Read the full reviewIt is a film with tremendous heart -- one that made me guffaw and made me weep and is making sure I'm smiling wide just thinking about it now -- but also a sharp film, with nuanced details showing off wit, progressive thought and…
Read the full reviewA warm, charming and bittersweet family drama, Piku turns the genre completely on its head. The result is a magnificently original film that delivers a memorably unique movie experience.
Read the full reviewUnlike its cagey titular character, Piku is a film that's hard to dislike. It is structured as a journey that relies, at times forcibly, on the relatable nature of its protagonists.
Read the full reviewPiku speaks its truth with simplicity and heart. It made me laugh and cry. And I can get behind any Hindi film in which a father says of his single daughter: "She's financially independent, sexually independent." Bravo.
Simple and soulful, it leaves a sweet aftertaste that lingers for a long time after the lights go off.

Read the full reviewPiku is a refreshing tale that acquaints us with one of the craziest father-daughter duos ever. It features three extremely talented stars who will not disappoint you.
Read the full reviewPiku, directed by Shoojit Sircar, is a charming, unpredictable comedy that like Sircars Vicky Donor mines humor from the unlikeliest of places.Sircar keeps a breezy, light-hearted tone throughout, infusing a hint of humor even in…
Read the full reviewWatched Piku. A simple-n-sweet tale that’s deftly executed and brought to life by Shoojit Sircar. A film that demands an applause. Irrfan is brilliant. Is there any character he cannot portray?
Read the full reviewAnd that's Chaturvedi's real talent: her writing never gets bogged down in seriousness even while dealing with serious issues.
Read the full reviewBengali or not, Piku is a mass family entertainer. This weekend, it will be a mistake not to catch up with her and her Baba's shitty problems.
Read the full reviewThe only problem with Piku was that it ended. Yet it ended just like the rest of the film - in perfection. You felt full, satiated and still willing to squeeze in one more delicious bite if offered.
Read the full reviewPiku is an exceptionally intimate character study.The three principal characters bare their frailties on camera as though they were part of a reality show that had no cameras. The emotions are raw and unabashed.
Read the full reviewIn the end, however, you will love this nutty comedy for its characters that are nuttier still. Much like all of us and the people we love. "Death and shit can come anywhere," says a character. That's quite a philosophy!
Read the full reviewIt's a charming, unpredictable comedy. Despite being obsessed with all the wrong body parts, it's a film that's full of heart.
Read the full reviewOn the whole, Piku has sectional appeal only. It is entertaining and very different from the usual commercial films but it will be loved by only the class audience and will, therefore, score in good multiplexes, mainly in the…

Read the full reviewFor the Masala flicks lovers, Piku is certainly not your cup of tea, but for the ones who love light and real cinema, do watch it this weekend.
It's amazing how a good script brings out the best in actors and that's exactly the case with PIKU. PIKU is epic sh*t! You simply can't afford to miss this one.
With passion, there's precision too, the editing fish-bone sharp, detailing, down to Bhaskor's monkey cap, perfect. Some moments evoke Ang Lee's terrific 'Eat Drink Man Woman'. Others evoke your and my life.

Read the full reviewMore than anything else this comedy got me slightly emotional thinking about how distracted we get by life in general that we often begin to take our old folks—parents, grand parents—for granted.
Read the full reviewWhether it is the accent, mannerisms, expressions or timing, Bachchan shows that if the role has any potential, he can still make mince-meat of it. Piku offers the most wonderful time at the cinemas, don't miss out on it.
Read the full reviewPiku, made by the writer director pair of Shoojit Sircar and Juhi Chaturvedi, who also gave us Vicky Donor, is a simple movie about Piku, an independent, working woman.
Read the full reviewPiku leaves ample scope for stereotyping Bengalis but I'll resist the temptation to go in that direction.
Read the full reviewConstipation, as a subject, is clearly not something that's easy to digest! But Sircar plays along with it; he makes you laugh with it; he lets you have fun with it.
Read the full reviewPiku will make you laugh, cry and smile all at once. It is a slice of life film that captures a rather unseen but the most real father-daughter relation ever. Don't miss this endearingly honest piece of work!

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
