Fathers are our anchors, an unflinching pillar in our lives. For most of us, our fathers are our first role models, but they’re not the only ones who shape us. Sunday mid-day brings you a round-up of dads on screen who have also inspired us. These fathers may not be perfect, but they try their best. This Father’s Day, fill up a tub of popcorn and watch these films with your Papa!

Bhaskor Banerjee from Piku (2015)

A rare Hindi film where a father-daughter relationship takes centre stage, Piku follows Bhaskor Banerjee (Amitabh Bachchan), a cranky, constipated, oddly endearing widower dependent on his daughter. Watch it for a nuanced take on ageing parents, single daughters, and who really parents whom.
