Piku



Its a beautiful film , simple and very well made. And even though we are still in first half of the year , its probably the best . Just like Queen from last year. At no point it lets you loose interest and makes sure that you have a smile throughout the film , while occasionally making you burst into laughter.


Deepika hasn't looked this better before . As a devoted daughter, this is her best performance so far . You can feel her pain and frustration and can relate to many of them. We all have gone through them as sons and daughters. With due respect to my late Grandfather , Amitabh Bachchan's character made me remember him with a smile . Could relate to many his habits. The "I am always right" , "Your generation does not know anything" and "I love you but I am highly critical person" smile emoticon


Coming to the theme of the movie, Constipation, images from the past, just flash before you . All of us had friends who had this 'emotional' issue and would make you remember those mornings when they would hold on to their 'Sutta' and wait for their 'right' moment .


A loving daughter, an old man as a child , a man looking for solace , and a Journey across North India ...makes you pack your bags and go on a Trip with your family. Haven't done it in long time. Now its a wish. All the characters stay with you even after the end credits roll on the screen. You feel a sense of time well spent. Credit goes to the director to mesmerize you with simplicity. The beauty of little innocent moments of life.


Don't miss it.
