The trailer for the highly anticipated film Binny and Family has been officially released, showcasing the debut performance of Anjini Dhawan, the niece of actor Varun Dhawan.
This coming-of-age movie explores the theme of generational differences, featuring a dynamic between Anjini’s character and her grandfather, played by veteran actor Pankaj Kapur.
On August 30, 2024, the film’s makers unveiled the trailer across various social media platforms. The 2-minute and 39-second trailer begins with a nod to Karan Johar’s iconic film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. A voiceover states, “It’s all about loving your grandparents,” echoing the famous tagline, “It’s all about loving your parents,” from the Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer.
In the trailer, Anjini Dhawan portrays Binny, a young girl who values her independence. Her grandparents, played by Pankaj Kapur and Himani Shivpuri, move in with her family, leading to a clash of values and perspectives due to their generational differences. The official description of the film highlights the contrast between Binny, a rebellious teenager living in London, and her conservative grandfather from a small town in Bihar. A dramatic event in their lives forces them to confront their differences. The question remains: can they become friends and positively impact each other’s lives?
Viewers have expressed their excitement in the comments section of the trailer on YouTube. One user remarked, “A light-hearted film that will definitely touch hearts. Anjini Dhawan looks promising, and seeing Pankaj Kapur brings joy.” Another comment welcomed Anjini to Bollywood, wishing her luck for her future career. Many comments emphasized the film’s family theme, with one stating, “It’s all about family, and that’s what we love,” while others used heart emojis to convey their enthusiasm.
The cast of Binny and Family also includes Rajesh Kumar and Charu Shankar. The film is a collaboration between Ektaa R Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms, Mahaveer Jain Films, and Waveband Productions, with Shashank Khaitan and Mrighdeep Lamba involved in the project. The film is written and directed by Ssanjay Tripaathy.
Earlier, the first look poster was released, featuring Anjini in a casual outfit with headphones, surrounded by her family. The tagline revealed was, “#HarGenerationKuchKehtaHai” (#EveryGenerationSaysSomething). The poster’s caption read, “Purane zamaane ke sanskaar v/s aajkal ke modern vichaar! Complications se bhari family hai Binny ki, par yeh kahaani hai hum sab ki,” which translates to “Teachings of old times vs. modern thoughts of today! Binny’s family is full of complications, but this is the story of all of us.”
Notably, Karan Johar, the director of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, has already seen the film and praised it. He shared on his Instagram Stories, “I had the pleasure of seeing this gem of a film… it made me cry, laugh, and I walked out feeling like sunshine! My love to my dear friends, @ektarkapoor, @shashankkhaitan, and Mahaveerji! Welcome to the movies, @anjini_dhawan09! You are so lovely in the film!”
Binny and Family is set to hit theaters on September 20, 2024, promising to be a heartwarming exploration of family dynamics and generational differences.
