Pihu All Critics Reviews and Ratings

  • Times of India | Review By - Pallabi Dey | Rating-3/5
This unusual thriller has all the elements you'd expect from a film that can attain cult status. In all fairness, the story does throw up a few nail-biting moments, too.

  • News18 | Review By - Rajeev Masand | Rating-2/5
But the movie doesn’t ultimately work because there’s no point to it. It’s neither a compelling cautionary tale about bad parenting or a sufficiently responsible thriller. The film revels in making you flinch and squirm and cringe. That’s just mean-spirited.

  • Hindustan Times | Review By - Raja Sen | Rating-1.5/5
Who would want to watch a baby cry? Nobody, and that’s what dooms Vinod Kapri’s silly and sadistic film Pihu, where a little girl walks precariously around an apartment without being watched or cared for.

  • Film Companion | Review By - Anupama Chopra | Rating-2/5
In the beginning, I was worried sick about Pihu – this is basically every parent’s nightmare – but that quickly gave way to exhaustion. The script is so visibly manipulative that it’s difficult to stay invested.

  • Mumbai Mirror | Review By - Kunal Guha | Rating-2.5/5
ihu hopes to give you a taste of how it would be if your minor was left at home alone without adult supervision for an entire day. But given the low voltage jolts in this one, your chances of suddenly dropping dead in a screen near you are less likely.

  • India Today | Review By - Suhani Singh | Rating-2/5
As the minutes tick Kapri's urban horror show becomes familiar. When the focus turns to unseen adult voices, the script's weaknesses are apparent.

  • News18 | Review By - Rohit Vats | Rating-3/5
At 96-minutes, Pihu grips you by the neck and doesn’t let your bat an eyelid. However, it could have helped a whole lot if it had a tighter second half.

  • Rediff | Review By - Sukanya Verma | Rating-3/5
Despite its shortcomings, Pihu is an experiment worth encouraging. It may not be a flawless work of film-making but it has something valid to say about lousy parents.

  • Filmfare | Review By - Devesh Sharma | Rating-3/5
Go watch the film for a story that totally differs from the usual escapist fare that Bollywood dishes out, doesn’t have a known name as the lead and yet manages to keep you engaged.

  • Koimoi | Review By - Umesh Punwani | Rating-3/5
Pihu will disturb you in many ways but at the same time will somewhere create a sense of responsibility. Watch it for its novelty factor and a very good performance by Pihu Myra Vishwakarma.

  • Times Now | Review By - Amman Khurana | Rating-3.5/5
Each time Kapri adopts a new tactic to engage your senses, you become more and more emotionally vulnerable. Infusing drama into this terrifying tale is Yogesh Jaini’s camera that patiently follows the two-year-old protagonist and let her be. Jaini uses almost every prop in the house to his advantage.

  • Filmibeat | Review By - Madhuri V | Rating-3/5
Pihu deserves to be watched purely for Myra Vishwakarma's applaud-worthy performance that matches the brilliance of a seasoned actor. Could we have some more of this little kid, please?
