Piku is a unique Movie. The acting by Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan is brilliant and it carries the movie throughout. Sometimes I did feel lack of direction as some things were confusing to understand or you did not get them till after you watched the movie. Overall a really good and thought provoking film and great shots of Kolkata and Delhi.
