Piku (Deepika Padukone) is a Delhi-based architect. She manages her small business, runs her home and takes care of her 70-year-old father, Bhashkor Banerji (Amitabh Bachchan), who spends most of his time obsessing about age-related issues.
Piku’s father makes sure that he has her attention 24/7, leaving her with little time to do anything else. Romance and getting a life of her own doesn’t seem possible! While both are deeply attached to one another, they are equally strong headed, stubborn and won’t relent when dealing with each other’s quirks!
When Bhashkor emotionally blackmails Piku to take a road trip with him from Delhi to Kolkata, the owner of the local cab service, Rana (Irrfan Khan), has no choice but to drive them personally. None of his drivers is willing to endure either Piku or her eccentric father on a long journey!
What follows is a heady mix of emotion and commotion that culminates as Piku and Bhashkor return to their roots in Kolkata, giving us an insight into their father-daughter relationship.
Piku stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan. The film is directed by Shoojit Sircar Pannu and produced by N.P. Singh, Ronnie Lahiri and Sneha Rajani.
This film releases in Ster-Kinekor cinemas at the Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Durban, The Zone@Rosebank and Newtown Junction in Johannesburg, and Forest Hill in Centurion on Friday, 08 May.
