When Dreams and Family Call at the Same Time; The Great Shamsuddin Family Trailer Is Out

JioHotstar just dropped a trailer that perfectly captures the chaos we all secretly live for—“The Great Shamsuddin Family”. The X post teased, “Jab sapne bhi pukaar rahe ho aur parivaar bhi… toh kiski sunoge?” and honestly, if that doesn’t speak to anyone who’s ever tried to meet a deadline while dodging Aunties, we don’t know what does. The film streams exclusively from December 12, 2025, and stars Kritika Kamra as Bani Ahmed, a young writer juggling a 12-hour work crisis against the backdrop of family drama in Delhi.

The trailer bursts with vibrant, chaotic energy—siblings bickering, elders offering unsolicited advice, and just enough humor to make you laugh at your own family. Veterans like Farida Jalal and Sheeba Chaddha anchor the comedy with sharp timing, making the household feel simultaneously authentic and cinematic. Through every mishap, you sense Bani’s struggle between following her dreams and honoring her roots.

Director Anusha Rizvi makes a welcome return to feature films after her 2010 satirical hit Peepli Live. The storytelling cleverly balances emotional stakes with laugh-out-loud moments, giving viewers both warmth and wit in a single two-minute trailer. With Rizvi at the helm, it’s more than a family comedy—it’s a social snapshot told through love, chaos, and inevitable misunderstandings.

The ensemble cast tags—Purab Kohli, Juhi Babbar, Dolly Alluwalia, Rana Pratap Senger, and others—have already boosted online buzz, proving that star power and a heartfelt story can create excitement even before the premiere. By the looks of it, Bani’s 12-hour journey is going to be one wild ride we won’t want to miss.
