Kapoor and Sons ’ strength lies in its very relatable characters, familial problems that actually exist in society & perhaps our own families, and the fact that it never tries to rectify the flaws. But, it turns out to be better than that, despite the lack of a ground-breaking story.
Kapoor and Sons, from its trailer, looks like a rehash of a 90’s family drama with a tang of urban sensibility. We grew up, essentially in the metaphorical sense, accepting things the way they were, and gradually those films started to look like “Family Dramas in Wonderland”. Those films were quite ideal to be taken seriously in the times they were made, and somewhere in our hearts we did wish to have an ideal family like the one in the film. Conflicts that could be resolved by a mere ‘ Pravachan‘ (sermon), followed by a convenient happy ending. Recall the days when families huddled up to watch a Sooraj Barjatya or a Yash Raj epic family drama with larger than life characters, over the top drama, an excessive dosage of ‘ Sanskar‘. Kapoor and Sons takes a microscopic look at the foible of individuals and inter-personal issues with the dash of intrinsic humor.
