Actress Juhi Babbar has shared her excitement about “The Great Shamsuddin Family,” calling it a refreshing change from the serious roles she has recently portrayed. She praised director Anusha Rizvi for providing her with the “freedom to play with so many expressions.”
Juhi, the daughter of Bollywood star Raj Babbar, took to Instagram to post a series of images from the dubbing studio. She expressed her thoughts, saying, “The Great Shamsuddin Family was a refreshing change from the kind of work I have been doing lately (more serious and intense). Of course, even in The Great Shamsuddin Family, I think I was probably the only one with truly intense scenes.”
What particularly thrilled her were the lighter moments in the film. “What I really enjoyed, though, were all the lighter moments and the freedom to play with so many expressions thanks to our director, @anusharizvi2018,” she shared.
Juhi referred to the posted images as a “small glimpse of the dubbing” process. She elaborated, “These pictures are from the dubbing studio, and this is just a small glimpse of the dubbing I did for the film. Even in those 10–12 minutes at the mic, there were so many expressions to explore and live through all over again… AND THIS SONG, WE ALL SANG LIVE !!”
She encouraged her followers to watch the film, saying, “Have you watched the film yet? If not, please, please do. It is a film I truly enjoyed working on, made with some of the best people, and one that has given me some of my most cherished memories and friends for life, namely my sisters, @kkamra & @shreyadhan13.”
The film, directed by Anusha Rizvi, is a slice-of-life drama shot entirely in Delhi, celebrating the city’s everyday humor, warmth, and chaos. It features Juhi Babbar, veteran actress Farida Jalal, and Shreya Dhanwanthary in pivotal roles.
Set over the course of one day in Delhi, the narrative follows Bani as her mothers, aunts, cousins, and former romantic interests converge on her apartment, each bringing their own emergencies. As she navigates interfaith complexities, generational conflicts, and family expectations, Bani faces a choice between pursuing international career opportunities or remaining with her family.
