Exclusive - Piku Hindi Movie Exclusive
Piku centers on the relationship between an ageing, hypochondriacal father, Bhashkor, and his practical, independent daughter Piku, who runs an architectural firm in Delhi. Bhashkor suffers from chronic constipation and is obsessively fixated on his bowel habits. After a domestic dispute and concerns over his health, they, along with Piku’s brusque employer Rana, undertake a road trip from Delhi to Kolkata to transport Bhashkor back to his ancestral home and to address his long‑deferred desire to return. The journey exposes family tensions, generational differences, and the deep bond between father and daughter. The film balances humor and poignancy, culminating in acceptance and reconciliation.
During the car scenes, the headrests of the front seats were removed so that the camera could capture Amitabh, Deepika, and Irrfan in the same frame simultaneously.

The filming began. And it was a disaster.
Piku herself represents a rare archetype in mainstream Indian cinema: a multidimensional, independent woman who balances a professional career as an architect with the intense demands of home life. Her identity is not defined by a romantic quest; instead, her romantic and sexual needs are treated as a matter-of-fact part of her life rather than a source of shame or a primary plot driver. The film also subtly challenges traditional gender roles by showing that a daughter is just as capable and responsible for elderly care as any son might be. The Catalyst: Rana Chaudhary
Deepika read it in one sitting in her vanity van. She didn't see a "role"; she saw herself. She saw the frustration of a daughter who loves her parent but is exhausted by them. She called Shoojit back, not to negotiate money, but to ask one question: "How do we make sure the audience doesn't just laugh at him, but cries with him?"
3/7 Many critics argue this was the turning point for @deepikapadukone, proving she could carry a film with nothing but a "khadi" kurta and raw vulnerability.
