A summary, reflection and response to the #PihuOnNetflix Movie is given with great appreciation to the work to writer, producer and director Vinod Kapri of Bhagrathi Films, distributed by Kirshnan Media. The Theme "Exposing the "Latch Key" Phenomenon is explored.
The film depicts the real life events of a toddler Pihu (Myra Vishwakarma), "while her mother lies still in bed, unsupervised, Pihu struggles to manage on her own and unnoticed in the minefield her home has become ." "Director Vinod Kapri said that the idea behind making the film was the question of "what does a toddler do when she is left alone at home?" He also based it on a real life incident that he read in 2014 in a national daily about a four-year-old girl who was left alone at home. He decided to have minimal dialogues in the film, wanted the story to depend on "how the girl behaves", and felt that "every shooting schedule [was] unpredictable." According to him, the film explores issues faced by married couples, and compulsions about the concepts of family and children." Sources: Wikipedia and IMDB
