Deepika Padukone Announces Piku’s Comeback to Theatres for Its 10-Year Milestone

It all happened when Deepika Padukone took to social media to announce the re-release of Piku, sharing a video where Amitabh Bachchan reflects on the film’s legacy and reveals its return to theatres. In her caption, she spoke from the heart, saying, “PIKU holds a special place in my life.

It’s coming back to cinemas on May 9, 2025, to celebrate 10 years! Irrfan, we miss you and often find ourselves thinking of you…”

Released in 2015, the film was lauded for its sincere storytelling and moving performances. At its core, it depicted the touching dynamic between Piku which tends to be an independent, headstrong architect, and her elderly, hypochondriac father Bhashkor, a role that Amitabh Bachchan portrayed with great nuance.

In one of his most subtle performances, Irrfan Khan infused the character of Rana with a calm resilience, portraying a man who unexpectedly becomes a stabilizing force during a road journey that reshapes their understanding of family.

Helmed by Shoojit Sircar and penned by Juhi Chaturvedi, Piku distinguished itself through its sensitive portrayal of ordinary relationships, emotional subtlety, and a seamless blend of humor and heart. The natural chemistry among the lead trio lent the film a genuine charm that struck a chord with audiences..

Another objective to re-release the film is being owed to
the late Irrfan Khan, whose passing in 2020 left a lasting impact on Indian cinema. His role in Piku is still remembered as one of his most beloved.

The film’s music, crafted by Anupam Roy, along with its simple yet emotionally engaging visuals, continues to strike a chord with audiences. Its dialogues and touching portrayal of the complex yet loving father-daughter relationship remain deeply embedded in the hearts of viewers.

With Piku making its return to theatres, it gives both fresh viewers and longtime fans a chance to rediscover the film, now viewed through the prism of nostalgia and fond memories
