Review of Piku (2015) by Kaustubh H — 09 May 2015
Another surprise package by a Bengali director this year. After the slick Byomkesh Bakshy helmed by Dibakar Banerjee, Shoojit Sircar's Piku is one hell of a film. Seeming to overdo toilet humor from its trailers, Piku however makes you laugh all along the film and at the same time genuinely care for its characters.
Never getting monotonous or preachy, Sircar tackles issues such as parental relationships, old age and the desire to let go free in beautiful, humorous ways. While the film boasts of solid actors such as Irrfan Khan, Raghuvir Yadav and Moushumi Chatterjee, the Big B proves yet again why he is the Shehenshah of Bollywood and outdoes himself yet again with a stunning performance as the stubborn and quirky father.
It is a beautiful film and one that deserves to be watched on the big screen.
