Plot

Michael, a 40-something happy-go-lucky businessman, is in love with Delna, a pretty young girl in her 20s. On the day of their engagement, a young woman named Sharon, also in her 20s, walks in with her son, claiming to be Michael’s daughter turning his carefree life upside down.

The rest of the film is about discovering whether the girl is, in fact, Michael's biological daughter. The film explores the meaning and importance of family ties and friendship with a comical undertone.[5]

Reviews

The Times of India gave the film a 3 on 5, wrote "The first half drags a bit as the director tries to describe the friendship of Michael and Sivan with some consciously introduced scenes. The tale comes alive in the second half along with humorous situational comedy."; "(Aneesh) Anwar wraps it up with a suspense-filled and sentimental climax which offers a message on friendship and its relevance. Overall, My Great Grandfather is a fun ride that conveys the message that for love and friendship age is not a barrier."[6]
