To start with, Rishi Kapoor takes the cake. And his Oscar winning make up artist (It take 6-8 hours to get that makeup done). Its not laudable just because Rishi Kapoor went thru that painstakingly slow process of getting the make up done but because he was the funniest person on the screen and whenever he was not in a scene I was just hoping his character will pop up somehow and crack us all up.
Kapoor and Sons is a pure family drama (with a lot of humour) along with one witty Dadu in the house, his 2 sons (Rajat Kapoor + 1) and Rajat's 2 sons - Fawad being the elder son who gets all the pampering and Sidharth the so called chota nikkamma son.
The best part about the movie is that it sticks to its title. Its about the Kapoor and sons and thats exactly what you get to see in this 2 hours and 20 minutes of drama, comedy and romance. The sons and their struggles, their inhibitions, their lies and their love.
The other beautiful part is the direction and dialogues. Every time the family erupts in a brawl it does not appear made up. It seems as though a real family is fighting with real issues, its not filmy at all. Watch out for the plumber scene. His punchline is ultimate and so apt for that scene. Birthday part was neat too. We have not really seen much of Fawad Khan but this movie could as well be a turning point in his acting career in Bollywood. This changes everything for him. He has delivered real well. Not been a fan of Sidharth Malhotra myself but am not complaining with his performance either. But the true acting stars are Rajat Kapoor and Ratna Pathak (after Rishi Kapoor). Their acting standards needs no introduction and they have outperformed themselves, as always. Alia Bhat brings the glamour factor to the movie (after Fawad) and she seem to get connected to the family instantly (and how! watch out for the mess up).
For the one liners, the argument scenes, the humour, the complexity in the relationships between each other/ with others and for the Kapoors and Sons, go watch it!
