The story is about the differences in a family and how the family members come with the answers to their ignored questions. The most affecting thing about the movie is its direction, the movie goes so smoothly and appealingly that it binds you with itself and you don't be able to slide your attention for a bit. You started finding a connect with the characters in no time. In terms of story, direction and screenplay, the movie is undoubtedly 10/10. When it comes to performances, the real scene-stealer is Rishi kapoor, he reminded me of Amitabh bachchan in Piku, outstanding piece of performance from his side. The second scene-stealer of this 132 mins. family drama is Fawad Khan, how easily he carries his character in the movie is a treat to watch. Apart from these two Alia Bhatt, although in a short role, marks her presence with some terrific moments. Rest of the cast have also worked wonders. Remaining covers the plot and the movie's authenticity with the reality of life. In my honest opinion, this movie is a must watch; go with your family or friends and find the "connect" in this movie with your life.
'Kapoor and Sons' Synopsis: After their grandpa (Rishi Kapoor) gets a heart attack, Two Brothers (Fawad Khan & Sidharth Malhotra) come back to Coonoor & re-kindle with their Dysfunctional Family. Chaos Follows...
'Kapoor and Sons' is a wholesome entertainer. I was seriously impressed & engrossed by the flow of the narrative. The entire concept, of this imperfect, dysfunctional family & the secrets within them, has a terrific undercurrent of emotions. While the first-hour is light in tone & also keeps space for some great jokes, the second-hour shifts into serious family drama, but the shift in the mood, never slows down the momentum. In fact, 'Kapoor and Sons' strengthens even more as it progresses & you begin to feel for the characters a lot more.
Shakun Batra & Ayesha Devitre Dhillon's Screenplay is Tremendous. The Writing is genuinely great, as this story flows wonderfully & ends, on a very high emotional note. There is scope for the emotional bits, comedy, some romance & of course drama. And it all fits in perfectly. Batra's Direction is Excellent. He returns to the Director's chair after a long time & seems more self-assured this time. Cinematography captures the impeccable beauty of Coonoor, aptly. Editing is crisp. Music by Various Artists is melodious. Art & Costume Design are first-rate. Make-Up (Especially for Rishi Kapoor) is fantastic.
Performance-Wise: 'Kapoor and Sons' boasts fabulous performances from its cast. Rishi Kapoor is adorable as the grandpa, who is unmistakably naughty & also the sweetest of his bloodline. Fawad Khan does a remarkable job, enacting a difficult role with flourish. His character is "Unconventional" & a complete departure from the stereotype "Hero" roles. Sidharth Malhotra is natural & portrays a rather sympathetic part with confidence. He & Fawad share a good on-screen chemistry between them & their confrontations are nicely handled too. Ratna Pathak Shah is flawless as the long-suffering woman of the house. Just watch her in the scene when she discovers of Fawad's true-self, her expressions are priceless. Rajat Kapoor is first-rate as the hard to like father/husband. And lastly Alia Bhatt, who's smile alone is worth your ticket.
On the whole, 'Kapoor and Sons' is a must watch. Two Thumbs Up!
Shakun Batra's Kapoor & Sons Since 1921 kills this myth and tells the story that is more ours than anyone else's. Kapoor & Sons is a story of a dysfunctional family living in the hills of Coonoor. A financially struggling Harsh Kapoor(Rajat Kapoor) living in a house with an unhappy wife Sunita(Ratna Pathak Shah) and heart patient but larger-than- life father(Rishi Kapoor) whose last wish is to have a full family photo being framed before his death.
Harsh and Sunita have two sons: Rahul(Fawad Khan), the elder and perfect son who is a successful writer settled in UK and Arjun(Siddharth Malhotra), the younger son struggling on his own novel and surviving by doing different jobs in the States.Both Rahul and Arjun arrive home after learning that their Dadu has suffered from a cardiac arrest. This is where they both meet and become involved with the same girl Tia(Alia Bhatt), a freelancer taking care of an ancient property in the town and looking to sell it.
The movie moves at a subtle pace giving us some beautiful and light moments until a moment when a web of secrets slowly start to unravel including a lie that threatens to tear the family apart. It gives you a feel-good vibe while keeping you attached with every character all through and giving a healthy dose of laughter induced frequently by the modern-age porn-loving Dadu and his antics.
The performances of the whole cast are admirable. Rajat Kapoor as a man under the pressure of obligation to his family but unappreciated for his efforts is excellent. Ratna Pathak Shah as a faithful wife living in a burdened marriage and a proud mother is exemplary. Rishi Kapoor with his sarcastic one-liners is lovable. His interactions with his grandsons regarding porn is a treat to watch. Alia Bhatt is bubbly and beautiful at the same time. Siddarth Malhotra is the weakest link in the movie unable to transform himself from a cheated yet moved-on teenager to a distraught adult is unconvincing. But it is Fawad Khan who delivers a masterclass and holds the movie together as Rahul, the not-so-perfect son showing why he is a celebrated actor in Pakistan. Sukant Goel as Wasim also deserves a mention.
The only flaw in the movie is the unraveling of the mysteries that you are confused, who is to blame and who is to be sympathized.
All in all a decent byproduct by Shakun Batra who after his 'Ekk Main Aur Ekk Tu' has made a mark with his mature narratives. The movie delivers a beautiful message that even if there are problems, one should never abandon his family.
Take a short vacation to the scenic Coonoor to meet this ultimate dysfunctional family. Truly, every member of the Kapoor clan has his/her own dark secret to guard with insecurities abound. Welcome then to the Karan Johar version of 'Dil Dhadakne Do' (2015) meets 'Monsoon Wedding' (2001).
Let me now have the priviledge of introducing you to each of the family members:
Dadu Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor) : A naughty at 90 grandpa who has fun browsing Mandakini's 'Ram Teri Ganga Maili' (1985) videos on his "i-papad" and cheating his friends at a card game, Dadu is the eldest Kapoor who wants his family in a saath saath pose for a family pic. Rishi Kapoor brilliantly transforms in to a nonagenarian with heavy prosthetics and right body language to deliver a memorable performance.
Harsh Kapoor (Rajat Kapoor) : He's a father of two young sons cheating on his wife and going through a financial downside. Rajat Kapoor, a fine actor that he is, goes through the role effortlessly.
Sunita Kapoor (Ratna Pathak) : She's the lady of the house and under severe emotional stress owing to her husbands suspected infidelity and her sons' sibling rivalry. Ratna Pathak is impressive as ever in a character which is slightly over the top and over reacts most of the time..
Rahul Kapoor (Fawad Khan) : The achcha beta of the family, he's hot in looks and cool in attitude. Nursing a dark secret of his own, Rahul is the catalyst for most of the subplots in the Kapoor story. Fawad Khan has got in to the skin of his character and his is the real standout performance in the movie after Rishi Kapoor. Kudos!
Arjun Kapoor (Siddharth Malhotra) : The punching bag and misunderstood guy in the family, Arjun has been unlucky professionally and trying hard to succeed. His life changes when he meets Tia. Siddharth Malhotra is earnest as Arjun displaying the right amount of restraint and vulnerability.
Tia Mallik (Alia Bhatt) : She's the happy go lucky neighbour of Kapoor's who becomes a bone of contention between the two brothers. Alia Bhatt is pleasing on the eyes and does well whatever is expected out of her.
Director Shakun Batra's second outing after 'Ek Main aur Ekk Tu' (2012) - a film I loved tremondously but didn't get its due, is a cleverly packaged family drama which should strike a chord with the urban classes. Relying more on performances than the script, Kapoor & Sons is a likeable fare. Try it once.
Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.
