Piku is one of the good films ever made in recent times. It will make you smile, then clap and then it will make you cry. It is a simple, honest, extremely heartwarming and a lovely tale. The film is high on emotions and comedy. The story will touch your heart.

Piku is a rare gem of a film. It deals with two of our nation's favourite topics - family and bowel movements. It's mad, angst ridden, touchy, full of love, joy and totally dysfunctional - as all real families I know are. Shoojit Sircar has a super keen eye. He doesn't miss a thing in this film. He delivers over-the-top potty humour, served with nuanced subtlety. You will laugh loudly and just as suddenly burst into tears. Just go see it now.

A 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. Piku is an absolute must watch.

An emotionally rich and endearing film, Piku is a heart-warming experience that every Indian who has lived with ailing or ageing parent will connect to. Piku offers no masala or romantic escapades but neither does it bog you down with preachy monologues and gyan on how kids should be responsible towards their parents. This is the kind of entertainers Bollywood should aim at.

Shoojit Sircar’s exploration of human relationships through unusual pegs provides his films an instant hook. And focusing upon bowel movements is certainly novel. ‘Piku’ sparks in moments, and I threw my head back and guffawed in a few. But the rest of it stays only mildly amusing. I wanted more motion in these motions.
