Leave your thoughts about Piku.
| FilmfareRachit GuptaPiku is Shoojit Sircar's film. It's his way of celebrating forgotten cinema by Bengali greats. |
| Georgia StraightItrath SyedThis is a beautiful and often hilarious film about a love that lasts a lifetime. |
| OutlookNamrata JoshiA lot of Piku belongs to writer Juhi Chaturvedi, in her naturally progressive ideas and her ability to see the universal in the particular. |
| Film Journal InternationalEthan AlterA father and daughter hit the road to repair their relationship, but end up trying the audience's patience. |
| Mumbai MirrorRahul DesaiThe music feels like a warm breeze, worldviews and personalities seem familiar, and the quiet final minutes reiterate the circular motion of life. |
| New York Daily NewsJordan HoffmanWhile the movie has far more toilet humor than you might expect, the locations and overall sweetness of the performances make Piku a good winding-road pick. |
| ReutersShilpa JamkhandikarPiku is a lovely film, which tells a compelling story created out of everyday lives. This doesn't happen too often, so don't miss this one. |

| Scroll.inNandini RamnathSome sequences bristle with the emotional tension that can result from a self-centred single parent stifling his daughter's dreams, but they quickly dissolve into giggles. |
| New York TimesRachel SaltzThis movie, as the title suggests, is set up to be Piku’s story: How will she make a life? But the filmmakers let Mr. Bachchan overwhelm the story. Ms. Padukone, an always likable performer, remains in his shadow, just as Piku remains in Bhashkor’s, liberated but without real agency. |
