Who can forget the story of the girl next door Rani, going on her honeymoon alone after her fiance calls off their wedding.

'Piku'
The film beautifully shows how a woman prioritises others over herself at times. Played by Deepika Padukone, Piku is a financially independent, successful woman who does all she can to take care of her whimsical father. She has her needs too but she gives all her time and energy to her father.
