Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari share the screen for the first time in Parivarik ManuRanjan, a Hindi romantic comedy now streaming on Sony LIV. Set in Lucknow, the film follows a bachelor whose search for a bride takes an unexpected turn when a new house help arrives and the neighbourhood starts asking questions.
Watch the official trailer
A bachelor, a new arrival and a neighbourhood full of opinions
Tripathi plays Ranjan Dubey, a man whose marriage prospects seem to be everybody’s business. Hydari plays Helen, who starts working in his home. Ranjan grows close to her just as relatives and neighbours begin making up their own minds about what her arrival means.
The trailer adds a mystery to the romance when the police come looking for someone named Manu Joshi. Suddenly, the people who were happy to speculate about Ranjan’s love life have a new reason to question Helen. The trailer leaves her connection to the name open, giving the film a second question to answer alongside whether the two will end up together.
Why the first-time pairing fits the premise
Tripathi’s Ranjan spends much of the trailer reacting to other people’s certainty about his life. Hydari’s Helen has the opposite problem. Everyone wants an explanation from her, and every answer risks giving the neighbourhood something else to talk about. That imbalance gives the film room for comedy even when the conversation turns serious.
The supporting cast includes Brijendra Kala, Mukesh Tiwari, Sunita Rajwar and Vijayant Kohli. Varun V Sharma directs and shares story and screenplay credit with Kala and Ali Abbas Zafar. Kala also wrote the dialogue. The film brings together Bhanushali Studios Limited and AAZ Films.
