Binny And Family Trailer Out

The trailer for Binny And Family introduces Anjini Dhawan's character, Binny, a rebellious teenager. The video begins with two NRI students discussing the challenges of connecting with their grandparents. Binny, a girl who smokes, parties, and films videos, faces a clash when her grandparents, played by Pankaj Kapur and Himani Shivpuri, visit from India. They impose strict rules that irritate Binny, leading to tension and comedy.

Her parents, Charu Shankar and Rajesh Kumar, struggle with the generational divide, while Pankaj Kapur’s character sternly warns Binny about her behaviour. The trailer highlights the generational gap and communication issues, culminating in a humorous moment where Binny’s grandfather mistakes a Dr. Dre poster for a real doctor.

Varun Dhawan, her uncle, attended the trailer launch to show his support. Addressing the occasion, Varun said that while he is proud of Anjini, he and his family have no role in her achievements. "It’s a good film, and that’s why I’m here," he said, noting that his father, veteran filmmaker David Dhawan, also did not launch him in his career.

Varun praised Anjini's independent efforts, saying, "She has done it on her own, and I am very proud of her." He shared the trailer on Instagram, expressing his excitement: “Anjini Dhawan, this is so good. Welcome to the movies."
