Afeemi
from Meri Pyaari Bindu Salutes The Intoxicating Effects of Love
Love is intoxicating,
heady and ensnaring. Afeemi, the latest song from Yash Raj Films’ Meri Pyaari
Bindu encapsulates this classic, evergreen aspect of falling in love. This is
one hangover, that of heady intense love that no one wants to get rid of! Parineeti Chopra as Bindu and Ayushmann
Khurrana as Abhimanyu find their romance bloom
in the city of Mumbai as this mellifluous number plays out.
Kolkata kids who jived to
the carefree Ye Jawaani Teri as college came to a close, the scene now shifts
to Mumbai where both Abhimanyu and Bindu are trying to set themselves up
professionally. In the backdrop of this busy, bustling city, Bindu focuses on
her dream of becoming a singer, and Abhimanyu find the headiness of love in
everyday moments. Beyond grandeur and largesse, Afeemi captures that extra
special feeling of doing small things together, of sharing little moments
everyday which is very easy to relate to. Be it a walk on Marine drive, or
dancing in the rain, or lazing around in bed on a weekend, Afeemi celebrates
love in the simple, everyday moments of life.
To build on the romance
of Bindu and Abhimanyu, director Akshay Roy drew on his own experiences of
Mumbai. He said, “In Afeemi, Abhi and Bindu find love amidst the simpler
pleasures of life. Coming to Mumbai with a bunch of friends, years ago, trying
to make something of our lives in this bustling city, for us it was always
about those smaller joys – our first apartments, coffee shops, Carter road,
long chats into the night about our ‘auditions’ of the day. In Afeemi, I’ve
tried to show Abhi and Bindu’s journey through that ‘outsider’ lens. It’s
something that I’m sure will be relatable for many.”
A heartfelt story that
encompasses the stories of its protagonists over three decades, Meri Pyaari
Bindu presented it’s trailer innovatively- divided up in five chapters over
time. Song composed by Sachin-Jigar, Afeemi is sung by Jigar Saraiya and Sana
Moidutty. Kausar Munir has composed the lyrics. Meri Pyaari Bindu will release
on May 12 across India and worldwide.
