Three most talented and versatile actors are in Shoojit Sircar's Piku. Amitabh Bachchan has nothing to prove. The actor is playing the character of an irritating old man, constipation patient in film Piku but audiences will love him at the end for his childlike behaviour.

Deepika Padukone can impresses audiences through her performance and beauty. In film Piku, Deepika looks excellent and so far as performance is concerned,  Deepika is outstanding.

Irrfan Khan is a different type of actor and his potentiality is fully explored in film Piku by the director.

Piku is a must see film which starts with bowel issues of Amitabh Bachchan, goes through the romance of Deepika and Irrfan, and ends up touching your heart.
