The trailer for the film ‘The Great Indian Family’, starring Vicky Kaushal and Manushi Chhillar, showcases a typical Bollywood rom-com with a complex family drama and emotional twists.
Vicky Kaushal is a young and charismatic bhajan singer, making him the heartthrob of his town and ruining his romantic life.
The trailer focuses on Vicky Kaushal’s lead character, who is dealing with an identity crisis as he discovers his roots.
The trailer introduces Vicky Kaushal as Bhajan Kumar, a young man deeply rooted in family traditions, with a vibrant life and a big loving family. He is also the master of bhajan singing.
In the beginning of the trailer, Bhajan Kumar narrates his life and proudly calls himself the undisputed master of bhajan and pooja-paath. However, being a bhajan singer puts him in a funny position. Despite his young age and desire to meet girls, women in Balrampur seek his blessings instead of having romantic intentions.
In his search for someone, Vicky Kaushal’s character finds Manushi Chhillar, whom he instantly feels attracted to. Manushi’s character is not only a love interest for him, but also a turning point in Bhajan Kumar’s life. She is depicted as a strong-minded and independent woman.
Everything in Bhajan Kumar’s life seems perfect until he discovers a document revealing that he was actually born Muslim. This revelation turns his life around, leading to his family estranging him and the Muslim community chasing him in anger. Bhajan Kumar feels that God has a morbid sense of humor for putting him in such a difficult position.
Despite having elements of family drama, comedy, and romance, ‘The Great Indian Family’ is not the lighthearted fun ride it initially appeared to be. The trailer showcases top-notch production, with bright colors and great set designs, accompanied by well-done music.
Vicky Kaushal’s portrayal of Bhajan Kumar is a departure from his previous roles, showcasing his versatility and acting range. Manushi Chhillar, after her debut in ‘Prithviraj’, is honing her acting skills in this film. Alongside Vicky Kaushal, the movie also features a talented ensemble cast, including Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Sadiya Siddiqui, and Alka Amin.
‘The Great Indian Family’, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Yash Raj Films, is a strong family drama with a touch of action. It is set to release in theaters on September 22.
