The Great Indian Family, featuring Vicky Kaushal and Manushi Chhillar, premiered in cinemas on Friday, garnering ₹1.4 crores in early estimates. The film, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Yash Raj Films, recorded approximately 10 percent occupancy on its opening day, signaling a lukewarm response from audiences.
Vicky Kaushal plays Bhajan Kumar, a devotional singer who faces relationship challenges as women show him reverence due to his profession. His life takes a surprising turn when he discovers a shocking truth about his identity.
Critics have given mixed reviews, with some commending Vicky Kaushal’s earnest performance and the film’s underlying message, while others found it lacking in execution. The Hindustan Times review labeled it an average slice-of-life film.
Vicky Kaushal, known for his affinity for family-oriented movies, hopes that The Great Indian Family will be embraced by audiences for its celebration of the unique bonds within Indian families. Despite its modest box office debut, the film may find its audience over time, especially among those who appreciate heartwarming family narratives.
