of nostalgia in a few memorable moments and episodes rather than a thoughtful, engaging narrative. It starts out all hunky-dory as Abhimanyu and Bindu meet as kids. The relationship gradually evolves into Abhimanyu following his childhood crush all throughout college, seeming like a 'chamcha' in process. Eventually the two part ways and move through Australia, Mumbai, Goa and back to Mumbai. The constantly changing geographic coordinates may give a sense of time but also rob the viewers of an ability to connect with the two and their story. (more)
