13 Piku dialogues: ‘Matha kharab nahin hai mera’ and other lines that hit the right chord

When you think of ‘constipation’ and it reminds you of Bhashkor Banerjee’s weak bowel movements, then Piku dialogues are worth discussing in detail. Shoojit Sircar’s directorial venture, Piku, is regarded as one of the best movies of Deepika Padukone till date. It also featured Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan. Apart from their respective performances, Piku is remembered for its hilarious dialogues. Here we have 13 Piku dialogues from the 2015 film that are cherished even today.

While some of the dialogues are hard-hitting and thoughtful, a few of them will tickle your bones. Remember when Big B as Bhashkor said, “sirf low IQ waale log shaadi karta hai?” Let’s explore more!

13 Piku dialogues that will make you rewatch Deepika, Big B and Irrfan-starrer

1. “Ek age ke baad parents apne aap zinda nahi reh paate. Unko zinda rakhna padta hai. Aur woh zimmedaari bachhon ka hi hai.”

In a scene from Piku, Deepika Padukone as Piku highlighted how parents get dependent after a certain age and how it is the responsibility of their children. This happens when Rana calls Piku her father’s mother.

2. “Yeh burden burden kya laga rakha hai aapne? Emotional blackmail karke parents ko pata nahi kya sukh milta hai.”

This is from a scene from their road trip where Irfan Khan as Rana Chaudhary gets triggered after Bhashkor yells at Piku for not taking his problems seriously. Rana stressed how Bhashkor emotionally blackmailed his daughter.

3. “Sirf low IQ wala log shaadi karta hai. Dekhbaal karna hai, mera karo. Shaadi ke baad father ka ghar chhod karke, doosre ghar mein jaana, udhar dekhbaal karna, how foolish! I gave birth to you, ki naa? Hum toh tum ko chhod kar gaya nahi. So now I am your child, you do the same.”

Amitabh Bachchan as Bhashkor Banerjee spoke about the harsh reality of a daughter leaving her parents after marriage to take care of her in-laws. He questioned why Piku should stay and take care of him instead as he grew her up.

4. “Maybe this is the way forward, issi ko log development bolte hain. But apni roots, agar unko ukhaad do, toh kya bachega?”

In a scene, Rana shared how people are getting detached from their roots and shifting to other places in the name of development. Rana reminded her of how she was selling her house in Kolkata.

5. “Aise walk karne se kuch nahi hoga, jaa ke bethiye bathroom mein ho jaayegi.”

Dealing with constipation? Try this.

6. “Death aur shit…yeh do cheezen kisi ko, kahin bhi, kabhi bhi aa sakti hai.”

Nature’s call it is.

7. “Insaan ka emotion uska motion ke saath juda hua hai.”

Big B as Bhashkor delivered this line about how emotions are connected with motion. Rana was so right in pointing out that Bhashkor could relate everything to stomach. 

8. “Dilli mein galti kisi ki bhi ho, police danda driver par hi chalati hai.”

Delhiites know it better, right?

9. “Tum kya shaadi karega isse? She’s moody like me. And woh virgin nahi hai!”

This is when Bhashkor Banerjee was the coolest and most straightforward father ever!

10. “Semi-liquid motion first, then two days of constipation, what should I do? Yeh Koi message hota hai dene ke liye, office mein?”

Remember when Deepika as Piku was upset with her father Bhashkor over a message? He sent an update about his constipation to her while she was in office.

11. “I don’t want to die of constipation! No one dies of constipation. Elvis Presley did.. uski body bathroom mein mili obviously woh commode par baitha hoga.”

Tbh! Bhashkor Banerjee was so right. Who wants to die from constipation?

12. “Sabka jaane ka raasta already decided hai. Mera bhi. It’ll be through my digestive tract. Mera pran idhar se hi niklega. Let me cycle. I am enjoying.”

Bhashkor knew that his death was pre-decided by destiny. But he made sure to make the most out of his life.

13. “Tumhaare 90 saal ke bacche ko tumhaare saath mein adopt karna padega?…Bilkul, karoge?…Matha kharab nai hai mera.”

Remember when Deepika and Irrfan as Piku and Rana went on a roll date and they had a proposal moment? In a scene, Piku said that if someone wants to marry her…Rana interrupted and added that he would have to adopt her father. While Piku asked if he was interested, Rana replied that he was not crazy enough to do that.

Piku is a story about delving into the relationship of father and daughter with a pinch of toilet humor. As the story progresses, you realize that there’s much more to that. The film is also about the journey of life while sticking to our roots and learning to live with people despite their flaws.

Shoojit’s directorial also featured Moushumi Chatterjee, Jissu Sengupta, and Raghubir Yadav in pivotal roles. Its script was penned by Juhi Chaturvedi. Did you watch Piku? If not, don’t miss it now.

THROWBACK: When Salman Khan said he was doubtful about his future and thought it would be ‘gareeb’

THROWBACK: When Salman Khan said he was doubtful about his future and thought it would be ‘gareeb’

Salman Khan has become a superstar, bhai, and idol for many. Ever since he made his screen debut in 1988 with Biwi Ho To Aisi, the actor has grown from strength to strength. Looking at the stardom he enjoys today, no one would ever imagine that there was a time when he was doubtful about his career and future.

We managed to get hold of an old interview of the Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan actor with filmmaker Karan Johar. In the clip, when the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director asked Salman Khan if he ever thought he would become a superstar, the Tiger 3 actor responded negatively. He said in the show Bollywood Gallery, “Mujhey toh aesa lag raha tha k mera both gareeb future hoga, ekdum doubtful (I thought my future would be doubtful and poor.)”

When quizzed why he had that notion in mind when he was so good-looking, the bhaijaan of Bollywood opined that because of directors, choosing the right stories, and being accepted for his film, Maine Pyar Kiya, he had become a star. But before that, he never thought that he was good-looking. He further recalled in the old interview that when he would enter any party, people wouldn’t even notice him.

He further expressed that when the guests look at a person twice as he makes an entrance, one knows that he has something. But this wasn’t the case with him. Back in the day, no one would acknowledge his presence, Salman stated in a light-hearted way.

While the actor enjoys the status of a megastar, he admitted in an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla that he doesn’t like to be tagged by those titles. The Tiger Zinda Hai star told us, “That is something that I don’t care about. I’m doing my work; people are liking it, and that’s just what it is. Aesa kuch kar nhi diya hai maine apne own par ki superstar ka tag deserve kare (I haven’t done anything on my own that I deserve the tag of a superstar),” Khan stated.

In the same conversation, he also discussed his greatest fear. The actor said that he is scared of respect. He candidly shared, “Respect se darta hoon main. Especially agar kisi ko let down kia hai usse darta hoon. People who love you, the family, the friends, the fans, you should not lose respect in their eyes. Ussi se darta hoon. Baki nothing. (I fear respect, especially the fear of letting someone down. You shouldn’t lose respect in the eyes of those who love you, and that’s what I’m scared of—nothing else.)”

Meanwhile, Salman is currently filming for the highly-anticipated project Sikandar, helmed by AR Murgadoss. The action thriller is expected to have high-octane fight sequences, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the upcoming movie also features Rashmika Mandanna opposite Salman Khan, along with Suniel Shetty and Prateik Babbar in key roles. As of now, it is expected to hit theatres during Eid 2025.

Having said that, Khan is also looking to join hands with Jawan director Atlee Kumar. A source close to the development told us that Salman has given his nod, and the filmmaker is presently working on the screenplay of their alleged movie together.
