It
is
said
that
simplicity
is
the
ultimate
sophisticaton
and
the
movie
Piku
perfectly
validates
the
saying.
Bollywood
film-making
has
pleasantly
changed
many
folds
in
the
recent
time
and
we
are
lucky
to
be
witnessing
that.
Gone
are
the
days
when
it
was
assumed
that
the
entertainment
quotient
of
any
Bollywood
movie
depends
on
sex,
action,
masala
and
Piku
is
a
fine
example
of
that.
Piku
is
a
simple
story
of
a
Bengali
girl,
Deepika
Padukone
(Piku
Banerjee)
and
her
relationship
with
her
father
Amitabh
Bachchan
(Bhaskor
Banerjee),
who
suffers
from
constipation,
both
physically
and
mentally.
Eventually,
Deepika
gets
into
a
cute
romantic
relationship
with
Irrfan
Khan
(Rana
Chaudhury)
who
owns
a
cab
company.
However,
Deepika
and
Irrfan's
love
story
depends
on
Amitabh
Bachchan
as
Irrfan
has
to
'adopt'
Deepika's
ailing
father
if
he
wants
to
marry
her
(as
preconditioned
by
Deepika).
But
the
main
story
of
Piku
starts
when
all
three
of
them
along
with
a
house-help
kick
off
a
road
journey
from
Delhi
to
Kolkata.
The
trip
made
Irrfan
know
about
Deepika
and
her
family
more
and
vice
versa
which
enabled
the
start
of
a
sweet
relationship.
The
special
bonding
that
a
father
and
a
daughter
shares
makes
the
crux
of
the
film
which
also
highlights
on
a
couple
of
other
issues
like
women
empowerment
and
responsibilty
towards
parents.
Will
Deepika
be
able
to
lead
a
life
that
she
wants
to?
Will
Deepika
and
Irrfan
finally
get
married?
Will
Amitabh
get
relieved
from
his
bowel
issues?
To
know
all
these
you
have
to
watch
this
sweet
tale.
Director
Shoojit
Sircar
has
picked
up
three
of
the
finest
talents
of
Bollywood
and
all
of
them
stood
firm
to
the
director's
expectations.
Deepika
Padukone
is
currently
one
of
the
most
sought
after
actresses
and
there
is
a
reason
for
that.
Apart
from
her
charm
and
beauty,
Deepika
can
steal
away
hearts
with
her
acting
also
and
she
has
proved
that
again
with
the
movie
Piku.
There
is
absolutely
no
point
in
scrutinising
Amitabh
Bachchan's
acting
skills
as
the
veteran
actor
can
certainly
pull
out
any
role
he
is
offered
with
and
this
role
of
being
a
constipation
patient
is
no
exception.
Although,
Big
B
appears
to
be
an
irritating
old
man,
his
childlike
behaviour
will
simply
make
you
fall
in
love
with
him.
Last
but
not
the
least,
Irrfan
Khan
is
one
of
the
best
actors
in
Bollywood
and
the
director
knows
this
fact.
We
hardly
could
imagine
Irrfan
Khan
romancing
Deepika
Padukone
but
after
you
watch
their
cute
chemistry
in
Piku,
your
conception
will
certainly
change.
The
best
thing
that
makes
this
film
worth
watching
is
the
fact
that
it
will
make
you
relate
to
yourself.
All
the
characters
in
Piku
seem
so
familiar
that
you
will
eventually
feel
the
tale.
Moreover,
the
dialogues
are
catchy
and
the
performances
by
Deepika,
Irrfan
and
Amitabh
are
unrealistically
realistic.
Although,
Shoojit
Sircar
has
used
his
resources
to
the
best
way
possible,
the
film
gets
somewhat
too
slow
at
certain
points.
Piku
Verdict:
Shoojit
Sircar's
Piku
is
a
simple
and
funny
movie
which
starts
with
bowel
issues
of
Amitabh
Bachchan,
goes
through
the
romance
of
Deepika
and
Irrfan,
and
ends
up
touching
your
heart.

a

be
happy
and
enjoy
her
life.
