Critic Reviews
Kapoor & Sons (2016) Review: A Family Drama That Lets the House Be Ugly
★★★☆☆
Shakun Batra’s Coonoor reunion — Sidharth, Fawad, Alia, and Rishi Kapoor — is still one of Hindi cinema’s most adult takes on brothers, parents, and a secret the family cannot metabolize.
Recommended — among the better Hindi family dramas of the 2010s.
