Meri Pyaari Bindu (transl. My Dear Bindu) is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film written by Suprotim Sengupta and directed by Akshay Roy. Produced by Maneesh Sharma under the Yash Raj Films banner, it stars Parineeti Chopra and Ayushmann Khurrana in lead roles. The narrative follows Abhimanyu, a pulp fiction writer, as he reflects on his evolving, bittersweet relationship with his childhood friend and aspiring singer, Bindu.
The film marked Roy's directorial debut and featured music composed by Sachin–Jigar, with lyrics by Kausar Munir. Principal photography took place in Kolkata and Mumbai, with cinematography by Tushar Kanti Ray and editing by Shweta Venkat Mathew.
Released theatrically on 12 May 2017, Meri Pyaari Bindu received mixed-to-positive reviews. Critics praised its concept, soundtrack, and lead performances, particularly the chemistry between Chopra and Khurrana, while the narrative structure and pacing received criticism. The film emerged as a commercial disappointment, grossing ₹17.7 crore (US$2.2 million) worldwide against a reported budget of ₹22 crore.
At the 63rd Filmfare Awards, the film received two nominations: Best Lyricist (Kausar Munir for "Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin") and Best Female Playback Singer (Monali Thakur for "Khol De Baahein").
