Binny and Family Movie Review : If you take a cue from Karan Johar's K3G , Binny and Family is all about loving your grandparents. Just hope yours aren't too traditionalist or racist, or it might be quite a challenge. Luckily for Binny (Anjini Dhawan), her grandparents (Pankaj Kapur and Himani Shivpuri) are a bit traditionalist but not too racist.
Ssanjay Tripaathy's Binny and Family explores the cultural and generational clash between Binny and her strict grandfather, with the long-winded journey towards their eventual acceptance of each other's ways. Who Is ‘Binny And Family’ Actress Anjini Dhawan? All You Need To Know About Varun Dhawan’s Niece . Binny is an 18-year-old living in London with her parents, Vinay (Rajesh Kumar) and Radhika (Charu Shankar).
I wonder if the parents' names are a tribute to Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao, the director duo behind films like Lucky: No Time for Love, Sanam Teri Kasam, an d Yaariyaan 2 . Binny loves breaking curfews, has a flair for drama, and harbours a crush on the popular boy at school, Dhruv (Tai Khan). Her best friend, BP (Naman Tripaathy), is irritatingly obsessed with social media and is quite a classist.
Binny's world is upended when her grandparents come from Bihar for their annual visit, where she is forced to compromise her private space or her English way of living. Perhaps it's due to his strict upbringing, or maybe it's from watching too much Baghban , but Vinay and Radhika act overly ' sanskaari ' around Vinay's par.
