Helmed by Shakun Batra, Kapoor and Sons presented fans with resounding and promising performances by a youthful star cast-Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Fawad Khan. Now, in Kapoor’s upcoming ‘Jersey’ we see Mrunal Thakur slapping him in the trailer. Amidst the gamut of intense and exceptional movies with intentions of creating a niche, hitting the silver screens lately, heres a breath of fresh spring air to entertain the viewers. Harsh is discouraging of Sunita's wish to open a catering business and Harsh's past extra-marital affair is a sore spot in their relationship. Shahid Kapoor slapped Kiara Advani in 'Kabir Singh' and there was a massive outrage. While the brothers struggle to get along, their parents also grapple with their troubled marriage.

Estranged brothers Rahul (Fawad Afzal Khan) and Arjun Kapoor (Sidharth Malhotra) are compelled to return to their childhood home in Coonoor when their 90-year-old grandfather Amarjeet (Rishi Kapoor) suffers a heart attack. It places its characters in seemingly mundane scenes that lead to ugly, socially awkward fights.Kapoor & Sons is a Bollywood a modern-family drama and a romantic-comedy film, which is directed by Shakun Batra and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. And it says this through a screenplay that’s very clever and modern. Howsoever imperfect, at least they’ll be real. Kapoor & Sons says don’t look at old, happy photos longingly. So, either just get up and ask, or learn to live the life you have now. There may not be time to get answers to all the questions you’ve been harbouring. If, like me, you draw life’s lessons from films (I cut a sorry figure as I write this, of course), Kapoor & Sons says just one simple thing: Life is just too short. But it’s a photo that’s real in more ways than one. You first see the fissures, the cracks, the patch-up job. Dadaji’s photo, when it’s finally taken, is as if it’s held together by a band-aid. That’s Tia (Alia Bhatt), an orphaned princess of sorts. But not before sweet characters are introduced, some believable and one just, well, built around the emotion of the film’s one and only memorable song, Ladki beautiful kargi chull. Around organising the birthday and the family portrait, with Dadaji in his wheelchair, the family comes undone. Soon it’s time for Dadaji’s 98th birthday, a big family event where he wants his last wish fulfilled - a happy photo.
