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.

PIHU - in the 105 minutes of its running time, Pihu (played by Pihu Myra Vishwakarma) keeps us at the edge of our seats and gives us shocks that lead to unbridled palpitations. She is a cute two year old girl, who wakes up on the day after her second birthday next to her mother, unable to comprehend why she wouldn't wake up. She soon realises that she is all alone, her father is away and the mother is in deep slumber. Pihu is hungry, bored and hopelessly lonely.

It's a social thriller that sends chills down the spine and fills you with compassion for the hapless child who bolts from one near disaster to another without supervision. It's a strong lesson for parents that may have failed to grow the maturity needed to handle young children - their actions may have grave consequences. Pihu is the only live character in the film and she steals your heart - it's not acting as it's not possible for her to be directed. Bravo Vinod Kapri for the sensitive and tactful handling of Pihu. Go for the innovative subject with an utterly believable plotline. 8 STARS!
