The trailer for Binny and family has already been released. The coming-of-age drama features newcomers Naman Tripathy and Anjini Dhawanwho is the niece of Varun DhawanThe video begins with two NRI school students sitting on top of a car trunk, eating their snacks and talking about how difficult it is to mingle with their grandparents. Soon after, we are introduced to Anjini’s character Binny. She is not just a student, but an outgoing girl who smokes cigarettes in the bathroom, loves to make videos, party with friends and drink. When Binny is partying late, her mother, played by Charu Shankar, calls to check on her, but she gets irritated and asks her to “chill out”. A few seconds later, the teenager’s father, played by Rajesh Kumar, announces that her parents are flying in from India and will be staying with them for two months. Clearly, Binny is not happy about their arrival.
Things get even more dramatic when Binny’s grandparents, played by Pankaj Kapur and Himani Shivpuri, start imposing restrictions on her. They ask her to eat with everyone, come home on time and not stay in the bathroom for too long. The girl is even seen talking to her friend on the phone and telling her how her grandmother stitched her rough jeans. In the meantime, Binny’s parents also talk about how her parents would not understand the concept of “space”.
In a stern tone, Pankaj Kapur tells Binny: “Ladki jaat ho. Kuch anhoni ho gaya to kisko muh dikhange hum log.” She is then seen running through the streets and screaming in distress. Viewers also see how the generation gap creates a distance between Binny’s father and grandfather.
We also get a sweet message about how the communication gap actually exacerbates the generation gap. Near the end, a hilarious scene shows Binny’s grandfather finding a poster of Dr. Dre in his room and mistaking him for a real doctor.
