Kapoor
& Sons is a visual treat and fortunately, this beauty isn’t skin
deep. As we delve deeper into their lives, we get to know the characters better as
they try to navigate life with the various skeletons in their closets. Soon enough, we realise that while producer Karan Johar’s “it’s all about loving your
family” motif has a major role to play, the treatment is refreshing and very
un-Bollywood-like. Director Shakun Batra, who has also written the script along
with Ayesha DeVitre Dhillon, has weaved together a story with some delightfully
flawed characters.
The first half tickles and is super fun while the real action in the form of many plot twists and turns awaits us in the second half. Go for it with full parivaar and you won’t regret it.
