One new Hindi movie opens in the Chicago area on May 8, 2015. Piku stars Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone as a father and daughter on a road trip, chauffeured by Irrfan Khan.
Piku opens on Friday at the AMC River East 21 in Chicago, Regal Gardens Stadium 1-6 in Skokie, MovieMax Cinemas in Niles, AMC South Barrington 30 in South Barrington, Regal Cantera Stadium 17 in Warrenville, and AMC Loews Woodridge 18 in Woodridge. It has a listed runtime of 2 hrs. 15 min.
Gabbar is Back gets a second weekend at all of the above theaters except the River East 21.
Other Indian movies showing in the Chicago area this weekend include Uttama Villain (Tamil w/English subtitles) at the Muvico Rosemont 18 in Rosemont, Cinemark at Seven Bridges in Woodridge, and MovieMax, which also carries the Telugu version of Uttama Villain, India Pakistan (Tamil), Bhaskar the Rascal (Malayalam), Oru Vadakkan Selfie (Malayalam), OK Kanmani (Tamil), OK Bangaram (Telugu), and S/O Satyamurthy (Telugu).
Sounds promising, but why do they have to be so graphic as to constipation and gastritis is concerned? Amitabh?! What is the world coming to?
I agree, Ashok. I’m not really looking forward to this movie, and I’m definitely not going to eat anything while watching it!
Good idea, Kathy!

Thanks for the link, Ashok. I suspect all the scatological humor in Bollywood these days is another unfortunate import from Hollywood.
Yes, perhaps we like to ape Hollywood in more ways than one!
Sometimes the joy indeed lies in trying out something new, and Piku is just the tonic.
Great! Looking forward to it.
