The excitement in the Indian film industry is palpable as the release of “The Great Indian Family” draws nearer. This highly anticipated Hindi-language family comedy drama, directed by the talented Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced under the prestigious Yash Raj Films banner by Aditya Chopra, is generating quite a buzz.
Vicky Kaushal, fresh off the success of “Zara Hatke Zara Bachke,” reunites with director Vijay Krishna Acharya to take on a completely different role. In “The Great Indian Family,” Kaushal plays Bhajan Kumar, a character who finds himself caught in a whirlwind of humor, confusion, and identity crises.
The trailer of the film gives us a glimpse into the quaint town of Balarampur, where the story unfolds. Bhajan Kumar, portrayed by Vicky Kaushal, is introduced as a cheerful young man with a penchant for singing. He belts out “Kanhaiya Twitter Pe Aja” and, with a mischievous grin, reveals his full name: Ved Vyas Tripathi. Bhajan Kumar’s family is deeply rooted in Balarampur, belonging to the pandit community, and they have resided in this charming town for generations. But there’s a twist—his only complaint is the lack of opportunities for dating, as girls in the town often seek his blessings by touching his feet.
Enter Manushi Chillar, who plays a pivotal role in the narrative. As Manushi’s character enters Balarampur, Bhajan Kumar is smitten and goes out of his way to win her over. Everything seems to be going smoothly until Bhajan Kumar’s world is turned upside down. He interrupts the romantic atmosphere with a startling revelation – he is not who he appears to be. In a surprising turn of events, Bhajan Kumar is unveiled as a Muslim, not a Hindu as initially assumed. Manushi Chillar’s character, his love interest, becomes a central figure in this unexpected twist. While the trailer doesn’t reveal more, it leaves us with the intriguing tagline, “the biggest confusion of the year.”
Apart from Vicky Kaushal and Manushi Chillar, “The Great Indian Family” boasts an ensemble cast featuring seasoned actors like Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Yashpal Sharma, Sadiya Siddiqui, Alka Amin, Srishti Dixit, Bhuvan Arora, Aasif Khan, Ashutosh Ujjwal, and Bharti Perwani. With such a talented lineup, the film promises to deliver stellar performances and memorable moments.
For Vicky Kaushal, “The Great Indian Family” marks his second release of the year. Following the success of “Zara Hatke Zara Bachke” opposite Sara Ali Khan, this family entertainer has already garnered acclaim and is poised to be another box-office hit. Audiences are eagerly waiting to see how Vicky Kaushal’s versatile acting skills shine in this unique comedy drama. See article here
