The Great Indian Family

The great indian family is a family film directed by vijay krishna acharya.

Vicky kaushal is superb in this loud role. It demanded frim him and he gave it his all. Manushi chillar is decent. Kumud mishra and manoj pahwa are brilliant. None of the other characters get that much space. The cast did good.

The romantic angle of vicky and manushi was forceful and lacked any emotional pull. In some sequences, the film tries to preach instead of showing. The screenplay does lose its steam sometimes. The music is good frankly. There are some catchy songs sung pretty well. Its a good film in my opinion.

Tone, Script & Story: The life of a traditional Bhajan singer witnesses a havoc when he comes to know he is Muslim by birth. The situation is more intense than it appears because the family in which he has grown is Brahmin family of pundits.

There comes a moment in movie when ace pundit returns and grabs the victim by heart. The victim touches his feet and this my friends was the most epic moment in the movie.

The other epic moment is when ace pundit gradually reveals the truth followed by victim's speech.

Music is average that goes well when we watch the movie. Direction and acting along with cinematic elements ace!

I today remember my first review was on somewhat similar story "Dharam Sankat Mein" and today I have crossed more than 500 reviews.

Final Verdict: The movie highlights the world would be dull with few colors. The multiple colors of Unity in Diversity make it beautiful. Cheers to this movie which celebrates brotherhood between Hindus and Muslims in current times!

Imagine a "PANDIT" who discovers that he is, in fact, a MUSLIM - it's a significant revelation, a really big deal. There's immense potential to turn this into dark humor, incorporating slapstick comedy and transforming it into a masala entertainer with a subtle infusion of social messages emphasizing that, fundamentally, nothing matters more than humanity. However, despite its novel intention and an impressive star cast, the movie falters in tightening the script, delivering adrenaline-thumping music, and executing emotional manipulation. The music, in fact, is so mediocre that you might find yourself skipping it during the movie; none of the tracks are even recognizable from TikToks. Viewers struggle to connect with the emotional scenes, so the only saving grace becomes the occasional giggles, the charisma of Vicky Kaushal, and the captivating presence of Manushi Chhillar (though not necessarily praising her acting skills, just admiring her beauty). If it weren't for the fact that it's available for streaming, I might not have bothered watching it at all.

In an era filled with predictable narratives, "The Great Indian Family," released on 22 September 2023, navigates the precarious terrains of religious identity through the lens of family drama. Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and backed by Yash Raj Films, the movie stars Vicky Kaushal in a role that challenges the conventions of faith and identity.

Though the twist in the storyline-Vicky Kaushal's character discovering he's Muslim by birth while being a devout Hindu-was revealed in the trailer, making the film somewhat predictable, it's the execution that truly counts. Vicky Kaushal delivers a noteworthy performance, flanked by the seasoned talents of Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Yashpal Sharma, who bring depth to the story. While Manushi Chhillar and the rest of the cast appear only for limited durations, their presence adds value to the overall narrative.

The film's music, composed by Pritam, serves its purpose but lacks the stickiness to remain in your memory. The background score by Kingshuk Chakravarty, although impactful, tends to overpower the scenes at times. Some dialogues, while contributing to the film's secular message, could have been better crafted or perhaps omitted for a smoother narrative flow. Both the direction and editing, while competent, leave room for improvement.

In conclusion, "The Great Indian Family" succeeds in being more than just a family drama; it's a societal reflection holding up a mirror to our own prejudices and beliefs. Despite a few shortcomings, the film delivers a robust secular message that rings true in today's times. A worthwhile watch, earning a solid 8 to 10.

Nowadays audience taste changed, they liked to see unnecessary action , hate other religions, caste and society. They also liked to see those movies who described fake patriotism on big screen. Big budget, big publicity and audience mad too see.

But this movie said good things about each religion,each cultural,each peoples. This movie talk about we all are different with each other but humanity is same inside us.

I don't want to give any spoiler here, but after watch I feel that movie doesn't work and audience neglected because this is the not right time to release these kind of movie. Well Everyone taste is different, but I liked it .
