Why Kritika Kamra loves for family sagas…

For years, family-centric films have formed the emotional backbone of Hindi cinema; stories rooted in warmth, togetherness and shared values that resonated across generations. But in recent times, as genres have shifted towards thrillers, biopics and darker dramas, the simple joy of clean, feel-good family entertainers has become rare on the big screen. Actor Kritika Kamra, who has consistently chosen diverse and meaningful roles, hopes to contribute to reviving that space with her upcoming film directed by Anusha Rizvi, known for her celebrated debut Peepli Live.

Speaking about the film and the need for such stories, Kritika said, “I really miss those small, sincere films that made you feel seen without trying too hard. The ones that could make you laugh, tear up and smile all in one sitting. Somewhere along the way, those stories that spoke to families — to shared meals, quiet moments and everyday kindness — just faded out. This film with Anusha feels like revisiting that lost world. It’s simple, funny in parts, and deeply human — and I think that’s what we’re all craving again.”
