Get ready to laugh, cry, and fall in love all over again—Shoojit Sircar’s much-loved gem Piku is heading back to the big screen! Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the film will re-release in theatres on May 9, 2025, rekindling the quirky, heartfelt journey of a daughter, her eccentric father, and an unsuspecting man caught in their chaotic lives. Deepika Padukone, who played the titular character, announced the re-release with a touching tribute to her late co-star, Irrfan Khan, leaving fans nostalgic and teary-eyed.
Sharing a heartfelt montage on Instagram, Deepika included behind-the-scenes moments and emotional snippets from the film, along with a reflective message: “A film that will always have my heart – PIKU is back in theatres on 9th May, 2025 to celebrate its 10th Anniversary! Irrfan, we miss you! And think about you every so often...” The post also featured Amitabh Bachchan reminiscing about the film, making it even more special for fans who hold Piku close to their hearts.
Piku, which originally released in 2015, broke away from Bollywood conventions with its quiet yet deeply emotional storytelling. Deepika’s portrayal of Piku Banerjee—a modern, independent woman balancing her personal freedom with the responsibilities of caring for her irritable, constipated father (played hilariously by Amitabh Bachchan)—was lauded for its authenticity. But it was Irrfan Khan’s subtle, steady performance as Rana Chaudhary, the reluctant road trip companion, that gave the film its grounding soul. His calm demeanor and dry wit beautifully contrasted the father-daughter duo’s frantic energy, adding layers to the story without ever stealing the spotlight.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar, Piku remains a genre-defying blend of comedy, drama, and slice-of-life storytelling—elevated by stellar performances and an unforgettable soundtrack. As it returns to cinemas, it’s not just a celebration of a decade of cinematic brilliance, but also a poignant reminder of Irrfan Khan’s unmatched talent and the irreplaceable space he holds in Indian cinema. This re-release isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a chance to experience Piku with fresh eyes, and maybe even appreciate its tender truths a little more deeply.
