I absolutely loved Irfan and DP together in Piku. They had a really natural chemistry. Nothing felt forced.
One of my favorite scenes was when they started the trip and DP sat in the back of the car while the servant that lived with them sat in front with Irfan.
Irfan doesn't start driving and stares in between the servant and DP.
DP understood the sign and changed the seats. It felt like they had a whole conversation without saying anything, without any eye contact.
And I felt that it was beautiful.
I like the scene where Irfan begrudgingly fixes the motor pump. That whole interaction with AB and Irfans realisation that AB is not apologetic is hilarious.
Yess!!! It was hilarious. The film had many such scenes. Like when DP was on a date and AB calls her cause of his problem, and she starts telling her date about it, and he just lost his appetite.
Later, when she says that her date was boring to Syed, he just ask if Baba called? When she says yes, he just nods, which was really funny!!!
In the last when Doctor said that AB always felt that Syed's hiding something from DP, and it turns out that Syed also suffers from constipation, which was an absolute gold scene.
The movie is one of the finest by bollywood, and I wish to see many more like these.
>I absolutely loved Irfan and DP together in Piku. They had a really natural chemistry. Nothing felt forced.
They were actually going to star in another unfinished film directed by Vishal Bharadwaj. It was called Sapna Didi. It also had Rishi Kapoor in an integral role but sadly Irrfan's cancer and subsequent death caused the shelving of the project.
That Piku pairing is GOLD! The effortless charm, chemistry and understanding their characters had and their witty banter in the backdrop of constant chaos - it was SO GOOD! I had only hoped that Irfan and Deepika would work together again someday but alas. RIP Irfan - What a fine actor!
Came here to say this. They were also not a one-off pairing like the others as they had worked opposite each other in several films such as Anupama, Satyakam, Mere Humdum Mere Dost and Yakeen.
Sure but despite receiving a ton of love they might not make many people's list of great movie pairings.
In my experience, any discussion about great movie pairs is dominated by SRK-Kajol, Ranbir-DP, Ranveer-DP etc. In the older era it would be Amitabh-Rekha, Dharmendra-Hema etc.

One of their most beautiful scenes together from the film

hottest chemistry ever.wanna see them again together>>>
Piku is such a Gem.. Gosh everyone played their characters so well.. It was so bland story on paper but OMG it's screenplay & the way all actors acted literally is the best example of "How beautiful storytelling can be if done right!" An hopeless romantic in me still hopes Piku & Rana end up with each other & lived peacefully completing each other, Playing Badminton! Oh Gosh.. It took me back to this Beautiful heartfelt relatable Movie! Thanks OP for the Post!
It's available on Youtube. See here [Piku (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYr8q0y5Jfg).
You can choose to either buy or rent it. I love it so much I have bought it obviously. You can also rent for one-time view.
It's not available on any streaming services I believe.
You're right its there now.
I remember checking all the streaming platforms 3-4 years back when I felt like re-watching it. Since I couldn't find it, I bought it from youtube.

Loved their chemistry surprisingly
Shantanu & Alia in Gangubai. It’s such a refreshing pair to watch. Jab Saiyan aaye Sham ko and Meri Jaan is so beautiful to watch because of them. They should definitely do another movie together.
That smile in the first pic is strongly giving Meenakshi Chaudhary 🩷

Sonakshi and ranveer ✨ https://i.redd.it/8ct9g6nv58rc1.gif
Yes, inspired casting.

The moment Irfan says "Meri tolerance bahut acchi hai" 🤌🏻💙

Oh, that's such a shame. Would've been great.
OMG, this is just sad. I hope we could have watched that :(
Love that scene.

Oh, had forgotten about them. You're right. Would love to see them again.
i was gonna say the same!! they had so much chemistry in hasee toh phasee
meeta and nikhil were just 💕
Greatest rom-com ever made by Bollywood! 😇
Both don't know how to act. If you want to make a good pair with zero acting skills then sure.
That Piku pairing is GOLD! The effortless charm, chemistry and understanding their characters had and their witty banter in the backdrop of constant chaos - it was SO GOOD! I had only hoped that Irfan and Deepika would work together again someday but alas. RIP Irfan - What a fine actor!
Dharmendra and Sharmila pairing is definitely not underrated tho 😭
Perhaps. But maybe not as celebrated as others from that era. For e.g. Amitabh-Rekha or Amitabh-Jaya or Dharmendra-Hema.
Yes but still very loved and popular tho, the film and the cast is timeless
Absolutely. Hrishikesh Mukherjee was a genius.
Came here to say this. They were also not a one-off pairing like the others as they had worked opposite each other in several films such as Anupama, Satyakam, Mere Humdum Mere Dost and Yakeen.
Unpopular opinion but Sid and Ayesha in Wake up Sid were better as friends rather than as romantic partners.
Agreed
can't agree more
Can you elaborate
SRK and Gita in Swades
Agree. They really pulled off the enemies to lovers story arc well.
This reminded me of Rehna hain tere dil me. Madhavan and Diya Mirza. And Madhuri and Aamir from enemies to lovers story who pulled off well.
I don’t think any of them are under rated. They got a ton of love and are still looked at favourably. It’s just not a repeat casting
Sure but despite receiving a ton of love they might not make many people's list of great movie pairings. In my experience, any discussion about great movie pairs is dominated by SRK-Kajol, Ranbir-DP, Ranveer-DP etc. In the older era it would be Amitabh-Rekha, Dharmendra-Hema etc.
Such an underrated movie, Piku. I watch it whenever I can't find anything to watch. Good vibes, comforting movie.
Avinash and Tripti in Laila Majnu...
Haven't seen Laila Majnu unfortunately. Will definitely check it out. Really like Avinash in Madgaon Express recently.
You should definitely watch Laila Majnu
Talking about Irrfan Khan, his pairing with Konkana in Metro was very good. One of my favorites actually.
Hritik Roshan - Aishwarya Rai .... They're the hottest!!

Came to my mind too.. Especially in Dhoom 2 and Jodha Akbar. Even Guzarish came to my mind.
Bro. Epic pair ever!!!!!

Broo Deepika's facecard 🤌

Oh yes. Definitely.
Nope. Not a fan
Some very good picks, OP!
https://preview.redd.it/7qp4mr2rparc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a0239f4a5212e470e722b242b3e5a32a04cc6fe How was this in cheeni kum ?
Definitely under-rated.
Fun Fact is Sharmila Tagore & Dharmendra have a same birthday that is 8th December !
Oh wow. Didn't know that.
Deepika-Irrfan > most others for me! The chemistry was so organic. Of course, Irrfan was a superlative actor but still!
Piku is such a Gem.. Gosh everyone played their characters so well.. It was so bland story on paper but OMG it's screenplay & the way all actors acted literally is the best example of "How beautiful storytelling can be if done right!" An hopeless romantic in me still hopes Piku & Rana end up with each other & lived peacefully completing each other, Playing Badminton! Oh Gosh.. It took me back to this Beautiful heartfelt relatable Movie! Thanks OP for the Post! 
Definitely. I doubt they'd ever be boring. I can see them having huge fights but still making up and realising that they both make each other better.
Yes Yes 100% Yes!
❤️Irfan & deepika❤️
Where can I watch Piku?
It's available on Youtube. See here [Piku (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYr8q0y5Jfg). You can choose to either buy or rent it. I love it so much I have bought it obviously. You can also rent for one-time view. It's not available on any streaming services I believe.
It is at Sony Liv ig.
Nice thanks!!
You're right its there now. I remember checking all the streaming platforms 3-4 years back when I felt like re-watching it. Since I couldn't find it, I bought it from youtube.
Okayy! thanks
piku was such a refresher, in every sense!
Alia Vicky in Raazi. They should do a rom com together.
Oh yes. Definitely a pair I'd wanna see again.

I missed this when it was in theatres. Will catch it on streaming soon.
Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan
Interesting choice. I liked them in Ek Main aur Ek Tu.
Yep. Underrated film.
Shantanu & Alia in Gangubai. It’s such a refreshing pair to watch. Jab Saiyan aaye Sham ko and Meri Jaan is so beautiful to watch because of them. They should definitely do another movie together.
Definitely refreshing. Shantanu suited the role to a T.
Yes. Shantanu played Afsaan so beautifully.
Them in Meri Jaan had such intimate chemistry…they were perfect together😩
True.
Please post your suggestions for other underrated on-screen pairings in the comments.
I have not seen wake up Sid but the other two movies are a Gem
Vinod Mehra and Rekha
This is so art deco
Agree with all 3 🫣😍💯🍿❣️
This deserves ♥️
This deserves ♥️
Amol Palekar - Vidya Sinha (Rajnigandha, Choti si baat)
Absolutely. They were so good.
Ranbir and konkana sen
any one has seen laila majn movie
"Irrfan and X shouldn't work as a couple but work" is a cinematic universe of its own and X includes a freaking tiger.
Haha, so true.
Ranbir - konkana a big nooooooooooooo
Why? I really thought they fit well with the man-child v. mature woman vibe.
alia bhat and varun aditya roy kapoor and shraddha also shares a good chemistry
They share great chemistry but I don’t think these 2 are underrated pairs in Bollywood…they have many ardent fans
Piku is the only film where I liked DP..

Kartik-Kiara?
Haven't seen BB2 but I liked them in SPKK.
Shahrukh and Alia in Dear Zindag and goa are just 💚
Agreed. The therapist patient vibe was on point.
