The world may know him as Jeetendra or even Jumping Jack but his real name is Ravi Kapoor. Kunal returned to big screen last October to play Amy Jackson’s father in Singh is Bliing. Both of them had a pretty successful stint as models but fizzled as heroes and chucked Bollywood to pursue other avenues - ad filmmaking and photography respectively. His sons Kunal and Karan didn’t quite take the legacy forward. Whether he’s wooing Raakhee with a rose or cozying up to Parveen Babi on a dance floor, Shashi Kapoor’s charisma is eternal.ĭisastrous directorial debut Ajooba notwithstanding, his work as producer is most credible. IMAGE: Karan Kapoor (Left) and Kunal Kapoor with Shashi Kapoor (Right). Ditto for his directorial debacle, Prem Granth.Īs Bollywood’s most effortless actor (most fiery too), Rishi Kapoor is something of a national treasure.īeta Ranbir is no less gifted, having proved his prowess in all genres.Īlthough the erstwhile darling of the critics is bearing the brunt of some terrible career choices right now, there’s no doubt that he will bounce back soon. A laidback attitude didn’t do any favours to his career as director either.ĭespite his incredible talent, Rishi was unfairly stuck in the romantic hero slot but was content to survive Amitabh Bachchan’s angry young man boom. It’s only in his second innings that the veteran is playing to his potential and gathering accolades galore.Įxcept his father’s launchpad, Ram Teri Ganga Maili, which was talked about only for heroine Mandakini’s exposure, Rajiv aka Chimpoo Kapoor’s career never really took off. Randhir’s journey as a leading man quickly lost steam and relegated him to supporting roles. Photograph: Rishi Kapoor/Twitterįew can boast of a success like Raj Kapoor’s - on screen and off it. Even though “Kapoor & Sons” goes from lightly comic to more darkly dramatic to pretty overtly melodramatic, it never loses its lived-in quality or plunges into the absurd.IMAGE: Rajiv Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor with their father Raj Kapoor (in center). Batra, whose previous films include “ Ek Main aur Ekk Tu,” has a naturalist’s feel for character and situations that’s unusual in mainstream Bollywood. Mama (Ratna Pathak) is restless and angry.
Papa (Rajat Kapoor, but not one of those Kapoors) has money trouble, and all signs point to him having an affair. Rahul (Fawad Khan) is frequently proclaimed the perfect son by his mother.
Arjun (Sidharth Malhotra), angry at his brother for stealing his ideas, feels like a chronic also-ran, and with good reason. That brings home - to Coonoor, a hill station in the state of Tamil Nadu - his diasporic grandsons: Rahul, a successful novelist from London, and Arjun, an aspiring novelist from New Jersey. Dadu, who enjoys playacting his death, has a real heart attack.

But it does star one of them, Rishi Kapoor (son of Raj, father of Ranbir), who heavily (and skillfully) made up plays Dadu, the about-to-be-90 paterfamilias of a clan made unhappy by the usual secrets and lies and long-cherished grudges.ĭirected by Shakun Batra, the movie starts as a comedy of family dysfunction. “ Kapoor & Sons - Since 1921” isn’t about the dynastic family of Hindi movie directors, actors and producers.
