When you hear about a movie starring biggies like Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Irrfan, you have lots of expectations. Sadly, Piku failed my expectations. I won't blame the actors though, they seemed to do exactly what must have been asked to do. It's Shoojit Sircar, with whom I was disappointed. The story could have been awesome if it had the right direction.
Piku is a story about a daughter, who has to be the mother of her father. She selflessly takes care of her hypochondriac and chronically constipated father. In this process she absorbs all the characters of her father, a selfish, critical and hard to please Bengali. Rana (Irrfan), owner of a Taxi agency, who has a little crush on Piku, is caught in this family drama. He drives the family in long ride from Delhi to Kolkata, their home.
There were actually some few comedy scenes which made the movie bearable a bit.Other than that, the movie is full of fights and unending debates about the digestive system, which turns from funny to boring and then later becomes irritating.
Its in the end 10-15mins, when the emotions rises, that you may actually realize what was the movie all about.!
Background scores were good. Locations were nice. Story was quite good but direction and screenplay lacked.
Suggestions: Bring Ear-plugs. You may need it.
