Plot

[edit]

Piku Banerjee (Deepika Padukone) is a 30-year-old Bengali architect who resides in Chittaranjan Park, Delhi along with her 70-year-old widowed father, Bhashkor Banerjee (Amitabh Bachchan). The hypochondriac Bhashkor has problems with chronic constipation and traces the root of every problem to his bowel movements. His habits often lead to arguments between Piku, the servants and Piku's maternal aunt, Chhobi Mashi (Moushumi Chatterjee), who often visits them. Piku loves her father and, as her mother has died, takes good care of him, but at the same time, also gets extremely irritated with him because of his eccentricities. Bhashkor has several medical tests done, but everything comes out to be normal, severely disappointing him. Ignoring Piku's vehement objections, he has also recently fired the maid for stealing phenyl, a charge that the maid opposes, and this is the fifth maid that Bhashkor has fired in the last two months. Moreover, Bhashkor is also opposed to the institution of marriage and wants Piku to take care of him to satisfy her maternal urge. He states that marriage is a low IQ decision, and that he wanted Piku's late mother to be independent, but she wasted her life in the service of him. Bhashkor also criticises Chhobi Maashi for marrying thrice and states that her own daughter, Eisha (Rupsa Banerjee), was never a priority for her.

Piku's business partner, Sayyed Afroze (Jisshu Sengupta), is a good friend of taxi business owner Rana Chaudhary (Irrfan Khan), whose taxi Piku always uses to commute to her workplace, but is notorious for being a very difficult customer. Regularly stressed both by her work and by her father's finicky behaviour, Piku criticises the taxi drivers with excessive backseat driving, due to which they lose focus and cause several car crashes. As no taxi driver at Rana's company wants to take Piku's duty, Rana complains to Sayyed but Piku brushes both of them off, offended by Rana's rude nature, and tells Sayyed that she is taking a break from the office. When Piku goes for a date with Aniket (Akshay Oberoi), Bhashkor keeps interrupting her, claiming that he has a fever, and makes such a fuss that Piku has to call his regular doctor, Dr. Srivastava (Raghuvir Yadav), and talk about Bhashkor's feces texture and temperature, causing Aniket to lose all appetite. Bhashkor also has a bit too much to drink at Chhobi Mashi's marriage anniversary party and later dances at home, which results in his blood pressure dropping and him being put on oxygen therapy, leaving Piku distraught. Elsewhere, Rana has his own family problems with his widowed mother and sister. Rana's sister stole her mother-in-law's jewellery and gave it to her mother, due to which her husband abandoned her along with their baby.

Bhashkor's relative, Nabendu (Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury), arrives from Kolkata to secure his consent to sell their ancestral home named Champakunj there. Nabendu tells that a builder is interested in the land and is willing to pay top rates, but Bhashkor objects vehemently and decides to visit Kolkata to stop the deal. Piku has to comply in accompanying him, since she cannot let him travel alone after the recent health scare. Bhashkor cannot travel by aeroplane due to his breathing problem and even refuses to travel by train as he receives constipation due to all the rhythmic movement. Bhashkor decides to travel by road, so that he can stop wherever he wants for excretion and receive some blood circulation going in his body, but none of Rana's taxi drivers are willing to endure Piku or her father. Disappointed with the taxi company, Piku tries to book a flight to Kolkata, but Rana personally arrives at their home to take the family to Kolkata himself, without informing his mother and sister about the trip. Rana is puzzled when he finds loads of baggage being loaded onto the car along with a lavatory chair for Bhashkor.

During the road trip to Kolkata, the group encounters many incidents, including Rana on the verge of losing patience due to Bhashkor's fussy behaviour and his constipation. Piku finds a large knife in Rana's car trunk, and Bhashkor insists Rana to throw the knife away or else he would not travel by the car. Rana pleads that the knife was kept by drivers for their road traffic safety, but has to eventually compromise and throw the knife away. During discussion, Rana reveals that he is an engineer and had a job in civil construction in Saudi Arabia. However, he was made to work as security guard on the site, despite being offered a job as project manager. When Rana protested, he was fired and that is when he returned to India to manage his family business established by his late father. They spend the night at a hotel in Varanasi, where Rana shares a room with Piku and Bhashkor as all other rooms are full and he refuses to sleep in the car. The next morning, Bhashkor tries Indian toilet-style sitting upon Rana's suggestion, which does not seem to help either.

The group finally reaches Kolkata, where Bhashkor's younger brother and sister-in-law still reside in Champakunj, and Bhashkor asks Rana to stay for a day. Piku and Rana spend time with each other in the city and gradually grow close. Rana also subtly hints Piku to not sell Champakunj during a discussion. The next day, Rana leaves Kolkata after advising Bhashkor to stop his eccentricities which he eventually agrees to. Piku changes her mind and decides not to sell Champakunj. Meanwhile, Bhashkor's sudden desire for bicycling increases after Dr. Srivastava gives him the news of a Japanese bicyclist having died at the age of 99. Believing that he will also live a long life by doing so, Bhashkor ends up bicycling through a part of the city alone, leaving everyone tensed since Bhashkor did not inform anyone about it. When Bhashkor returns, Piku berates him for eating street food and for being irresponsible, but Bhashkor simply states that his constipation is cleared, and that he that needs to bicycle every day. He also remembers Rana having advised him to eat everything and not to be dependent on anyone. Piku is secretly happy but does not emote much.

The next day, everyone discovers that Bhashkor has died in his sleep, probably from sleep apnea or cardiac arrhythmia. Piku states that Bhashkor always wished for a peaceful death, and that his only health problem was constipation which was also cleared on the day before his death. She returns to Delhi, where she arranges Bhashkor's funeral. While there, Dr. Srivastava reveals to Piku that Sayyed, too, has constipation and Bhashkor was aware about it for a long time, causing Piku to break up with Sayyed. A few days later, Piku pays up whatever due she owes Rana and he appreciates her for having taken care of her father like an ideal daughter. Piku renames her Delhi residence "Bhashkor Villa" in her father's memory, and the maid, who had left due to Bhashkor's tantrums, returns to work. The film ends with a scene of Piku playing badminton with Rana in the courtyard in front of her house.

Development and Casting

The for Piku originated from Juhi Chaturvedi's concept, which she developed in close collaboration with director Shoojit Sircar. Chaturvedi's inspiration drew from her own dynamics, particularly the eccentricities of her grandfather, while Sircar contributed insights from his personal experiences with aging relatives and the everyday strains of familial caregiving. Pre-production gained momentum in early 2014, following initial discussions in 2013, with the project allocated a of ₹42 by producers Ronnie Lahiri, N.P. Singh, and Sneha Rajani under Rising Sun Films, Saraswati Entertainment, and MSM Motion Pictures. commenced later that year. For the central role of the hypochondriac father Bhaskor Banerjee, Sircar envisioned from the outset, tailoring the character with influences from the legendary Bengali Utpal Dutt's portrayals of irascible patriarchs to suit Bachchan's commanding presence and comedic timing. Bachchan accepted the part, drawn to its grounded exploration of parental vulnerability. The titular role of Piku Banerjee initially went to Parineeti Chopra, who was approached due to her ability to embody strong-willed, relatable young women, but she declined amid scheduling conflicts with other commitments. Sircar then pivoted to Deepika Padukone, whom he had in mind even during the scripting phase; he urged Chaturvedi to craft the character around Padukone's poised yet fiery persona. Padukone attached herself to the project immediately after reviewing the script, connecting deeply with Piku's independent spirit and her strained bond with her father, famously remarking that the character felt like an extension of herself. Irrfan Khan was cast as the pragmatic cab driver Rana Chaudhary, building on his successful prior collaboration with Sircar in the 2013 political thriller Madras Cafe, where their creative synergy had already proven effective. Khan committed to the role despite interest from a major Hollywood project, prioritizing loyalty to Sircar and the film's intimate, character-driven narrative.

Filming

The production wrapped in December 2014 following a week-long shoot in Gujarat. The filming process presented logistical challenges due to the diverse locations, ranging from bustling city streets to remote highway stretches, requiring meticulous planning for transportation and permissions. Director navigated acting differences among the leads, with favoring extensive rehearsals for precise single-take deliveries and refining his performance across multiple takes, a dynamic complicated by their first and lack of prior table reads. To portray the Bengali patriarch Bhaskor authentically, Bachchan worked on incorporating a Bengali-inflected Hindi dialect, enhancing the character's cultural roots despite the film's primary language being . The production emphasized realism in depicting familial tensions, drawing from the actors' on-set improvisations to simulate natural arguments and interactions. Cinematographer Kamaljeet Negi employed a grounded visual style, prioritizing and extended sequences to convey the intimacy of everyday life without contrived setups.
