Yesterday night my husband and I went to watch the new-released Hindi movie, Piku- motion se hi emotion. Piku is an Indian comedy-drama film directed by Shoojit Sircar. Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of Deepika Padukone's father, who is the main protagonist of the film, Piku. Irfaan Khan plays the romantic lead against Deepika Padukone while Moushmi Chatterjee is Piku's aunt in the film.
Piku is an architect living in Chitranjan Park in New Delhi with her hypochondriac Bengali father, who has very strong personality and sees logic in everything. He thinks that only low IQ people marry, so he is deadly against his daughter Piku marrying someone. His sole focus is on his 'motion' which is rather difficult in his case. All the medicines, and home remedies don't seem to help much. Although all of his medical reports are fine, he still gets his BP and fever taken three days a day, just in case!
Piku is equally strong-willed, independent woman, but her life revolves around her father. There are so many comical every day moments in the film, where we laughed and laughed till tears came into the eyes! You have to see the movie to savor every scene, but I can say one thing: the message behind all this was poignant!
Throughout two hours or so of the movie, whatever were the idiosyncrasies of the father, how he behaved in front of other people, what others said about him, all these things didn't affect Piku, his daughter. She still responded at his first call, took care of his medicines, taking BP readings, listening to his 'contorted' logic about every thing, and arguing also at times, AND without any frustration, question or disinterest. It was the most touching message! I am going to watch it again, may be because Amitabh Bachchan is my favorite hero!
