Director Shoojit Sircar's Piku is steam-rolling through the Indian box office with business of over Rs 60 crores since it released on May 8.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted:
The film stars Amitabh Bachchan as the hypochondriac Bhashkor Banerjee, Deepika Padukone as his daughter Piku, and Irrfan Khan as taxi service owner Rana Chaudhary. (Also Read: Piku's Juhi Chaturvedi on Her Bengali Connection and Writing For Amitabh Bachchan)

The period piece, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma, opened in more theatres than Piku did but has performed dismally since releasing on May 22:
