I watched piku with my parents when I was a middle schooler with big dreams and high hopes of college. And the film itself portrayed such a beautiful father-daughter relationship. I am in college now, living the life I've been dreaming of and so much more. Getting a chance to truly explore Kolkata, bask in the essence of the city. Things aren't great with my dad anymore, sometimes we don't speak for days on a stretch. My heart is being ripped into pieces right now as all the old memories are flooding in. I wish I never grew up.
It's 3:04 am. I am at 19:11 in this video and for the past 15 mins, I have tears strolling down my eyes continuously. This sarod music does evoke all the suppressed emotions! I have been thinking about my ambitions, my family, my friends, my long distance girlfriend all this while and I just want to hug all of them so tight now ! Don't remember the last time I cried , even for a mere 2 mins. Also, the fact that Irrfan sir is no more hurts immensely. Truly funny , how strangers whom you have never seen or met in real, just witnessed on screen become so dear ! Thank u Anupam Roy for this gem...❤️
This theme playing while Piku and Rana walked around in Kolkata made me fall in love with the city. I've never been there but I hope I will some day :)
So true. This song feels like a home that I have been longing for all my life. Can't believe I discovered this today when Piku movie turned 9 years old.
The strains of the sarod in this composition pretty much sums up the state of mind - love, anguish, longing, loss. Irrfan portrayed "someone from among us, the commoners" so well, his departure feels like someone among us is gone forever!
it's been 6 years listening to this. Still can not state clearly what exactly I feel when I listen to this. Sometimes ecstatic, very homesick, very sad. But I don't know why I keep coming back to this!
It connects you to the place and people you have never been to or met. Same happens when you listen to 'De ushuaia la quica' by Gustavo Santalolla. I was in Kolkata for 4 years in my past. This sarod theme is a time travelling theme. I can see everyone and everything from those lovely 4 years.
Lost my dad exactly a month back. All I now have his clothes, his watch, his diary and looking at them my heart feels heavy. I think if there one thing that can describe my state of mind is this music. Dad, I miss you. Please be happy wherever you are.
I was in Kolkata for one and a half year and those were the best days of my life. I wish I could go back but I know I cannot. This desire of moving forward and earning more money makes you lose a lot of charm and real happiness of life. Try to be happy with whatever small things we have.
Sitting in my hostel at Pune, far from my parents and loved ones in Kolkata, and listening to this just makes me very emotional. It takes me down to the memory lane of childhood that I have spent in my hometown kolkata. Lots of love to the creators ❤️
Wonder why Anupum Roy didn't win accolades this wonderful piece of music. Guess bollywood (word i shun) has little appreciation for genuine creative music. Copying and loud music often suppresses wonderful melodies.
On the terrace watching sunrise and this is what I immediately wanted to listen. And now that I'm listening, I feel like this is the most beautiful music ever made.
While I am listening this masterpiece, my tears come out & I think about my papa, grandma as I lost them.. I miss my childhood as well.. Time flies.. I want to back my childhood... ❤️❤️
There is something so magical.about this composition. It is soothing but with a sad undertone. I can just visualize Irfan Khan's smiling face from Piku as soon as I close my eyes. Sigh!!
For me these 28 minutes is like I've stopped my current time, and I'm just remembering all my old days, those old days somehow bring back tears. It's like soo many things have changed, and they've changed a lot.
This place is full of happy people flaunting their vulnerabilities... A comfort zone .. Wish people can be off guard like this more often. But then again Life happens to each one every day...
It takes me in to deep memory lane of legend Irrfan. I believe he is up there, free from worldly sufferings. May you grant eternal peace my legend, you are for ever in my heart.
This is one tune which has the flavours of love, peace, nostalgia, happiness, calm, and more. Hats off to Anupam Roy for not only creating this wonderful theme but also for creating music which instantly touches everybody's heart... this proves the power of traditional indian music and musical instruments..
I watched Piku with my dad back in my hometown, it was always a comfort movie for me. My dad and my favorite ❤ This theme reminds me of my dad, year 2015, my home town, Kolkata. I lost my dad 5 years ago, but memories become so vivid each time I listen to this ♥️ I hope he is happy and at peace, wherever he is 🤍
Sometimes you cant decide if you have become part of a movie or the movie has become a part of you. Piku is such a kind. It seems like Irrfan was sent from some other world and now taken back makes this movie something like dreamy, fairytale. Nostalgic
I am a PhD student , while writing long assignments and working on complex papers, this is the music i turn to it gives me peace. thankyou for this gift thankyou from the bottom of my heart
Reminds me of my Love, my Motu, she made a reel over this music when we went on a trip to Utrakhand, we are not together because of my family and some mistakes of mine as well. But my love for her is still there and will always remain. Always Yours my motu :)
Don't know why we didn't get more Anupam Roy after this in bollywood. Not only this sarod theme, the whole Piku album ,the movie will be always a piece of art to me. Anupam Roy, Soojit Sircar, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone they all are just genius. And Irrfan Khan will be missed always 💔
The first thought which came into my mind after my ears gave a glimpse to such a blissful music is that…May our parents immensely have a healthy,happy and long life ahead.god bless you all!!!
It’s 5:53 am. I’m down with a pretty wicked viral, away from my home. Well I moved recently, for work. And this is the first time that I’ve moved so far. You miss parents in general obviously, but more so when you’re not feeling great, physically, mentally. I feel so unwell right now, my mother would have understood the exact thing that I needed at the moment, papa would always comfort me by his over the top care. I miss home. In my bones. It's funny how the things I always kept avoiding or kept ignoring at home, are the things that I'm very willingly doing now. Cause that's what Mom would've done. I feel like a different person altogether, how I try so hard to be the exact opposite of my mom, back home, but away from her, that seems like the only right thing to do. This music is all about the relationship with my parents, for me. Grateful that it was created.
পুজোর আগে একা রাতের শুয়ে থাকা ঘরে বাড়ি থেকে হাজার কিলোমিটার দূরের নিজের শহরের পিছুটানের আবদার জড়িয়ে আছে এটার সাথে। ❤️ চোখ বুজে এলে একে একে ধরা দেয় সেসব পুরনো স্মৃতিরা।
Sheer beauty in music - serene and elegant. Takes me back to my childhood, reminiscing the time I spent with my parents surrounded by trees. Fills me with love and pain. The artists never received any awards...Soul music rarely gets appreciated in 'Bollywood'.
Even after listening this song for 6 years, it still has that power to bring tears in the eyes. Every time, I can't stand without thinking about my loved ones. Whenever I listen this track, all the scenarios appear in front of my eyes; what they have done for me and how I am being unfair to them for not returning what they deserve. And I cry a lot regardless of where I am listening this track. This song indeed has a strong power of empathy. Hats off!
Durga Puja is almost knocking on my door and I just sat in front of my office Computer. And I'm just drowning in work load & then this God's Music pops into my yt from nowhere. Feeling Blessed. My Ears Are Blessed Now.
To everyone who is here for the love of the city or for the love of their loved one's here's my two cents... We live only once, but if done right? Once is enough. Happy journey down this road we call life.
And i kept on reading the comments.. And i am so happy to read each one of them.. Words coming straight from hearts.. Is a very rare phenomenon.... May everyone find peace..
Today is my birthday. I wanted to follow the person who commented that they listened to this on their birthday first thing in the morning. I am listening to it and this music accurately reflects the theme music of majority of my life
Giving me immense positive vibes and a reminder of all good things in life for surviving the Lockdown of COVID'19! Faith for Humanity and may God bless us.
I have been hurt by my family for some reason today morning i randomly remembered to listen to this music i don't know why. Tears rolled down as soon the music started my heart was heavy it feels light now.This music is a therapy.
This bit can make you feel so many things at once. It makes you nostalgic as well as shows you the excitement of something new. It makes you go through memories as well as heals you of your trauma. If life could be described by a song, it is this song. There is nothing as magical as music in this world and the creators of this song are nothing less than god.
Makes it all the more worh-while n soothing now dat the Legend is not amongst us anymore... Can literally picture him n his dialogs from the film as this piece plays on n on in my head phone... Truly saddened by his sudden untimely demise... R.I.P sir... In our hearts forever... ❤️❤️
I used to play it in my daycare. It was so soothing morning at 7 am, my pre-school children loved it. They played with their toys quietly, some used to do painting while listening this piece.
I want to cry, I want to laugh, I want to be sad, I want to be happy, you can feel every emotion while listening to it. I'm glad very few amount of people had watched it, cause not everyone has a good taste in music. ♥♥
When i listen this song i didn’t control my eyes, i cry. Remember my childhood day.I fall love with this song this song is very emotional song. This song is source of emotion,remember old memories etc. ❤
This theme playing while Piku and Rana walked around in Kolkata made me fall in love with the city. I've never been there but I hope I will some day :)
When life seems worthless, listening to this while sitting alone somewhere and crying your heart out...this theme heals that portion of me which is hidden from everyone😊♥️
Everytime I hear this music it soothes my heart within and gives my soul it's love and energy to live....nothing more pleasurable than this...love sarod ❤...wish someday to tell my child that there's a different harmony in this which would help her to feel like me......a part of me is within this music floating at different depths...lots of love
I like to write poems, whenever I am feeling overwhelmed I play this tune in the background and it becomes so easy for me to convey my feelings! Beautiful theme!
Last year I lost my paternal grandmother and my maternal grandfather in a matter of 6 months. Needless to say, it broke my heart. Thank you for this...it reminds me of them and for some reason just...sets me free. Wishing happiness and peace to everyone... I miss you dadi and nanu...I hope you're in peace. I love you
as I read the comments and try to think through it but I can't becoz only heart is alive and everyone just taking their heart out while writing. Just sharing their hearts out. This is very rare phenomena
আজ 2 রা বৈশাখ কিছুক্ষন আগেই নববর্ষ গেলো এই একটা দাদাই লিংক শেয়ার করলো... সত্যি মনটা অনেক ভালো আর হালকা লাগছে সত্যি অসাধারণ ছিলো এটা Special thanks to সেই দাদা টা...
This is amazing. This music has direct connection with your senses, tears rolls down automatically. I read all the messages and everyone felt in the same way.
This reminds of my grandma. My inspiration. my strength. I lost her a year ago, but the pain is still soooo raw. its as if I can still feel her touch, hear her voice........ I miss her, and this is something that connects me with her........ I love you dida, and I miss you. I know I expressed my love to you seldom, but now that you are gone, I feel lost and I still haven't come to the terms of not seeing you physically anymore. but I know you're always there around me. watching over me. protecting me......... Ill miss you dida, and I hope that one day Ill be able to see you again........
