Piku Plot Summary
What happens in Piku from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Piku Banerjee, portrayed by Deepika Padukone, is a talented Bengali architect living in Delhi with her elderly father, Bhashkor, played by Amitabh Bachchan. Bhashkor is a man plagued by chronic constipation, and he humorously attributes every problem to his bowel issues. His quirky habits often lead to friction with their staff, like Budhan, who is portrayed by Balendra Singh, and annoyances with frequent visitor Chhobi Mashi, played by Moushumi Chatterjee.
While Piku deeply cares for her father, the loss of her mother has placed the responsibility of his well-being squarely on her shoulders, which sometimes leads to her frustration with his eccentricities. Despite undergoing various medical evaluations that yield normal results, Bhashkor remains discontented and hyper-focused on his health.
