Summary: Piku (Deepika Padukone) is a Deli-based architect who manages her small business and takes care of her 70-year old father Bhashkor Banerji (Amitabh Bachchan). Romance and getting a life of her own, just doesn't seem possible While both are deeply attached to one another, they are equally strong headed, stubborn and just won't let go whenPiku (Deepika Padukone) is a Deli-based architect who manages her small business and takes care of her 70-year old father Bhashkor Banerji (Amitabh Bachchan). Romance and getting a life of her own, just doesn't seem possible While both are deeply attached to one another, they are equally strong headed, stubborn and just won't let go when dealing with each other's idiosyncrasies and quirks. When Bhashkor emotionally blackmails Piku to take a road trip from Delhi to Calcutta, the owner of the local cab company, Rana (Irrfan Khan), has no choice but to drive them personally since none of his drivers are willing to endure Piku or her eccentric father. During this road trip they learn to deal with each other's moods and idiosyncrasies and it reveals more than Bhashkor's bathroom habits. What follows is a mix of motion, emotion and commotion, giving us insight into a father-daughter relationship where Bhashkor's irritating yet endearing demeanor and Piku's equally headstrong nature may always be at loggerheads, but this seemingly dysfunctional relationship is bonded by an understated and unconditional love that leaves you wanting more.

Star power aside, it’s a modest, reined-in entertainment, rejecting musical numbers for a simple whistled refrain, and clocking in at just two hours. Read full review

While the movie has far more toilet humor than you might expect, the locations and overall sweetness of the performances make Piku a good winding-road pick. Read full review

Rachel Saltz

This movie, as the title suggests, is set up to be Piku’s story: How will she make a life? But the filmmakers let Mr. Bachchan overwhelm the story. Ms. Padukone, an always likable performer, remains in his shadow, just as Piku remains in Bhashkor’s, liberated but without real agency. Read full review
