In Peepli Live (2010) director Anusha Rizvi’s recent sophomore release The Great Shamsuddin Family (currently streaming on JioHotstar), the protagonist Bani Ahmed (Kritika Kamra) has to finish a presentation for a job prospect. But that’s a macguffin. What we really get into is a heartwarmingly-hilarious comedy surrounding a Muslim family, which doesn’t shy away from commenting on the world it inhabits. A newspaper article, which Bani reads, talks about an FIR against a writer. The opening shot of the film has a vision of the Quran and also of George Orwell’s dystopian classic, 1984. A character fears that her husband might have been lynched, and a young Muslim boy brings home a Hindu girl to marry. For most of its part, The Great Shamsuddin Family is another crisis-comedy, a laugh riot full of confusion, but it knows where the laughter stops.
