BJP slammed the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader Jitendra Awhad after his wife urged the children to read the biography of Osama Bin Laden.
Binny (Anjini Dhawan) lives with her parents in the United Kingdom. For someone who grew up in a nuclear family with considerate parents, Binny’s life turns upside down when her grandparents from India decide to pay her family a visit, consequently barging into her privacy and personal space.
Will Binny be able to get used to the new normal or she won’t? Does Binny learn how to be compassionate for her grandparents at the end of it all? Does it end well? Watch Binny And Family to find out.
Binny And Family is a maturely written and deftly handled family drama with an exceptional second half that focuses on the dynamic between the protagonist that is Binny, and her grandfather. The film is well intentioned and doesn’t go overboard with its messaging by being too preachy; It isn’t melodramatic but is rather, subtle but effective.
Binny And Family is very relatable on many levels and the conflicts hit home. Anjini Dhawan and Pankaj Kapur‘s scenes in the film, particularly in the second half, make for the film’s best moments. Pankaj Kapoor’s character giving life lesson’s to Binny on a bench, on a chilly night in UK is extremely beautiful. Naman Tripathy as Binny’s best friend lightens up the film with his effervescent personality. The music in the movie is very soothing and the final song is a literal tear-jerker.
Binny And Family has a routine and predictable first half. It’s in the second half where the movie gains momentum and explores deeper and meaningful conflicts. The movie is much lengthier than it should have ideally been. It can easily be trimmed by around 20-25 minutes for greater impact. Binny And Family could have gone deeper understanding Binny psychologically and why she is the rebel of a teenager that she is for a good part of the film.
A good part of the film is English-spoken. While this is not a criticism, it is something audience should prepare themselves for. Unlike The Buckingham Murders which had two versions (Hindi and Hinglish), Binny And Family doesn’t have any such provision.
Anjini Dhawan as Binny, being a debutant, gives an impressive performance. It is surprising how well she does in the breakdown sequences. The pre-climax scene has her acting caliber on full display. Pankaj Kapur as Binny’s grandfather is the heart of the movie. The exceptional actor elevates the movie to another level. Rajesh Kumar and Charu Shankar as the parents are wonderful. Naman Tripathy as Binny’s best friend is amazing. He keeps the film light and enjoyable. Himani Shivpuri as the grandmother takes us back to her Hum Aapke Hai Koun and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge days. Other supporting actors in the movie, do their job well.
Binny And Family is a heart-touching film. The writing is deft and effective. It is a must watch for teens especially, along with their parents and grandparents.
