Lafangey Parindey (transl. Cheeky Birds) is a 2010 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Pradeep Sarkar and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. The film stars Neil Nitin Mukesh and Deepika Padukone in lead roles and blends elements of romance, sports, and resilience. Partially inspired by the 1978 American film Ice Castles the narrative follows a blind roller skater and a street fighter whose lives intertwine in the gritty underbelly of Mumbai. Released theatrically on 20 August 2010, Lafangey Parindey received mixed reviews for its performances, soundtrack, and emotional core, while some criticism was directed toward its pacing and screenplay. The film marked Sarkar's second directorial collaboration with Yash Raj Films following Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (2007). In parallel with the film's release, Indian software developer ASTPL launched a mobile video game based on the film's skating and boxing themes.
