I was actually looking forward to this movie cuz of Irfan and the concept and the very fact that I love laid back movies with no mindless masala or item songs. But I was utterly disappointed, may be I went in with high expectations given all the reviews and feedback. 

AB Sr was pathetically annoying throughout the movie. Trailer was so much better, but his OTT act in the movie irritated my parents more than me 😆 The best was of course Irfan, how I wish he had more screen presence. DP and him made an unusually cute couple but before their chemistry can be explored, the movie ended. Booohooo. They should have substantiated on their chemistry than the sheer verbose of constipation in every other dialogue. Gosh, how did people not find that annoying :/ DP still needs to work on her dialogue delivery. It seemed like a chore for her on many occasions. All in all, a good concept that ended up being constipated with father-daughter duo in more need of fiber in their lives than the vigorous exercise of their voicebox...😆 

Few funny dialogues and moments, but that's about it. Otherwise an entire movie on Toilet humor ? Mehhh. I hope to see Irfan in more such movies though. The guy is a pleasure to watch on screen and I would love for him to do an out and out romantic role. I still love his goofy self from Life In a Metro...

When you are weeping and smiling, laughing and thinking of your own dad...#Piku. @ShoojitSircar thank you.

True. I lost my father and I can relate to many scenes between father and daughter here. I had tears so many times. Even the end was not melodramatic but real, simple. Movies shouldn't fall into any genre. Just good and bad films. Piku is one of the finest in a long time.

same here

too much familiarity made me emotional

i was missing my family while watching.

i am a bengali, the kolkata parts

the bangla songs i heard them before

my mother hates hindi songs

she is still into old bangla songs

and manna dey and hemanta songs

i grew up listening to thanks to her.

bhashkor singing 'ei poth jodi na shesh hoy' in car

and that 'jibone ki pabo na' song pe dance lol

and it made me miss my family more.

i found the film very real thanks to its simplicity

i felt like secretly watching conversation of a family.

laughed, smiled, and in some parts i felt sad.

parents, grandparents become kids after an age

the child subconsciously becomes the parent.

and its shown in a natural manner

kids get angry with parents, get mad

but the child will not tolerate if someone else

says anything bad about them.
