Good movies are not box office hit & collector of money. The movie is all about these days problem when country is busy discussing all the time Hindu Muslim, Ghar wapsi etc. Can a family change behaviour/ relationship with their son/daughter if it comes to know their kid is from different religion? How can kid change it in his/ her 20s? Neither Muslims nor Hindus of this country can be removed in hundreds of years in today's world. Why strain relations & stress so much. Dialogues are meaningful. Satire is applaudable. Well-done makers and actors

The Great Indian Family Reviews

Vijay Krishna Acharya’s The Great Indian Family, an endlessly moving film that is suffused with good humour, trains its lens on such adults but speaks in the easy language of a child

Full Review | Jan 15, 2024

The latest YRF film is a genial and gamely comedy that stays above stereotypes.

Full Review | Sep 22, 2023

Writer-director Vijay Krishna Acharya addresses the rising hate-mongering in society with a deft touch.

Well-meaning but simplistic.

The Great Indian Family has a genuine message but fall short in execution.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 22, 2023

The Great Indian Family sees rising intolerance as a game of snakes and ladders and democracy as a ritual for arriving at a domestic decision. Voting may begin at home, sure, but the venom now runs too deep.

The Great Indian Family could have been a film of far greater acuity, but the broadsides that it aims against narrow-mindedness through the story of a family as a microcosm of a society and a nation do find their mark.

If you want to be brave, the writing needs to match: here, even such wonderful actors like Kumud Mishra, Manoj Pahwa, Sadi Siddiqui stand no chance. Neither does the always watchable Vicky Kaushal.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 22, 2023

Though he tries hard, there's something amiss about the whole narrative, which doesn't let the characters talk to you.

All I can really do is be surprised at the fact that Vijay Krishna Acharya got the green light to remake Dharmputra; he got to hire a cast and crew; he got to film everything; he got it past the CBFC; and it’s now running theatrically.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 22, 2023

Despite the intriguing plot line, The Great Indian Family remains banal. You leave the theatre with little except the formidable enthusiasm of Vicky Kaushal.

The Great Indian Family Review: Vicky Kaushal film is serious about being preachy

Vicky kaushal-starrer 'the great indian family' released in theatres on friday, september 22. planning to watch the film read our review first..

Listen to Story

• 'The Great Indian Family' released in cinemas on September 22.
• The film stars Vicky Kaushal, Kumud Mishra and Manoj Pahwa among others.
• It has been directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya.

Cast & Crew

Vicky Kaushal Actor

Release Date: 22 Sep, 2023

When Bhajan Kumar (Vicky Kaushal) sings ‘Kanhaiya Twitter pe aaja,’ you are enthralled and hooked. That is the kind of screen presence the actor demands. Kaushal carries all of that with a sense of sincerity and innocence in his film ‘The Great Indian Family,’ but does the film rise above his charismatic presence? Let’s find out.

‘The Great Indian Family’ is set in a small town in North India where you meet Bhajan Kumar aka Billu’s family. Being a Pandit is a matter of both pride and 'business' to them. While Billu serenades fans with his voice, his father (Kumud Mishra) is a renowned priest of the town. Theirs is a typical Indian family, bristling with chaotic characters. At one point, Billu is seen referring to them as ‘snakes’ involved in a snake-and-ladder game.

Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, the man behind ‘Thugs of Hindostan,’ the Vicky Kaushal film does not shy away from wearing its intention on its sleeves. It is a film set out to preach and that it does. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but exploring the subject seems timely, considering the volatile climate we live in.

Vicky is exceptional as Bhajan Kumar. He delivers an earnest performance and is supported by Kumud Mishra and Manoj Pahwa’s excellent screen presence. Manushi Chillar appears in the film for two songs and doesn’t really add anything to the screenplay.

The film’s dialogues are contemporary and relatable. But moments where they try to play on the entire 'Hindu-Muslim' angle feel a bit stretched, but even that is intentional, meant to evoke both laughter and some serious thinking over the subject.

The script is simple and non-complicated. The story is predictable to the T. But thankfully, that doesn’t entirely take away from the experience of watching the movie.

The songs are forgetful, and the direction is very one-toned. The film keeps it simple and has a running time of less than two hours, which works in its favour. If it had been longer, 'The Great Indian Family' would have become a complete snooze fest.

‘The Great Indian Family’ is your two-hour lesson on ‘being human,’ which is partly boring, partly preachy.

'The Great Indian Family' Review: Vicky Kaushal shines in a fluffy film on harmony

The film uses the super safe route to liberal, progressive thinking – a family comedy-drama set in the heartland

Top Stories

Watching The Great Indian Family (TGIF) gives rise to one thought: for how long should one applaud average story-telling, simplistic narratives and convenient plot coincidences solely because they are well-intentioned? A few weeks back, we overlooked Jawan ’s monster-sized cinematic loopholes because it had style, pizzazz and a significant (some would say, brave) idea delivered with aplomb by a certain Shah Rukh Khan.

The Great Indian Family makes the same demand from us. The crux of Vicky Kaushal’s family entertainer is an issue that has polarised India – Hindu-Muslim disunity. It talks about religion bravely, mentions words that have dominated WhatsApp chats and newsroom debates, and preaches about communal harmony. Much needed, no doubt, but the problem is that these extremely sensitive topics get the typical Bollywood, colour-washed treatment robbing them of their nuance or complexities. Thus, it’s hard to take it seriously.

TGIF uses the super safe route to liberal, progressive thinking – a family comedy-drama set in the Indian heartland. Writer-Director Vijay Krishna Acharya zooms in on a fictitious town Balrampur (which looks curiously like Varanasi) where we are introduced to Ved Vyas Tripathi aka Billu aka Bhajan Kumar (Vicky Kaushal), a happy-go-lucky devotional singer and son of a respected Hindu priest (Kumud Mishra). Circumstances lead him to enter a Muslim-dominated area in his town. It’s a culture shock for our devout Hindu boy but while ghettoisation is a sad reality of our times, here it is played out for laughs. It’s okay because through Billu’s discovery of India, the director perhaps wanted to convey the message that beyond the clothes, colours, modes of greeting and food, Hindus and Muslims share the same DNA.

All is well in Billu’s life until an earth shattering revelation about the possibility of him being a Muslim tears his family apart. How does he deal with his identity crisis? Will his once-loving family accept him? What impact does it have on a divided society?

The story of TGIF presented many interesting possibilities – what if, an extremely religious Hindu or Muslim, taught to ‘otherise’ and discriminate, actually belongs to that ‘other community’? It could have been an indepth and even layered exploration of religion and identity but writer-director Vijay Krishna Acharya stays at the top of the sugarcoated layer. The film steers clear of any politics and takes care not to be offensive to anyone. Instead, the focus is on the families and some half-hearted villains in the form of a competitive priest and his son.

And that’s a pity because there are references galore to the real villains in the entire issue – bigotry, fake news spread by social media, inherent biases and manipulations. It gives fleeting mentions to terms like Anti-Romeo squad, ‘ghar wapsi’, ‘anti-national’ etc. but that’s as far as its politics goes.

The rest looks and feels synthetic. What feels real is Vicky Kaushal’s sincere performance. He is charming, goofy and extremely likeable even in an under-developed role. Among the supporting cast, only Manoj Pahwa as a prejudiced uncle and Kumud Mishra as his humane father make an impression. Manushi Chillar, with a blue streak in her hair, is just there as eye candy.

In the Tripathi family, all issues are resolved through a ballot box, unimaginatively called ‘democracy’. Perhaps it’s the director’s metaphoric plea to restore the true essence of democracy. And in the climax, Billu gives a rousing speech on religious unity that turns the tide in his favour with the end credits featuring a song with all parties singing together on the need for harmony. Sigh, if only real life was a Bollywood film!

The Great Indian Family Review: Vicky Kaushal Is In Fine Fettle In Rambunctious Dramedy

The great indian family review: the support that vicky's energetic performance receives from the rest of the cast - kumud mishra and manoj pahwa in particular - stands out..

Five years after the Thugs of Hindostan debacle, the team of producer Aditya Chopra and writer-director Vijay Krishna Acharya is back with a rambunctious dramedy that, notwithstanding a clutch of trivial contrivances, makes amends of sorts. It delivers a welcome "unity in diversity" message in an entertaining, unpretentious way.

Its advocacy of pluralism and inclusivity, no matter how facile the methods that The Great Indian Family employs are, makes perfect sense, especially in the current socio-political climate in which othering is one of our favourite collective pastimes.

The Great Indian Family , which celebrates the beauty of a dynamic nation's time-tested syncretism, traverses down a somewhat laborious path in reaching the conclusion that a mahaul (environment) and a mohalla (neighbourhood) that lack variety and try to impose a single colour and credo on everybody should be anathema to all right-thinking people.

For all its missteps, which are more in the nature of the tics that popular Hindi cinema cannot usually do without, the film deserves to be commended for talking up the need for harmony at a time when segments of Bollywood are falling over each other to profit from narratives that are dipped in venom and vitriol.  

The Great Indian Family  is about a successful bhajan singer whose life is turned upside down when a letter that arrives like a bolt from the blue claims that his religious identity is different from that of his father, a Hindu priest revered by one and all in the small town of Balrampur.

Ved Vyas Tripathi, alias Billu, is "Bhajan Kumar" (Vicky Kaushal), the undisputed king of the devotional songs circuit. He has a fan following to die for. And his father is the go-to man for every major religious ceremony in town, one of which presents Billu, as a schoolboy, to show the world his singing skills.  

Billu believes that life is like is a game of snakes and ladders and his family members are the poisonous ones snapping at his heels. His fear comes true when it turns out that he isn't a Hindu although he was raised as one.

The crisis that the discovery of his origins sparks - his father Siyaram Tripathi (Kumud Mishra) is away on his annual pilgrimage when a letter from a dead man divulges the truth of his birth - drives a wedge between Billu and the rest of the family. He is all but thrown out of the flock and a vicious social media campaign threatens to end his career.

A big wedding is up ahead and Billu's uncle, Balak Ram Tripathi (Manoj Pahwa), who is in charge of the family in the absence of his elder brother, decides to keep the bhajan singer out of the fold for fear of losing the lucrative contract.

Although Billu has no clue why everybody thinks that he is no longer the person he was, his religion gives those that want to see his family come to grief a stick to beat him with. He resolves to take the blows on the chin until it becomes absolutely clear that he has no option but to stand up and be counted.

The tone of the 112-minute film's opening moments belies the serious turn that it takes just ahead of the halfway mark. Billu, in his own voice, narrates his back story and introduces the audience to his family - his father, his uncle, his bua (Alka Amin), his chachi (Sadiya Siddiqui) and his twin sister Gunja (Srishti Dixit).

He also throws in a quick reference to a rival Balrampur priest (Yashpal Sharma) and his son (Aasif Khan), who are bent upon countering the goodwill that Billu's sagacious father enjoys in the community. The stage is thus set for a tussle between the two families for the religious rituals that are up for grabs - a battle in which the Tripathis always have their noses ahead.

In an early scene, The Great Indian Family appears to be heading in the wrong direction. Billu and two pals enter a Muslim-dominated locality to stop a boy called Abdul from a romantic rendezvous. The trio calls themselves the "anti-Majnu squad". The terms that they use before they go about scaring off Abdul - no man's land, surgical strike, et all - suggest a problematic mindset.

But what exactly the screenwriter is driving at becomes clear when in the very next sequence, Billu and his friends receive instant comeuppance. A feisty young girl from Jalandhar, Jasmine (Manushi Chhillar), who, it is soon revealed, is also a crooner and dancer, puts them in their place. She schools them on respecting those that are different from them.

Sufficiently chastised by the belligerent Jasmine, Billu and his friends visit Abdul's home to apologise to him. There they learn that Abdul's brother Pintu is the actor who plays Kumbhakarna in Balrampur's Ramlila. Their mother refuses to let Billu leave without making tea for the boys. The encounter helps the protagonist see the other side of the picture.

That is the thrust of what The Great Indian Family is trying to tell an audience that is increasingly told to believe the exact opposite. In the garish, high-pitched, seemingly 'uncool' world that Billu and his devout Hindu family inhabit, cinematographer Ayananka Bose revels in heightening the loud colours that dominate the elaborate and busy spaces.

The over-wrought visuals sit well with the discourse that runs through The Great Indian Family , which sees Vicky Kaushal in fine fettle. The support that his energetic performance receives from the rest of the cast - Kumud Mishra and Manoj Pahwa in particular - stands out.

The script does not, however, do justice to the hero's romantic interest - the outspoken and assertive Jasmine, played by Manushi Chhillar. The character, especially because of the ideas that she espouses, deserved more play.

The Great Indian Family could have been a film of far greater acuity, but the broadsides that it aims against narrow-mindedness through the story of a family as a microcosm of a society and a nation do find their mark.
