In the video, Amitabh Bachchan recalled their road trip, saying, “Nomoshkar (Hello). Piku, remember? Piku, Bhaskar da, they went on a road trip. Don’t remember? Watch this. It was an amazing road trip. It was unpredictable and unforgettable.” He added, “There were emotions, laughter and tensions too. Piku is re-releasing at your nearest theatres. Do watch, won’t you?” His words bring back the emotional depth and humour that made Piku so memorable.

Deepika also shared a personal note in her post. She penned, “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 message reflected her love for the film and served as a tribute to her late co-star, Irrfan Khan, who left a lasting impact on everyone involved with the film.
Piku tells the story of an aging father, Bhaskor Banerjee, struggling with health issues, and his daughter Piku, who is balancing her life while taking care of him. Their road trip to Kolkata serves as a pivotal moment in their relationship, where they grow closer despite their differences. Amitabh Bachchan’s portrayal of Bhaskor earned him his fourth National Film Award for Best Actor. The film, made on a budget of Rs 42 crore, went on to gross Rs 141 crore globally, solidifying its place as both a critical and commercial success.
