"Tamasha and Bajirao Mastani will be the two cherries" - Deepika Padukone
"I am absolutely looking forward to Tamasha. I am satisfied for this year. I am very happy. God has been really kind. Piku is the cake, Tamasha and Bajirao Mastani will be the two cherries," said Deepika Padukone in a Bollywood Hungama. Deepika is being showered with choicest encomiums for her performance in Piku and with the release date of Tamasha confirmed for November 27, she is eagerly awaiting her next film with Imtiaz Ali post Love Aaj Kal.
Shoojit Sircar's Piku has redifned Indian cinema. It is a sensible well written and well directed film that is being lapped up by the audience both in India as well as abroad. "From a film it has done way more than I expected. It has gone beyond. It is one film that the audience has taken away from us and taken ownership of it. Most special has been the audience reaction. I don't think we've seen what has happened to Piku in a while. Critics, audience and now the Box Office, all three put together. For a lack of better word, it is extremely overwhelming," Deepika said.
Piku is a progressive film that also adds value to the cause of women empowerment in India. Bhaskor (Mr Bachchan) wants his daughter to be independent. He had respect for his wife's individuality as well. Deepika adds to it by saying, "Piku is a very progressive film. At the same time we have retained the essence of Indian values and culture. Somewhere we all identify with it because no matter how much we progress in our own lives there is certain Indian’s that we are all brought up with that you can't take away from us. Yes it is very very progressive but it is also very rooted at the same time."
