It's been a while since I listened to a single song on loop. The one that I frequently go back and listen to on a loop is 'Madno' (which I have posted here).
Now, I have one other song that has snatched that much coveted place in my playlist. :-) And the song is *drumroll* (or rather *soulful sitar*) 'Maana ke hum yaar' from Meri Pyari Bindu.
When 'Meri Pyari Bindu' was released, I did not think too much of the song 'Maana ke hum yaar' which was promoted as Parineeti's first singing break. Recently a colleague of mine, whose tastes in movies reflect mine most of the time, said that she liked the movie and that it was nice and different. Also, I mostly like the movies that Ayushmann Khurrana chooses, so I decided to check it out (on Amazon Prime).
I really liked the movie! The bittersweet romance, the songs of old on which the movie revolves and the protagonist reminisces, the cinematography, the lovely character portrayals of the parents/society but mostly that of Abi and Bindu - so humane, so faulty, so impulsive yet so rooted, all made for a good watch. Both the leads have acted very nicely too.
Also I absolutely loved the ending - its not a traditional 'happy ending', but its so mature and not like the usual drama we see on screen. Speaking of the ending, it was a genius move to have the song 'Maana ke hum yaar' play at the very end. The timing, the picturization, the music, the soulful singing of Sonu Nigam (who doesn't sing often in Hindi movies anymore, so was so glad to hear him) and Parineeti (not bad either) and the lyrics - all just makes it beautiful! Kudos to the director and the team!
It is a perfect ending in its own way - makes you smile while probably shedding a tiny tear or two.
So here is the song for your daily dose of soufulness!
You can also listen to it completely, on Saavn.
