  "account": "Parivarik ManuRanjan is a sweet and simple film starring Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari, currently streaming on Sony LIV. Directed by Varun V Sharma, this movie takes place in Lucknow and follows the story of a 40-year-old unmarried man named Ranjan Dubey, portrayed by Tripathi. Ranjan lives alone in a large house with three married sisters and works as a property manager and house help through his friend Pandey ji, who posts the need for such services on social media.\n\nAditi Rao Hydari plays Helen, the female house help that Ranjan hires. At first, he is hesitant about having a full-time female house help living with him, but eventually, he agrees to take her on. As Helen becomes more involved in Ranjan's life, the two develop a romantic connection. However, there is a twist in the story regarding Helen's past that Ranjan learns about later.\n\nThe film was written by Brijendra Kala, Ali Abbas Zafar, and Varun V Sharma, with Sharma also serving as the director. The movie begins with a funny scene and offers several comedic moments throughout. As Helen enters Ranjan's life, the film takes a romantic turn, with cute moments between the two leading to a potential happy ending. However, the pacing remains consistent throughout, and the dramatic scenes fail to have the desired impact.\n\nThe performances of Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari are the film's strong points. Tripathi proves himself to be a versatile actor once again, while Hydari looks beautiful and performs well in her role. The chemistry between the two actors is quite good, adding to the film's charm. Supporting actors Brijendra Kala, Sunita Rajwar, and Mukesh Tiwari also deliver commendable performances, with Tiwari's cameo leaving a lasting impression.\n\nThe music in Parivarik ManuRanjan is average, with no standout songs. However, watching Aditi Rao Hydari dance in the film is enjoyable. Overall, Parivarik ManuRanjan is a sweet and simple film suitable for family viewing over the weekend. If you're looking for something light and entertaining to watch together, this Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari-starrer would make a decent choice.",
