Kapoor & Sons
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is supple and smooth, with lots of rough edges and highs and lows. It's a perfect family movie.
-
...all credit goes to director Shakun, who holds together all of this like a perfect winning trophy. His sensibilities in the family drama genre will certainly set a new benchmark.
-
Director / writer Shakun Batra's and his co-writer Ayesha Deveitre Dhillon are the true heroes of this film. Their story, their dialogue and the situations they've created add great depth to the movie.
-
...makes for an excellent movie that you must watch with your entire family.
-
You’ll love it for being spontaneous, precise, fast paced and well lovable. A fantastic family drama after a long time.
-
The nuances in the story are reflected brilliantly in all aspects of the film from the performances to the technical aspects like production design, music, editing and photography.
-
Shakun Batra's biggest achievement is that he has etched each of the central characters with precision.
-
It is an amazingly mature film. Who would have thought that could be said about a 100% family drama?
-
...hilarious, heartwarming and heartbreaking rolled in one.
-
Writers Shakun Batra and Ayesha Devitre Dhillon come up with characters that are refreshingly flawed.
-
Kapoor & Sons' star is its story.
-
Director Shakun Batra has matured from a filmmaker solely capable of romcoms to one who can infuse depth into characters and script relationships in all its verity.
-
...is intense and incisive in its observation of human inadequacies but is always entertaining.
-
...absorbing, impassioned and layered family drama...
-
...a refreshing tale of family problems and the art of sweeping them under the carpet.
-
Shakun Batra has indeed pulled off an incredible casting coup and let’s not forgets his brilliant direction that dispenses a feel-good movie-watching indulgence.
-
There is something very finely calibrated and nicely measured about the entire package that is Kapoor & Sons.
-
Shakun Batra’s beautifully performed drama, about a family lurching from one crisis to the next, is part of a recent development towards ‘Happy endings with reservations’ in popular Hindi cinema.
-
A likeable enough little film with fine characters, Kapoor & Sons tries too hard to turn on the water works at the end, going from a good, mellow drama to a full-blown melodrama by the end of it all.
-
...a very watchable popcorn treat.
-
...is a film with soul that takes you back to your roots, reminding you how much you love your 'imperfect' family in the most perfect way.
-
...is exquisitely crafted, beautifully written.
-
...film like this one, with a nice sense of place and more-than-competent performers, could have been that rare Bollywood thing : a grown-up drama featuring grown-ups
-
Shakun Batra’s film has no plot, just the problems of getting a family together so that grandpa can get a family photo for his 90th birthday.
