Piku is a 2015 Indian Hindi-language comedy drama film directed by Shoojit Sircar and produced by N. P. Singh, Ronnie Lahiri and Sneha Rajani. Released in India on 8 May 2015,[3] the film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan in titular roles, while Moushumi Chatterjee and Jisshu Sengupta appear in pivotal roles. The script was written by Juhi Chaturvedi. Principal photography began in August 2014 and was wrapped up in December. Anupam Roy composed the soundtrack and score, and wrote the lyrics.
At the 61st Filmfare Awards, Piku received 8 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (Sircar), and Best Actor (Bachchan) and won 5 awards, including Best Actress (Padukone). Bachchan won his record-setting fourth National Film Award for Best Actor at the 63rd National Film Awards and his record-setting third Filmfare Award for Best Actor (Critics) for his performance in the film.
Piku Banerjee (Deepika Padukone) is an architect residing in Chittaranjan Park, Delhi with her 70-year-old widower father, Bhashkor Banerjee (Amitabh Bachchan). Bhashkor is a hypochondriac with chronic constipation, who traces every problem in his life to his bowel movements. His habits often lead to quarrels with Piku, the servants, and Chhobi Mashi (Moushumi Chatterjee), Piku's maternal aunt, who often visits them. Piku loves her father and, as her mother is deceased, takes good care of him but is often extremely irritated by his eccentricities. Her colleague, Syed Afroz (Jisshu Sengupta), is a good friend and she is a regular client of the taxi business of Syed's friend, Rana Chaudhary (Irrfan Khan). Regularly stressed both by her job and by her father's finicky behavior, Piku often quarrels with Rana's taxi drivers during her morning commute, leading to several car crashes.
Piku wants to sell their ancestral home in Kolkata, Champakunj, but Bhashkor objects vehemently and decides to visit Kolkata. Piku, unwilling to let him travel alone after a recent health scare, is obliged to accompany him. Bhashkor refuses all modes of travel other than by car, citing his constipation as the reason. Due to Piku's problems with Rana's employed drivers, all of them refuse to drive her. Piku tries to book a flight to Kolkata, but Rana arrives at their home to take the family to Kolkata himself, without informing his mother and sister about the trip. On the way, the group encounters many incidents, with Rana on the verge of losing patience due to Bhashkor's fussiness and constipation. When they reach Kolkata, Bhashkor asks Rana to stay with them for some time. Piku and Rana spend time with each other in the city and gradually grow close. Rana also subtly hints to her that she should not to sell the ancestral house.
Rana leaves Kolkata and asks Bhashkor to stop his eccentricities which he eventually listens to. Piku changes her mind and decides not to sell the house. Bhashkor has a sudden desire to bicycle, so he sets out bicycling through a part of the city alone, without telling anyone. Everyone is worried about him and when Bhashkor returns, Piku berates him for eating street food and for being irresponsible, but he simply states that his constipation is cleared and he needs to bicycle every day. He remembers Rana who had told him to eat everything and not be choosy and picky about food. Piku is secretly happy but does not emote much. The next day, everyone discovers that Bhashkor has died in his sleep, probably from sleep apnea or cardiac arrhythmia. Piku states that he always wanted a peaceful death and returns to Delhi where she arranges his funeral. While there, Dr. Srivastava (Raghuvir Yadav), Bhashkor's regular doctor, reveals to her that Syed, too, has constipation and Bhashkor knew about it for a long time. A few days later, she pays up whatever due she owes Rana. She renames the Delhi house "Bhashkor Villa" in her father's memory and the maid, who had left due to Bhashkor's tantrums, returns to work. The film ends with a scene of Piku playing badminton with Rana in the courtyard in front of her house.
Shoojit Sircar's original choices of the main cast were Parineeti Chopra in the title role, Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan. These three actors were given the script. However, Chopra turned down the part.[6][7] The cast of Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan was finalised in mid-2014.[8] In preparation for the role of Piku, Padukone learned Bengali as her character is from Bengal.[9] There were early reports that Jisshu Sengupta was cast as the romantic lead opposite Deepika Padukone, but Sengupta plays Padukone's character's best-friend.[10][11] Irrfan Khan plays the romantic lead opposite Deepika Padukone.[12][13] Bachchan essays the role of Piku's father, while Moushumi Chatterjee portrays Piku's maternal aunt.[14] Akshay Oberoi was cast in a cameo.[15]
Principal photography for Piku began in August 2014, when the film's first schedule took off in Kolkata.[16] The first schedule for Piku was also filmed in Delhi and Mumbai and included indoor scenes.[17][18][19] The second schedule of filming started on 30 October 2014 in Kolkata, mostly in the north.[19][20][21] Specifically, shooting took place at the Howrah Bridge in the city's Shyambazar neighbourhood and at Bishop Lefroy Road.[21][22][23] During the shooting at Howrah Bridge, Bachchan bicycled around the city dressed as his character.[24] The Kolkata schedule was completed on 18 November 2014 and shooting now shifted to Delhi and Patdi Near Surendranagar in Gujarat.[25][26]
The "Journey Song" was shot in Gujarat in December 2014 on the state highway connecting Ahmedabad to Bhuj.[27] Shooting in Delhi took place at Gurgaon cyber hub and city club where Padukone and Khan were seen filming.[28] The film was wrapped up after its last schedule shot in Varanasi. Padukone and Khan shot on the ghats of Banaras under chilly conditions and attracted a crowd.[29] Shoojit Sircar said Piku was not written with an interval in mind, but because of the tendency of Indian theatre operators to force intervals into films during screenings, Sircar decided to accommodate an interval during the editing stage.[30]
The music of the film is composed by Anupam Roy while the lyrics are penned Anupam Roy and Manoj Yadav. The first song, "Journey Song", was released on 1 April 2015. The official music album was released online on April 21, 2015.
On the contrary, Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 2.5 out of 5, saying "Piku sparks in moments, and I threw my head back and guffawed in a few. But the rest of it stays only mildly amusing. I wanted more motion in these motions".[53] Rachel Saltz of The New York Times wrote "Piku, directed by Shoojit Sircar from a script by Juhi Chaturvedi, isn't a typical Hindi movie. It lopes along, following no formula beyond the roughest outlines of a romantic comedy."[54]

Everybody seems to be in love with Piku. The tale of an eccentric Bengali family has been applauded by critics and box-office alike. This blog is about the three Bengali songs in the movie which were intelligently used by director Shoojit Sircar.
1. The first song is Jeebone ki parbo na sung by Manna Dey from the 1969 film, Teen Bhubaner Pare, where an upper middle-class girl falls in love with a lower middle-class boy. In Piku, Big B dances briefly to the super dance track composed by Sudhin Dasgupta. The exertions cause him to fall ill the next day.
The song, composed by Hemant Kumar, was later used in the Hindi film, Bin Badal Barsaat (1963) starring Biswajit and Asha Parekh. Ik bar zara phir keh do become a popular track but never received the same approval or rating as the Bengali version.
Anupam Roy is a well-known name in Bengal. The music director shot to unbelievable fame with one single song back in 2010, and thereafter, he hasn't really had to look back. Roy debuts in Bollywood as a music composer, singer and lyricist with the Amitabh Bachchan-Deepika Padukone-Irrfan Khan starrer Piku. The songs of the film have found an audience all across the country. As he basks in the glory of the way the Piku soundtrack has been received, he has a few people to credit for his success, and his listeners to thank. Excerpts from the conversation:Anupam Roy and Shoojit Sircar
Piku is like a dream to me. It happened exactly a year ago; around April 2014, when Shoojit da (Shoojit Sircar, the director of Piku) gave me a call and asked me to compose a song for the film. At that point, I didn't know that I was going to get the entire soundtrack. He just told me, "Ek ganaa banaao." I went to his place with Bezubaan, which I'd written at that time. He listened to the song and liked it, and then made his team listen to the song, and they, too, liked it. So, he asked me to compose another song. So I went back home, really happy that I'd been asked for one more song. I composed the Journey Song then. The entire process happened again... I went to his house, played the song, and he liked it. I guess it was at that time that he'd made up his mind that he'd give the entire film to me. Four songs and the background score was the initial deal. Later on, he added the fifth song.
