While Amitabh and Irrfan were brilliant in their roles, it was Deepika’s character that caught everyone’s attention. The way the film subtly explores Deepika’s character – as a fierce and independent woman, navigating her dynamics with her ailing father and trying to maintain a personal life – is purely brilliant.
As the film completes 8 years today, many netizens have taken to social media to remember their favorite moments. Here’s what he has to say:
“It’s 8 years of Piku, a film that gets better with each passing year..a film about ordinary people going through the motions of life, and yet about womanhood, familiar relationships, societies and cities I speak very loudly and clearly. Resident.”, wrote a user.
Another user commented, “A brash, free-spirited, raucous, Bengali woman who loves her father even though he is the cause of her frustration, breaks down alone in her room, and sips a roll or a drink.” Flirts with her eyes while taking it. Impeccable writing means an instant connect with the audience. Piku is every woman.”
