A Haveli, an Unusual Bond and a Mystery

Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari are all set to bring a fresh on-screen pairing to audiences with their upcoming film, Parivarik ManuRanjan. Blending romance, comedy, family drama and unexpected twists, the film promises a light-hearted yet intriguing story. The Hindi Original film will premiere exclusively on SonyLIV on November 13, 2026.
What makes the project particularly interesting is that it marks the first on-screen collaboration between Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari. Both actors are known for their distinctive screen presence, and their pairing brings a new dynamic to a story built around unusual relationships, everyday situations and a series of unexpected developments.
What Is the Story of Parivarik ManuRanjan?
Set in Lucknow, the film revolves around Ranjan Dubey, played by Pankaj Tripathi, a bachelor living in a large ancestral mansion. His otherwise familiar routine takes an unexpected turn when Helen, played by Aditi Rao Hydari, enters his life.
Helen arrives in Lucknow from Delhi as a property manager and becomes involved in managing Ranjan's household. However, her arrival soon becomes a subject of discussion among the neighbours, with people beginning to question her presence in the house.
The trailer offers glimpses of an unusual equation between the two characters, with humour and romance forming the foundation of their relationship. However, the narrative takes an interesting turn when questions surrounding Helen's identity emerge. The arrival of the police, who are looking for a woman named Manu Joshi, adds another layer of mystery to the story.
As suspicions grow and the situation becomes increasingly complicated, Ranjan finds himself caught in a series of amusing and unexpected circumstances. The film appears to combine the warmth of family relationships with situational comedy and a touch of suspense.
Parivarik ManuRanjan is directed by Varun Sharma, who has also co-written the story and screenplay with Brijendra Kala and filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar. Brijendra Kala has additionally penned the dialogues.
The film is produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Kamlesh Bhanushali, Himanshu Kishan Mehta and Alicia Zafar, with Ali Abbas Zafar serving as the creative producer. It brings together Bhanushali Studios Limited and AAZ Films.
Apart from the lead pair, the film features Brijendra Kala, Mukesh Tiwari, Sunita Rajwar, Vijayant Kohli, Karan Chanana and Eklavya Chaudhary in important roles.
With a familiar setting, an unusual relationship and a story that combines humour with mystery, Parivarik ManuRanjan is gearing up to offer audiences a family-oriented entertainer. It remains to be seen how viewers respond to Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari's first on-screen collaboration when the film premieres on SonyLIV on November 13.
