"Kapoor And Sons" was out-of-box thinking family comedy film which was enhanced with matured acting, strong direction and well-defined characters.
Rahul (#FawadKhan) meets his brother Arjun (Siddharth Malhotra) after 5 years in Conoor over the news about hospitalization of their grand father(Rishi Kapoor). Enters Tia Malik (Alia Bhatt), a happy- go-lucky gal who enjoys her freedom and lives her life to the fullest, who changes the fate of the brothers forever after they meet her.
Directed by Shakun Batra, who previously made the well-liked "Ek Main Aur EK Tu" dares to cross the line and the result is fruitful. Hats off to the director for choosing such a different subject which challenges the patience of the audience and yet follows the simplicity of Indian Cinema. The film may start of with a typical boy-meet-girl romance but ends on something which I could never ever thought of. Batra succeeds in etching the characters of "Kapoor And Sons" with zest and vibrant which makes the film more alluring. Screenplay is commendable keeping audience's interest alive. Rishi Kapoor is the soul of the film. The veteran actor is magnificent and gives an electrifying performance. Fawad Khan is getting better with each film. He has given his best performance till now and is on the verge of becoming a method actor. Rajat Kapoor and Ratna Pathak drives the film to next level. Both actors have done a commendable job. Siddharth Malhotra is decent in his role while Alia Bhatt is always a reliable when it comes to acting. Cinematography is outstanding capturing the beautiful location of Conoor. Production design is simple yet charming. Music by Amaal Mallik, Badshah and Arko is a big let down with none of songs being memorable after you leave the theater.
So , overall , a perfect family flick coupled with strong performances and brilliant direction. A Must Watch
