Rishi Kapoor plays Sidharth and Fawad’s granddad who appears to have a fixation on getting envisioned to such a degree, to the point that he needs to know in what manner will he look when he is dead. (Perused: Kapoor and Sons new blurb: Sidharth, Alia, Fawad, Rishi in one casing once more)Īdditionally read: Rishi Kapoor leaves Kapoor and Sons trailer dispatch halfway Shakun Batra appears to have hit the right harmony with the Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, Fawad Khan and Rishi Kapoor starrer. Like a mole on your forehead, it's distracting, embarrassing and obnoxious, but it's all yours.The highly anticipated trailer of Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, Fawad Khan titled Kapoor and Sons is at last out and it offers everything from feelings to family dramatization, sentiment, fun and all that, a performer ought to have. Sure, you didn't get to pick one, but now that you're stuck with one, accept it. This film takes an alternate KJo route, to say that it's all about accepting and forgiving your family. But the fact is, in the scenes where his character breaks down, tears roll down an unforgivably expressionless facade - it leaves a trail but the surface remains firm and creaseless.ĭirector Shakun Batra has matured from a filmmaker solely capable of romcoms to one who can infuse depth into characters and script relationships in all its verity. It would be unfair to say that Siddharth Malhotra sticks out like a sore thumb among these star performers as he tries his best too. Rishi Kapoor, under layers of prosthetic makeup, is appropriately cocky as the naughty grandpa who takes much joy in saying inappropriate things and Rajat Kapoor is a natural as a layered dad.

Veteran Ratna Pathak Shah's endearing, world-weary mother is believable and her ability to fluidly furnish the cynicism of a weathered relationship is priceless. Alia Bhatt manages well as a girl-next-door and her character does much to add a bit of cheer to this otherwise intense film. His range of complex emotions leads to a balanced performance. While many cast members have their moments in this film, it is Fawad Khan who owns it. But the money is in the sequence of events and the build-up to the collective outbursts as parallel situations escalate quickly and occasionally even influence each other.

The film's plot is wafer thin and if you've seen the trailers, you'd have a fair idea of where this one leads. It's about the Kapoor family's endurance of their reality and about their ability to accept and forgive. But this isn't a love triangle, and much less a love story. In the midst of this family drama, there's neighbourhood hottie Tia (Alia Bhatt), who bumps into both the Kapoor siblings, one at a time, resulting in awkward kisses, drunk dancing and a pleasant passage of time. Their arrival is marked by multiple revelations as family secrets spill out, leading to soaring emotions and much heartburn. His grandsons, Arjun (Siddharth Malhotra), a struggling writer and part-time bartender in New Jersey and Rahul (Fawad Khan), an established novelist based in London are immediately summoned by their mother (Ratna Pathak Shah) and father (Rajat Kapoor).

Set in the Nilgiri district of Coonoor, Kapoor & Sons opens to a grandfather (Rishi Kapoor), whose oldest prank of pretending to fall dead takes a grave turn when he actually survives a heart attack.
