Description: **Mitthye Premer Gaan** is a 2023 Indian Bengali musical romantic drama film co-written, produced, and directed by Paroma Neotia. The film features Anirban Bhattacharya, Ishaa Saha, and Arjun Chakrabarty in leading roles.
The story revolves around Avik, a reserved young man in his twenties who sings at a charming bar in Kharagpur. Coming from a modest middle-class family, Avik’s mother is a teacher at a local school for the blind. He struggles with self-doubt and imposter syndrome, torn between his dream of a serious music career and his fears of failure. His upbringing in a dysfunctional family, marked by an absent alcoholic father, has left him wary of both people and ambitions.
Amidst this, Avik secretly writes songs and poetry but hesitates to perform publicly due to the fear of being mocked. His relationship with his stern yet caring mother is complex, and his only close friend is Deb, the bar’s bartender and manager.
Anwesha, a vibrant and outspoken young woman, sees beyond Avik’s exterior and connects with him on a deeper level. She is the first person to genuinely appreciate him for who he is, finding a similarity in their struggles. Their unexpected friendship reveals Avik’s inherent talent for writing and composing impactful music, despite his lack of formal training.
