The Great Indian Family review: Vicky Kaushal film is an overdose of democracy, diversity and drama

Whenever there is a conflict or difference of opinion within the members of the Tripathi family, they opt for a democratic solution where everyone votes, and arrive at a decision that others happily, or unhappily, accept. This forms the very first pillar of The Great Indian Family (TGIF).

Then comes diversity, and director Vijay Krishna Acharya, in an attempt to send across a message of oneness, harmony and unity in diversity, unknowingly enters the preachy zone. He ends up serving us a cliched social commentary on Hindu-Muslim divide. And what's a family comedy without drama, that's the last and final pillar of TGIF.

And be it performances or the dialogues, the film is dramatic to a point that it loses track in more places than one.
