Kritika Kamra Aims to Revive Slice-of-Life Cinema with Anusha Rizvi's New Film

In recent years, as Hindi cinema has shifted towards genres like thrillers, biopics, and darker dramas, the simple joy of clean, feel-good family entertainers has become a rarity on the big screen. However, actor Kritika Kamra aims to help revive that space with her upcoming film directed by Anusha Rizvi, known for her acclaimed debut Peepli Live.

The yet-untitled project, set in Delhi, tells the story of an ordinary family navigating generational gaps, belonging, and sisterhood with gentle humor and emotional honesty. Kamra, who has consistently chosen diverse and meaningful roles, hopes this film will contribute to bringing back the kind of small, sincere stories that once defined beloved Hindi family dramas.

"I really miss those 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," says Kamra. "Somewhere along the way, those stories that spoke to families, to shared meals and everyday kindness, just faded out. This film with Anusha feels like revisiting that lost world."

With Rizvi at the helm, the film promises to blend warmth, reflection, and the kind of truth-driven storytelling that once characterized India's most cherished family-centric cinema. As Kamra prepares to bring this story to life, she hopes it will reignite appreciation for the heartfelt, inclusive narratives that have become increasingly rare in recent times.
