Parineeti Chopra opens up about Meri Pyaari Bindu

On the work front, Parineeti Chopra is reuniting with Akshay Kumar for bringing to life the real-life story of the brave mining engineer Jaswant Singh Gill in Mission Raniganj. The actress opened up about the film and her past work as a part of the promotions of the movie, before taking off to Delhi for her marriage with politician Raghav Chadha. During the same, the actress discussed about the YRF romantic drama Meri Pyaari Bindu where she co-starred opposite Ayushmann Khurrana.

Meri Pyaari Bindu, which did receive love for its music, failed to entice the theatre-going audience and failed to get a good response at the box office. However, over time, the film received a lot of love from Bollywood romance drama fans. Opening about the wrong timing of the film, Parineeti told in an interview with Radio Nasha, “Meri Pyaari Bindu released alongside Baahubali and hence did not get love then. But that’s the film that I get the most love for today. And that’s what matters. There are many films like this that don’t make the numbers at that time, but they always find you.”

She further added, “Every film gets its own life somehow. I feel, somewhere or the other, the audience will find it. I don’t think any film goes unnoticed, whether good or bad. There are some films that will not do well at the box office. But for years, people will watch it and it’ll become a cult film. On the other hand, there are films that do really well because they came at the right time but were probably not the best piece of cinema.”

Meri Pyaari Bindu featured Parineeti Chopra in the titular character of Bindu, an aspiring singer. On the other hand, her neighbour Abhimanyu Roy played by Ayushmann Khurrana, falls in love with her and the film traces their journey of friendship, love, breakup, and commitment. The film released on May 12, 2017 whereas a couple of weeks before that, Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia starrer Baahubali: The Conclusion hit the big screens.
