Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan Khan, and Deepika Padukone in Piku (2015)

Piku (Deepika Padukone) juggles her life as a successful architect and being a single parent to her 70-year old father Bhashkor Banerji (Amitabh Bachchan). Getting a life of her own, just doesn't seem possible -- not for the lack of trying but she's weighed down by the responsibilities of her work, home and a hypochondriac father. While both are deeply attached with 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 native 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 crazy road trip they learn to deal with each other's moods and idiosyncrasies and it reveals more than Bhashkor's bathroom habits.

Trivia
All shots inside Toyota Innova are taken after removing first row headrests. Probably this was done to capture Amitabh Bachhan in the same frame as Irfan or Deepika. Driving without headrest is very dangerous for the first row passengers especially on highways.

Goofs
Early in the film, Piku tells Rana that her address is 'C-124, C.R. Park'. However, the gate says 'B-201', not 'C-124'.

Emotional and Entertaining

Wow...! I expect this level of expression from Bollywood. In the midst of nonsense and illogical movies, comes a piece of powerful and sentimental love,emotion and drama. It is based on a Father - Daughter relationship which people may call weird but, in fact it is depiction of situations of all old and sick parents in the world, specially India. Why should u watch it ? Because Bachchan Sir has given us a memorable and subjective touch through his acting as Piku's father. It shows how a daughter never forgets her duties even when his father irritates her by impulsive and relentless behavior. It shows how a man accepts death happily. It shows love is not a treaty. It takes us to a life changing journey from Delhi to Calcutta by road ! Just exchange of thoughts and love sprouts from strangest of places with strangest of people no matter what are the circumstances. Irfan is as expected, Deepika fits to the role, Amitabh sir is unforgettable.
