A delightful film, very little that says so much. Go to Full Review

3/5
Given the bloated junk currently clogging both Hindi and American mainstreams, such human-sensitive fare provides its own restorative, oddly pleasurable form of release. It slips down nicely. Go to Full Review

A lot of Piku belongs to writer Juhi Chaturvedi, in her naturally progressive ideas and her ability to see the universal in the particular. Go to Full Review

3/5
Watch Piku if you are in the mood to watch a movie that's all heart. There are no larger-than-life heroes, dramatic transformations or neatly-tied endings. Still, Piku works its magic because it steers clear from the usual trappings. Go to Full Review

Piku is a lovely film, which tells a compelling story created out of everyday lives. This doesn't happen too often, so don't miss this one. Go to Full Review
Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in 06/21/2016
Some sequences bristle with the emotional tension that can result from a self-centred single parent stifling his daughter's dreams, but they quickly dissolve into giggles. Go to Full Review

Likith C @Likith Jan 9 Piku — A Beautifully Human Father–Daughter Story. Piku is a rare gem—simple, honest, and deeply human. At its heart is Piku Banerjee (Deepika Padukone), a fiercely independent woman juggling her career, relationships, and an emotionally demanding father. Deepika delivers one of her most natural performances, portraying modern womanhood with wit, warmth, and quiet strength. Amitabh Bachchan is unforgettable as Bhaskor Banerjee—brilliant, stubborn, and emotionally vulnerable—while Irrfan Khan brings gentle charm and grounded realism as Rana, the calm presence in their chaotic journey. The film finds humor in everyday frustrations and tenderness in ordinary moments, turning a road trip into an exploration of love, responsibility, and personal freedom. Piku is not loud or dramatic—it is sincere, soulful, and unforgettable. Powered by extraordinary performances, it proves that the simplest stories often leave the deepest impact.
