PIKU- Some Effortless Motion

My Movie Review- 

A plain vanilla plot revolving an aging stubborn, nitpicking father and an equally irritated, headstrong, stuck in a rut daughter connecting  and crusading for motion with emotions is a movie to watch for sure. Simply, because of its realistic views;because it tugs at your heartstrings, nudges it now and then, with the simplicity of the 'Middle of the Road' variety of cinema

The movie doesn't promise exceptional plot, a laugh riot or a masala potboiler  but simple pleasures and agonies of watching a dysfunctional father-daughter duo pulling it off, one day to the other. 

We have Deepika as an agonised daughter,Bacchhan saab playing a grumbling,insulting father, Bhaskor, obsessed with health and Irrfan, as the taxi owner, as a pleasing supplement to bring in his straight faced humour in the chaotic household.

The characters take the road way to visit Calcutta to pay a visit to the ancestral household where the other characters unfold. On their journey, Irrfan, in one of his endearing roles, drove few points home to Bhaskar and showed him a side of love he'd almost taken for granted. Deepika, as a bengali girl, does justice to her character and so does Bacchan saab. It is Irrfan, though, who steals some very effective scenes just with his piercing eyes, radiating anger and peace to a great effect.

The music from Anupam Roy, who's a known name in the Bengali filmdom is very well and from what I have heard, the songs are his writing, bringing forth his great imageries and soothing ambience. Calcutta's portrayal, in keeping with the movie, has been portrayed in nostalgia as a walk down the memory lane it was for the protagonists. Bacchan saab recounting the places and events with his brother in Calcutta are some of the scenes worth endearing to.

However, the movie is very predictable and does not change on the father-daughter relationship. It never evolved beyond their regular tantrums until Nature takes its course. Yet , it is warm and likeable to watch. 

A one time watch if you are looking for a respite from the onslaught of meaningless movie & if an uncomplicated movie is your thing.

. Dekko then.
