Review: Kapoor & Sons

Two brothers return home to Coonoor when their grandfather wants to see them. ‘Kapoor & Sons’, a drama about a dysfunctional family works mainly because of the effortless and natural performances. It’s a smart script which has the right dose of humour and emotions. Fawad Khan stands out as the perfect son who has been living a life of lies due to his sexual preference.

Director Shakun Batra (‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’) handles the issue with the right maturity and sensitivity. Sidharth Malhotra as the ‘second best’ son with a complex is as perfect in his role as the free-spirited Tia played by Alia Bhatt. There is an easy chemistry between them too.

Rishi Kapoor as the lively grandfather looks cute and will bring a smile on your face. Ratna Pathak Shah and Rajat Kapoor are brilliant as the parents in a marriage gone sour.

About Abhirup Dhar

I don't watch movies... I live them! Let me introduce myself. Abhirup Dhar was born in Kolkata and is still being brought up in India. A banker by profession, he is filmy to the core and is passionate about reviewing movies and writing. He likes to live on his own… he likes to be blunt, sarcastic, famous, infamous, confident, over-confident, moody at times… he likes to be himself. He is imperfect because perfection is boring. His love for movies dates back to his childhood days when he studied in a boarding school. A three-month Winter Vacation every year… and he made sure he watched as many movies then. Parents thought it was a phase... he knew it was Passion and he knew it back then itself. The craziness to watch movies on the Big Screen began during the last two years of school when he literally bunked to town so that he could catch up with the new Hindi Movie releases. Some thought he was plain crazy. He confirmed it was Passion... yet again. The hard fact is that not always can you walk a path you are passionate about. You have expectations to fulfill and Life to be made. But Life gives you chances and you have to grab them. So... here is he... your friendly critic who will be giving you his Verdict every week so that you can decide which release is worth your moolah and which is not! See you at the Movies!
