Some movies have been made so delightfully that one can watch it again and again. Piku is one of them, directed by Shoojit Sircar. Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan & Deepika Padukone in the lead. The film has been written by Juhi Chaturvedi. So, the plot isn't very extraordinary. But, the narration makes the movie well and good. Even Piku has so many talented actors, one can always talk about the story telling. Juhi has done her part brilliantly. Full marks to her work, because not a single moment, the viewers get bored. This film describes the relation to the father with his daughter, & also to age with the person. I thought in the beginning that it would be like Finding Fanny. Which was only likable to very few people. But, as the film goes on, I believe that this film is classic and will be loved by all. I liked Vicky Donor and Madras Cafe a lot. Shoojit came with different topics since last 3 films. But, somehow I found that this is not best from him. He simply directs this film, as the story and the content were unique. You can't be able to find out any mistakes in direction but than also, some of you may feel the same. Amitabh is a legend, He acts very simply that no one could be able to recognize his other characters of previous films. He is improving and improving day by day. Deepika is as usual, good, same as Finding Fanny, beautiful in some scenes and mature actor in the climax. Moushami has played Piku's masi very well. I felt that all good. But, the biggest plus point of this movie is, Irrfan. I don't know why, but, whenever he entered the screen, I start laughing. His eyes are in search for something. He plays the driving company owner and wears stylish glasses. He looks like a hero. I'm loving him and his character other than the rests. Anupam Roy has given the music. Songs are good and listenable. But, the effective work of him as a background score composer can be identify by the tune in title credit as well as the sitar playing in the climax scene. That tune made my heart to sob and I was literally crying. Some scenes are superb. You can find comedy, drama, emotions & motions in Piku. When Irrfan starts the car and then looks beside him to the servant and then to Deepika - no dialogues or music is happening in these scene, but, Irrfan made it classic. This is my most favorite. Other than this, the journey, the chatting on dining table, the Indian toilet-Western toilet issue - all are fantastic. On the whole, it doesn't require any age limit, for everyone, it is a delightful watch in the theater. This type of cinema is rare so make it to earn more, so we can see such beautiful projects in future. You can't miss it for sure.
