In films that is. In real life there are plenty of them too, but let’s limit ourselves to films. The Dad’s who say “hey, my daughter is something different, and I love that about her”.
I’m gonna toss off as many as I can think of, and you keep it going!
Anupam Kher in Daawat E Ishq

Pankaj Tripathi in Bareilly Ki Barfi

Sai Chand in Fidaa

Atul Kulkarni in Akira
Renji Penicker in Ohm Shaanti Oshaana
Who else? Or, alternatively, which of those I already listed are your favorites?
Amitabh in Piku! Supporting his free-thinking daughter is one of the few things he gets right about being a father/person.
Can’t remember who played the dad in Neerja, but him too.

I don’t know, I’m torn on Amitabh in Piku. He supports her free-thinking, but when she starts to want something more traditional, he won’t listen to her.

Renji Penicker in Athiran: his daughter (Sai Pallavi) has autism and everybody treats her badly. But he loves her a lot and seeing her excelent reflexes teaches her martial arts. Btw isn’t Renji always a great father in films?
Ritika Singh’s father in Oh My Kadavule
Madonna Sebastian’s father in Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum – he tries to be a traditional strict dad but fails because his daughter’s happiness in more important for him. (btw Margaret you should watch this film. Vijay Sethupathi plays a cute thug with a tender heart who falls in love with his neighbor)

I think “Renji is always a good father” seems like a thesis we can support.
