Piku

Piku, directed by Shoojit Sircar, centres on an affectionate connection between Piku (Deepika Padukone), an architect residing in Delhi, and her quirky and widowed father Bhaskor Bannerjee (Amitabh Bachchan). Piku's hypochondriac father's chronic constipation and digestive troubles dominate their life. Bhaskor's fixation with his bowel motions frequently leads to squabbles, not just with his daughter, but also with their domestic assistance and family.

Although Piku adores her father and gladly covers her departed mother's absence, she frequently finds herself at odds with him due to his eccentricities. They take an unplanned road trip to Kolkata with Rana Choudhary (Irrfan Khan), a cab driver who agrees to accompany the father-daughter pair to their ancestral home.
