Critic Review
Kapoor & Sons (2016) The film is about this not so perfect family, where each of these members have their own flaws. It is basically a story about two brothers, a very successful Rahul (Fawad Khan) and an under-achiever Arjun (Sidharth Malhotra), who come to Coonoor, a hill station in Tamil Nanu to visit their grandfather (Rishi Kapoor). Rahul is a successful novelist who is the ideal son of the family, the golden boy who is perfect, nice and very loving. Meanwhile, Arjun is the struggling, odd or say disreputable member of the family. Like any two siblings, these brothers also have love, rivalry and a bit of jealousy amongst each other, which is shown in a very subtle way by the director. Tia (Alia Bhatt) has a typical girl next door character that one will instantly fall in love with and adore throughout. The story is not just about this family but all the issues or situations one would face in their every day life. Most importantly it is about the pressure an Indian kid faces from his/her family to be perfect, successful and everything great..

After a while, if you wish to see a congenial movie with a bottom of gravitas sans the glamour and glitz, then you must not miss 'Kapoor and Sons' since 1921..

Rishi Kapoor, notwithstanding the overdone prosthetic makeup, is perfect in the guise of the full-blooded nonagenarian that nothing can stop. Kapoor And Sons is a winner all the way..

But all credit goes to director Shakun, who holds together all of this like a perfect winning trophy. His sensibilities in the family drama genre will certainly set a new benchmark..

They don't provide matured performances however even during crucial scenes. Alia Bhatt has definitely recovered from the colossal flop of 'Shaandaar'. The movie has its emotions and it may bring tears in few scenes..

Kapoor & Sons flourishes as a unit and is the sum total of mature performances by the entire Kapoor clan..
