Piku, a comedy-drama, is widely regarded as one of the best Bollywood films in its genre. The critics appreciate the film for its unique storyline and the stellar performances of its lead cast.
Deepika played the titular character in the film. She was a very realistic character, who, with a frowning forehead, dealt with her father Amitabh Bachchan's childlike behaviour.

Irrfan played Rana Chaudhary, a pragmatic taxi company owner who finds himself entangled in the eccentricities of the titular character's family dynamics.
Khan's effortless charm and subtle humour complement the film's slice-of-life narrative, making his performance a standout.
Shoojit Sircar's 'Piku' was released in 2015. The film received positive reviews from both critics and the audience. Deepika won her second Filmfare Award for Best Actress category for her role in the movie. (ANI)
