Kapoor & Sons

Kapoor and Shah bicker brilliantly, and with great dignity at that. Khan is expectedly charming and delightfully at ease with his personable self.

Even though "Kapoor & Sons" goes from lightly comic to more darkly dramatic to pretty overtly melodramatic, it never loses its lived-in quality or plunges into the absurd.

Kapoor and Sons is more of a family film than Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham ever was.

And as this is an intense melodrama, we wouldn't have it any other way. Sexuality, infidelity, child favoritism, death, lying, stealing, drugs -- there are plenty of juicy morsels to wring the drama out of.

Kapoor & Sons is hilarious, heartwarming and heartbreaking rolled in one. It does not wear its social conscience on its sleeve, but make no mistake about this: it has one.

In spite of the obvious lack of depth, and the rather predictable problems and solutions, Kapoor and Sons is powered by some great performances...Rajat Kapoor and Ratna Pathak Shah are fiery but it is Fawad Khan who steals the show.

For the want of a better term, Kapoor & Sons is an emotional roller coaster. It's a tear jerker for sure, but also features the intricacies of a middle class life.

Wicked, witty and wise, Kapoor & Sons does Karan Johar proud.

Kapoor & Sons makes great strides for progressiveness within the context of the Hindi film industry.

It's like Kapoor & Sons recreates a reality and it does so with deftness and authenticity.
