Mitthye Premer Gaan

Mitthye Premer Gaan

Avik, an introverted loner in his 20s, is a small-time singer at a quaint bar in Kharagpur. Avik comes from a humble middle-class background and his mother teaches at a local blind school. Avik is perpetually conflicted between his dreams of pursuing music seriously and his imposter syndrome and low-self esteem. The fact that he hails from a dysfunctional family and his alcoholic father deserted them when he was young, has also left a deep-seated scar that makes him distrustful of people and ambitions, in general. Avik secretly writes his own songs and poetry but is too scared to sing it in public because he fears being ridiculed for it. He shares a love-hate rollercoaster relationship with his caring but stern mother and his only friend in the whole wide world is Deb, the bar's bartender cum manager. Anwesha is a young, boisterous, feisty, practical and extremely witty loudmouth who wears her heart on her sleeve. Anwesha soon realizes that there's more to Avik than meets the eye and connects with him on a deeper level. She is the first person who appreciates and accepts Avik for who he is, because somewhere deep down inside, she finds a reflection of herself in him. They form an unlikely friendship and Anwesha soon finds out that Avik despite being completely untrained, has a natural flair for writing and composing powerful songs. Aditya- another rising young Indian classical musician, who is incidentally Haripada's favourite disciples and one of Anwesha's closest friends.
