Piku
This is a moving film about a hypochondriac father and daughter, their bittersweet tiffs, eccentricity; captured extraordinarily by Shoojit Sircar. Deepika Padukone-Amitabh Bachchan portrayed a very realistic view.

The way the father-son relationship is explored in this movie by Satyajit Ray is extraordinary. The genius auteur is on-point with the nuances and dynamics while showing the four generations of an affluent family.
