Piku

Director: Shoojit Sircar
Genre: Comedy, Drama


A quality watch, long awaited from Bollywood. Must watch for all the Bengalis and as well the non Bengalis :)


You may look forward to:

• Amitabh Bachchan is slowly and gradually making his mark in generation today Bollywood. Acting father to the leads had become very cliche for all the actors of his age. His recent pick in movies has a niche touch, which brings out a virtuoso performance at his impeccable best. Amitabh Bachchan will be remembered forever for roles like this
• Deepika Padukone is as well trying to make her mark with some unusual scripts and non commercial caricatures. She does absolute justice to the role of  'Piku'. Yes linguistically Amitabh appears every inch a Bengali, while Deepika is an ornamental Bengali :) Nevertheless, She looks good and appears head strong, suits the characters demand on her
• Irrfan Khan is an amazing actor, goes without saying. He looks much younger and a very interesting character, with a lot of positive vibes
• Shoojit Sircar creates a hilarious movie with a very simple story line. Perfect juxtaposition for an entertaining film
• Moushumi Chatterjee and Jisshu Sengupta, are the other real life Bengalis in their short but descriptive roles. Worth a mention! Specially Moushumi Chatterjee on screen after a long time

What you can sleep over:

There are certain scenes which is exaggerated a lot more than required, resulting in too much chaos. However, we understand, the characters were written in this fashion, yet chaos under limit would be better appreciated

The dampeners you should be aware of:

No dampener, apart from the sudden burst of chaotic scenes!
