What happens

The Great Indian Family is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language comedy drama film written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. It stars Vicky Kaushal as a religious, Hindu Pandit who is revealed to be Muslim by birth. Manushi Chhillar, Manoj Pahwa, and Kumud Mishra appear in supporting roles. The core plot and concept of the film shows similarity with Rabindranath Tagore's novel Gora, though presented in a much more commercial way and not credited anywhere related to the film. The film was released theatrically on 22 September 2023 and received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, emerging as a box-office bomb. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
