Piku (Deepika Padukone) is a Delhi based architect who manages her small business,runs her home and takes care of her 70-year old father Bhashkor Banerji (Amitabh Bachchan).A hypochondriac, Pikuâs Baba must ensure that he has her attention 24*7 leaving her with little time to do anything else. Romance and getting a life of her own, just donât seem possible! While both are deeply attached with one another, they are equally strong headed, stubborn and just wonât let go when dealing with each otherâs idiosyncrasies and quirks!
When Bhashokar emotionally blackmails Piku to take a road trip from Delhi to Kolkata , 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 undesired road trip they learn to deal with each otherâs moods and idiosyncrasies and it reveals more than Bhashokarâs bathroom habits.
What follows is a heady mix of motion, emotion & commotion which culminates as Piku and Bhaskhor return to their roots in Kolkata, giving us an insight into the father daughter relationship where Bhaskorâs irritating yet endearing demeanor and Pikuâs equally headstrong nature may always be at loggerheads but this seemingly crazy relationship is bonded by an understated and an unconditional love that leaves you wanting more.
