NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

moumindaherabtidon First of all let my just clap my hands and says.. WOW!I thought it was going to be one of those new bad Indian movies that promote liberalism and westernization without really delivering any artistic materials.. MAN I WAS WRONG!This general idea of the movie was great, the dialogues are rememberable and quoteable, some of the scenes were so damn good and emotional, the acting had its ups and downs but hey.. there's no such thing as a perfect movie anyway.I would recommend it to anyone and I might just rewatch it again.. it was THAT GOOD!

sanjubhat 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.

indianature 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.

Najeeb Hasan What a movie!!! A real portrayal of the LGBT character instead of what Bollywood has portrayed .. This is what they are in real life..just too normal to recognize.. Perfect son!! Successful and sensitive and understanding.. I watched this movie twice and it was as refreshing as it was when I watched for the first time.. First of all !! Hats off Fawad!! Take a bow!!! You deserve an award !! Rishi Kapoor is just superb!! And the storyline direction cameras were just brilliant !!! It serves all purpose for a perfect family drama... Of course Sid is a bit stone faced but gradually he will improve..all in all the representation of Gay character was just brilliant and he did it so smoothly.. This is what Indian audience need instead of all those girly feminine stereotypes of gay men..
