Mumbai, May 10 (IBNS) Actor Irrfan Khan on Sunday said the success of his latest released film 'Piku' reflected the victory of the audience and the new film makers who want to engage 'audience on a different level'.

"THANKSss to all for the success of @PikuTheFilm . Feeling Great full , hopeful , beautiful and so light," the actor tweeted.

"It's the victory of the audience and the new film makers who wants to engage audience on a different level," Khan said.

Shoojit Sircar's family comedy drama Piku broke records on Saturday in India.

The film registered a massive record breaking jump of over 65 percent in India registering a mammoth figure of 8.7 Cr Day 2 against 5.32 Cr on Day 1.

Internationally the film has emerged as the biggest opener of 2015. The Overseas GBO till May 8 is estimated to be  US$ 770,000. Saturday trends internationally indicate that markets as diverse as  Dubai, Singapore, New York are all sold out.

The film is riding on a massive positive word of mouth and has ensured that youth and families throng the cinemas to take a peek into the crazy world of Piku, Baba and Rana.

A limited screen release, the popular and critical acclaim of Piku has been attributed to a number of factors- from Shoojit Sircar’s “ deft direction” to Juhi Chaturvedi’s “ taut screenplay and dialogues” ; from Deepika Padukone’s  “career best performance” and Amitabh Bachchan’s “eccentric yet endearing” act as Piku’s Baba  to Irrfan’s  “crackling on screen chemistry” with Deepika.
