Watch Piku For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

Fresh and Exciting

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Some people create spark in a jiffy. Shoorjit is one of such directors.There is chemistry and witty scenes in the film.The story is all about the relationship of a father and a daughter.Apart from the love that every story focuses on,this is all about relationships.There are things that we should care about and balance in our life.The name Piku is chosen wisely.The locations are taken thoughtfully. The stars shine without much glamour.It's an unbelievable creation that makes us gasp for more.Irrfan has good role and is a very good human being.He is also a loyal owner of a cab service. Through the story,the relation from a cab driver changes to a person in family.The guest appearances contribute a lot in the movie.It also shows ideally how a lady is sidelined for the fact that she is not married or not dating anyone. THe movie poses a question-"Does settling in life means marriage?".Why can't a lady live a comfortable life in her surrounding? BIgB shows the true picture of a good father who makes every attempts to make her better.Generation gap could not change their relation but made it more smoother.

Piku unpretentiously painted a portrait of an average upper middle class family. Amitabh Bachan acted as a retired father and widower who still enjoyed spending time with his daughter while battling health issues. Deepika Padukone's role as the daughter involved hilarious exchanges with her father and other employees of their family. Irrfan Khan's character managed ferrying Amitabh and Deepika in his taxi after being under fire from his mother and sister to do business. Shoojit Sircar delivered a truly simple yet effectual Bollywood film considering the lack of dance numbers and villains. Juhi Chaturvedi sprinkled this award winning hit with lively witticisms for plenty of laughs to accompany the distresses of reality.

When Shoojit Sircar made Vicky Donor a few years back, I was simply baffled how a guy could make film on sperm donation without making it look sleazy or dirty. And when I saw the trailer of Piku and an old man complaining about constipation, I was wondering if Sircar and his writer, Juhi Chaturvedi who also wrote Vicky Donor get it right again. And, they do it with style !! Also, Juhi deserved the National Award. To be frank, I could see half the movie the 1st time and I watched the movie again a month later. Piku is very close to me because when it came I could see myself as Piku and in my home a bedridden grandma and an old mom wondering when all this suffering will end. The fights Amitabh and Deepika have were similar in my home as well as my grandma complaining of constipation every week and mom and me doing our best to help her out. When I watched it the first time, I laughed out loudly and was telling my friend that this is happening in my home. I watched Piku again a few days after my grandma died and I could understand the pain and loss when Amitabh's character dies for Piku. I could connect with the film again at that point.When I saw the cast of Amitabh and Irfan, both power house performers, I knew the film would be good. They share a brilliant rapport on screen and the scenes they have are outstanding. Amitabh, as the years are going by and without the weight of box office on him is outstanding and deserved the National Award for this role. He plays it which such perfection and the banter between him and Deepika is awesome and will you in splits.Irfan is as usual brilliant. Give him any role and he will shine. Again, like Amitabh, he doesn't have the box office weight to carry giving him more liberty to perform and excel.But for me the stand out performer is Deepika. I thought Deepika would be a wrong choice and after watching the film, I'm eating my words. She is a rock and shows that she is equally brilliant in front of these two stalwarts. The reason I could identify myself with Piku is because Deepika makes it so believable. She shows her love, anger, frustration and finally loss with such ease it left me speechless.Its a pity she didn't win the National Award but she lost to Kangana who was mind blowing in TWMR.A special mention to Moushumi Chatterjee who plays Piku's aunt. I wish I had an aunt like her.I also liked the writers showing the platonic friendship between Irfan and Deepika and not getting in the love angle.Piku is not an easy film to watch thanks to the subject of constipation and many of people will think it is rubbish. I would request that ignore the constipation and see the story and performances. You might change your mind.
