This film is about a two year old girl getting trapped alone in the apartment along with the dead body of her mother lying on the bed. And it's based on a true story!
Curiosity generates when its trailer shocked everyone. However, the film is not excellent or mind blowing. I found that it is just an extended version of the trailer. It is not a bad film, it's a good film, but not the mind-blowing one.
Though, this film has to be told through cinema because it taught us how to live properly if you have a child. One mistake can led you to the trench. You will definitely gain something out of it.
The microwave shot was damn new thing. For me it was the best part of the film. However, I was feeling dizzy😅 in that moment because of the movement of camera.
The actor, Pihu, has done fantastic job. This can be the first film where you see just one actor on screen throughout the run time. Kudos to the makers for creating such cinema.
On the whole, Film asks for your patience. May be only parents will adore or enjoy this fully. Also, if you have newly born baby, or there babies around you, don't watch it now. Because it will haunt you for days and night. It is an eye opener for people living in high society and don't know how to maintain relationship after having a baby. Go and watch this to experience a new thing! And those who have weak hearts, avoid it.

Pihu is a film about a 2 year old girl who wanders around her flat and constantly being put in danger by everyday appliances.
I was intrigued by the trailer as to how this film would work. How can a 2 year old girl shoulder an entire film? After seeing it, I learnt it was possible.
Maya Vishwakarma as Pihu is amazing and an outstanding achievement. It's truly incredible how director Vinod Kapri managed to make someone as young as her feel so captivating whilst making her the sole centerpiece of the entire movie. Seeing her interact with dangerous equipment we use in our daily life is nail biting as we constanly hope nothing bad happens to her. However, Kapri uses these threatening situations to a point where it becomes repetitive and stretches the runtime. Kapri's direction is great. There are some shots used which I've never seen being utilised in another film.
Alongside this, Kapri incorporates mature themes into his film which is an eye opener to parents as to how they should care for their children. I wish the makers would have explored these themes into more detail to allow the story to be more investing.
Overall, Pihu is a decent watch. I appreciate the uniqueness and effort that went into this movie and applaud Kapri for delving into a subject like this. I just wish the story was more reinforced and less tiresome.

First of all Hats off for little Myra Vishwakarma whose cuteness will make you giggle and go 'awww' and 'nooooo' on screen and secondly the deserved credit to director to pull off those shots of little girl. Coming to the story, everything in the movie looks staged to create the risky environment for the kid which is hard to digest at moments with some obvious plot holes. The first half was really engaging but second half couldn't hold the pace created. The director could've explored the house even more instead of repititive engagements of girl with dangers. FULL MARKS for the effort of makers and director to create a different genre of thriller in itself.
The movie is really good.At least for me.
I don't know how much crowd of people will this movie attract but it's definitely a one time watchable movie.
It shows that in relation you need to have understanding and you cannot let child be at the sufferer end just because of misunderstanding.
It also shows as a Parent you need to be responsible and be very careful with the toddler and shouldn't take your child for granted.
