Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Load of rubbish!!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Kapoor & Sons came as a surprise to me where I expected it to be a usual Bollywood melodrama. But, this one turned out to be a great plot with sincere performances.This is the movie that separates itself as a family drama from family melodramas.Special mention for Ratna Pathak Shah outperforms every one else and delivers a great deal of on-screen command.Sublime plot, no melodramatic dialogues, no over-the-top twists.Kapoor and Sons is pure, emotional piece or art. A movie to cherish forever.

The movie is about a dysfunctional Indian family ... the fights , misunderstandings ,complicated relationships .... something which most of us as Indians can easily relate to.The story primarily focuses on two brothers ,Fawad khan , a successful writer living in UK and Siddharth Malhotra, also a wannabe writer still trying to find his feet in the US . It also deals with the lives of their parents Rajat Kapur and Ratna Pathak shah who are trying to get their married life back on track. Not to forget ... the tharki buddha ... Rishi Kapoor as the grandfather, in an awesome role which really invokes spontaneous laughter with his witty one liners. the old one is as horny as a teenager with raging hormones. .. trying to smoke pot on the sly, watch porn on his I-papad (I-pad ) ,making cheesy comments abt the nurses in the hospital and what not . But he is also a lovable old guy who wants to keep the family together and have a happy family pic with all of them ... and hence the title .Complications occur with the entry of Alia Bhatt ( who does not have much of a role ) ..... she first falls for the "maa ka accha baccha" Fawad and then realizes that she gets along better with the rebellious Sid ... this causes a lot of complications in the brothers lives .... how they sort out things forms the rest of the story.The first half is light with lots of funny moments mainly due to Rishi Kapoor and his amazing potty ,porn and pyt (pretty young things) jokes. . The second half is more serious .. Rona Dhona ... melodrama and a few twist as the climax unfolds . Remember it is a Karan Johar film ........ and there is someone who is not who he seems to be ... wont tell who thou( spoiler alert!!!) smile emoticon:)All the members of the cast have acted well."Ladki beautiful " is quite catchy and will definitely appeal to the young crowd .. nothing much to say abt the music otherwise. Direction is okay .My rating : 3 Stars ( ***). I recommend watching the movie primarily for the 1st half and Rishi Kapoor's acting which really makes it worth every penny spent.

Shakun Batra made magic with The Lunchbox turning something so everything and mundane to something so beautiful.With Kapoor and Sons, he has broken new ground on various fronts. Right from the beginning you know this is not going to be average over the top song and dance Bollywood masala fare. This is a very well thought out, searingly brilliant story with perfectly cast actors complemented by gorgeous cinematography and music.Rishi Kapoor is hilarious as the namesake Kapoor family patriarch while Ratna Pathak Shah and Rajat Kapoor bring their stage game to the big screen with stupendous ease. Alia Bhatt breezes through her quirky role. The movie works though due to the brilliant, awkward (on purpose) chemistry between Sidharth Malhotra and Fawad Khan who completely nail their roles. I'm so happy to have finally watched this movie. My favorite Hindi movie since Nil Batey Sannata

I got the DVD expecting Kapoor & Sons to be a really good film with all the hype and encouraging reviews and all that.It was mediocre and over rated. One hour into the film and we were wondering what was so great about it. The movie picked up only in the last forty minutes or so when the stretched saga of a forever bickering family became interesting and one wanted to find out how it all ended.Rishi Kapoor was good as grandpa Kapoor. Ratna Pathak Shah was very good as the disgruntled cribbing wife and she certainly looked the part. Rajat Kapoor was fine. The rest of the cast were just okay, Fawad Khan is good looking but did not display any extraordinary acting skills. Ditto with Siddharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt.Kapoor & Sons is a movie that deserves to be watched on TV. It isn't worth the effort and expense of going to the theatre, nor the cost of the DVD.
