A crowd-favourite is Piku that shone a light on the eccentric family of an ailing, single father and his daughter. Bhashkor is an educated, opinionated man whose daughter lives with him, a daughter who is perhaps even more headstrong than he is. Amazingly, he not only respects her for who she is, but he also nurtures and encourages the traits of independence, equality and no-nonsense in her. Bhaskor is portrayed brilliantly by Amitabh Bachchan and the strong star cast of Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan make it a must-watch.

Though her father lacks the money she needs to pursue her dream, he makes up for it with abundant motivation and a cheery disposition. And no one else could have played the role better than Pankaj Tripathi, the father who is considerate and conscious that a woman always has it harder.

Aamir Khan plays the central role of Mahavir Singh Phogat, a wrestler who trains his daughters Geeta (Fatima Sana Shaikh) and Babita (Sanya Malhotra) to become India’s top wrestlers. With one single dialogue, “Hamari chhoriyaan chhoron se kam hain ke?“, the movie gained massive popularity and rightly so.
