![]() As a result, the rest of her life, which includes her most modest aspirations and desires, takes a back seat. Rather, her day starts and ends with the gastric whims and fancies of her eccentric father. Only this remarkably familiar character is not vying for top professional honours or pining for the affections of a man. This is the story of an average girl in a big city. That is simulated with genuine authenticity in Piku. ![]() For once a movie deserves the status of a homage, a throwback to the good old days of Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy, Asit Sen and Basu Chatterjee.īack then, the stories were simple and yet the characters and their emotions were wonderfully complex. And yet, in a brave and poignant choice, a filmmaker is trying to recreate this old school thought. Perhaps last heard of in 5th grade Hindi class in a Munshi Premchand lesson. It’s a story of a modern woman, who's not into ambition, social media or friends. ![]() And yet, that is exactly what Piku is all about. In an age when people choose individualism over family bonds Shoojit Sircar attempts to tell a story long forgotten. Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Irrfan, Jisshu Sengupta and Moushumi Chatterjee
