The family drama film “The Great Indian Family,” starring Vicky Kaushal, had a lackluster performance at the box office during its opening. The film, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Yash Raj Films, managed to earn only approximately ₹1.4 crores on its first day, with a dismal theatre occupancy rate of around 10%. This movie also features performances from Manushi Chhillar, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Sadiya Siddiqui, and Alka Amin.

The film’s plot revolves around Kaushal’s character, Bhajan Kumar, who earns his livelihood by singing religious songs. Bhajan struggles with his romantic relationships due to the respect and reverence people show him. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers that he might be a Muslim. This revelation sets the stage for the film’s exploration of identity, religion, and societal pressures.

The film has received a mixed bag of reviews from critics. Some have hailed it as an average slice-of-life movie that might be worth a one-time watch for Kaushal’s performance. Others have pointed out that the film attempts to navigate an important message but fails to convey it effectively. This highlights the struggle of the film to balance its narrative with the cultural and social issues it aims to tackle.
