With Kapoor And Sons, he makes Karan Johar’s famed ‘It’s all about loving your family’ come true. While not many liked the film, it was quite clear back then that the director has an eye for great stories that revel on emotions and especially his easy treatment with them. Shakun Batra’s last film was Ekk Main Aur Ek Tu. A emotionally riveting performance from him. He is easily lovable and endearing with his antics. Rishi Kapoor with all the prosthetic work, turns Daadu. In a minor scene like the one that they reminisce their honeymoon, the duo make sure to bring a smile to your face. than sharing an actual husband wife relation.

Sidharth Malhotra as the troubled younger brother Arjun is average. While many girls may flock to the theaters to just watch him smile, mind you he will make you cry with that performance.

A lone child who lost her parents at an early age, Tia’s ‘live in the moment’ nature is slightly stereotypical considering her past.

This is exactly what the story nails.ĭaadu’s character is written to please the audiences with a humorous touch. In a subtle manner, the writers convey with great ease, a pressure children have in Indian families to be ‘perfect’ or for that matter how younger siblings are generally labeled to be ‘irresponsible’ and how it forms a part of their personalities.įamilies may be the closest bonds one has but as a unit when they fail, it is a collective effect. I particular laud the way how sibling rivalry is tackled due to misconstrued situations. What works for this script is the way it flows, the connectivity of scenes, character nuances and spot on dialogues.įrom the dining room fight scenes to a lovely evening family get together, Batra’s characters come to life because of their realistic nature.

Tia (Alia Bhatt) becomes a common link between both the brothers unknowingly and forms an additional tension to their already strained relationship.Īmidst all the personal as well as ups downs as a unit, will there be a happy family photo of Kapoor And Sons? Alia Bhatt, Fawad Khan and Sidharth Malhotra in a still from the film. In the meanwhile, Rahul and Arjun too have some unsettled issues which come to the fore when they start living together. While Daadu is a happy go lucky character, the tension between Harsh and Sunita who are struggling with their marriage is evident.
