Relationships are complicated things. Real relationships are emotionally exploitative, and we are sometimes the exploited and sometimes the exploiter. The regular commercial films don’t (or can’t afford to) have insights like these. It is the slice of life films like Piku that show us how the relationships that suffocate us can also be the ones that mean the most to us.
So we have the perpetually irritable Piku (Deepika Padukone) whose hypochondriac father Bhaskor (Amitabh Bachchan) is obsessed with his bowel movements. A difficult man to live with, he is nonetheless the centre of Piku’s universe. Into this not-so-cozy family enters Rana (Irrfan), the taxi stand owner who volunteers to drive Piku and Bhaskor to Kolkata after all his drivers refuse to drive the constantly bickering father-daughter duo. He observes them and begins to understand Piku’s frustrations.
It’s all about loving your parents but not the Karan Johar way.

Irrfan Khan has been known for the diverse roles he plays. He has been seen in negative roles and various other serious characters. Yet the actor has never been seen in a conventional love story. And with Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming family comedy drama, ‘Piku’, where he will be seen romancing the pretty Deepika Padukone, he is going to venture into the romance genre.
Talking about his character in ‘Piku’, he reveals that his character Rana refuses to flirt with the girl until he is sure she would reciprocate. He said, “Like me, he’s shy. For him, romance is not coy smiles but about being aware of someone’s physical presence without even looking at or speaking to her.” He also disclosed that there was a scene in the film during their journey from Delhi to Kolkata when Piku (Deepika’s character in the film) was emotionally and physically...

Deepika Padukone will be seen opposite Irrfan Khan for the first time in Piku. And she's very pleasantly surprised with the buzz surrounding their jodi.
Says Deepika, "Irrfan and I have a great chemistry. I think people didn't know what to expect initially because the film is primarily Piku's journey and talks about a father and daughter relationship. But one of the things that pleasantly surprised all of us is the reaction that Piku and Rana (Irrfan Khan's character name in Piku) got from the trailers. It's great to see that the audience sees much more than we had expected."
Also starring Amitabh Bachchan, Piku is directed by Shoojit Sircar and is slated to release on 8th May, 2015.

After months of anticipation and several delays, Kochadaiiyaan, the epic motion capture computer–animated film starring South Indian superstar Rajinikanth and Deepika Padukone is finally in cinemas. The film, directed by Soundarya R. Ashwin, is an animation film with Photorealistic Motion Capture Technology, also called Performance Capturing Technology. It is the first of its kind to be produced in India, and being the same technique used in Hollywood blockbusters such as Avatar, expectations about the quality of the film are very high. Is Kochadaiiyaan worth watching? Keep reading to find out!
First of all, here are few lines about the plot. Kochadaiiyaan narrates the story of Rana (Rajinikanth), a passionate, fierce and ruthless warrior, who returns to his homeland with a veiled agenda, to avenge the death of his father Kochadaiiyaan (also Rajinikanth), who was unjustly put to death by the reigning king of Kotaipattinam.

Rajni will play the warrior ‘Kochadaiyaan’ as well as his son Rana, with music composed by Ar Rahman and directed by his daughter Soundarya, in what will be a ground-breaking film for Indian cinema on an international level.
Talking about the film Soundarya said at a press conference held in London last year, “I wanted to immortalise my dad and this technique (photo capture technology) allows us to do so much more creatively than what live action films can do. It is different from visual effects because with that you shoot live and then you composite with a computer generated background (CGI), but in this movie everything you see is going to be created in the studio.
