'Piku' is like hot chicken broth for the senses, the kind of food you know will soothe you, warm the cockles of your heart and more importantly, won't mess with your digestive system. Perhaps, the kind of dish that would be just ideal for one of the lead protagonists of the film, 70-year-old Bhashkor Banerjee (Amitabh Bachchan), who perpetually suffers from constipation. Banerjee (and the script) is obsessed with his blocked tract and insists on chronicling and describing every step of his highly erratic bowel movement.
