Blending family drama, romance and humour, the film is pitched as a festive entertainer. Hindustan Times has exclusively learnt when the film will premiere on the streaming platform.
The release date announcement
HT can confirm that Parivarik ManuRanjan, directed by Varun V Sharma, will premiere on Sony LIV on November 13, 2026, shortly after Diwali. The film’s teaser was released last week, offering a glimpse of a light-hearted story about family relationships, bonds and the everyday situations that bring people together. With a mix of humour, romance and family drama, the makers are hoping to give audiences a film they can enjoy with their loved ones.
What the actors have to say about the upcoming film
Pankaj says the film’s appeal lies in its everyday characters and the humour that comes naturally with family relationships. Sharing what he enjoyed about the project, the actor says, “What I liked about the film is its simplicity, relatable characters and the little moments of humour that make family stories so special. It has the warmth of family, a touch of romance and the kind of fun that makes for a perfect festive watch. I had a wonderful time being part of this film and look forward to audiences enjoying this delightful ride with their loved ones.”
Aditi marks her first on-screen collaboration with Pankaj. Talking about her character and their experience working together, she adds, “It’s a film that wraps romance, humour and family drama into one heartfelt package, the kind you want to watch with the people you love. I had such a lovely time with my character, discovering her quirks and the little ways she connects with everyone around her. And sharing the screen with Pankaj ji for the first time was truly a joy. His humour is so effortless, so natural, that it made every scene feel lighter and far more fun.”
