Kapoor & Sons’ seems to have taken to heart that famous Tolstoy line: “all happy families are alike, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”, in the way it chooses a specific kind of unhappiness for each member of the Kapoor family.
The fact that Bollywood is now confident enough to give us a family which is not bursting with joy is a thing to be lauded. Meet the Kapoors : grandpa ( Rishi Kapoor) , middle-aged son ( Rajat Kapoor) and his wife ( Ratna Pathak Shah) , and two grandsons Rahul ( Fawad Khan) and Arjun ( Sidharth Malhotra) , all gathered together after many years for a reunion at their Coonoor homestead.
