Kapoor & Sons Movie Reviews

A Family drama with a twist !!

The movie is about a dysfunctional Indian family … the fights , misunderstandings ,complicated relationships …. something which most of us as Indians can easily relate to.

The story primarily focuses on two brothers ,Fawad khan , a successful writer living in UK and Siddharth Malhotra, also a wannabe writer still trying to find his feet in the US . It also deals with the lives of their parents Rajat Kapur and Ratna Pathak shah who are trying to get their married life back on track.

Not to forget … the tharki buddha … Rishi Kapoor as the grandfather, in an awesome role which really invokes spontaneous laughter with his witty one liners. the old one is as horny as a teenager with raging hormones. .. trying to smoke pot on the sly, watch porn on his I-papad (I-pad ) ,making cheesy comments abt the nurses in the hospital and what not . But he is also a lovable old guy who wants to keep the family together and have a happy family pic with all of them … and hence the title .

Complications occur with the entry of Alia Bhatt ( who does not have much of a role ) ….. she first falls for the “maa ka accha baccha” Fawad and then realizes that she gets along better with the rebellious Sid … this causes a lot of complications in the brothers lives …. how they sort out things forms the rest of the story.

The first half is light with lots of funny moments mainly due to Rishi Kapoor and his amazing potty ,porn and pyt (pretty young things) jokes. .

The second half is more serious .. Rona Dhona … melodrama and a few twist as the climax unfolds . Remember it is a Karan Johar film …….. and there is someone who is not who he seems to be … wont tell who thou( spoiler alert!!!) smile emoticon:)

All the members of the cast have acted well.

“Ladki beautiful ” is quite catchy and will definitely appeal to the young crowd .. nothing much to say abt the music otherwise.

Direction is okay .

My rating : 3 Stars ( ***). I recommend watching the movie primarily for the 1st half and Rishi Kapoor’s acting which really makes it worth every penny spent.

Lovely!! The first thought that will come to your mind after watching the movie.

Excellent,adorable,very pleasant and beautiful is the movie “Kapoor & Sons”.It will make you both laugh(happy) and sad,and eventually tells about the basic beliefs of a family and what is the real meaning of a family.The story brings very much freshness as it is not a conventional family drama movie.It has many aspects and details which keeps the viewer engaged for whole time. The Direction of the movie is very good but it must have been easy as if the story is written so beautifully. Acting is also matching the standards of the story.Rishi Kapoor is as always very good although he just has to sit and deliver his thing.Siddharth Malhotra is fine in his role.Alia Bhatt has also done nice acting.But one of the main element of movie is Fawad Khan he has done excellent acting and at last he makes you love his character. There’s lot to say about this movie and it can continue for paragraphs but keeping it short I would say please go and watch this movie and please tell everyone else to watch it.

A highly subjective review

Dear Shakun Batra,

You made a film about the most boring people one could ever imagine. Yes, the two sons (Fawad and Sidharth) are writers. But they are of the Chetan Bhagat/Madhuri Banerjee variety. Or a genteel Amitav Ghosh/Tarun Tejpal at best.

The father (Rajat Kapoor) is the sort who has like one drink every night. Oh and he is having an affair. Less said about the mother, the better. She does weird stuff like take one son’s novel and give it to the other. For the silliest reason. Wtf? That part would have been interesting if it was expanded upon. But the mother explains it away. And well, things return to normal.

The granddad (Rishi Kapoor) likes to watch porn and is very mischievous – his character is just a collection of the worst sort of clichés. The heroine is your typical obnoxiously modern (shouts a lot and acts like a male, drinks beer (nothing wrong with that) and hits on guys) girl. Her character is also a collection of clichés.

This is NOT a dysfunctional family. There are no pathetic losers in this family. They are all winners who pretend to be dysfunctional. These are the sort of people who have great table manners. They drink fine wine and read Gabriel Garcia Marquez. And thinks that Di Caprio is a great actor. They are the sort of people who are socially mobile.

Nothing interesting happens in the whole film. Just the regular problems of boring regular successful people.

Best Regards, Pimpin.
