As a die-hard Bollywood fanatic, I sometimes wonder to myself what it is about Dharma films that hit you right in the feels. Kapoor and Sons, true to its creed, does just that; it is a bundle of laughs tied into a broader social commentary with the just the right amount of tears. Here are 10 reasons why this is an absolute must-watch:
1. Alia's outfits will give you summer wardrobe goals
They're colourful, cute and look oh-so comfortable.
2. Fawad's "Tangerine" shoes
Very important plot points here so I won't go into it much. Let it be a mystery until you actually go and watch the movie. GO WATCH IT NOW!
3. The sets and visuals
True to its Dharma credentials, Kapoor and Sons is a visual delight. Shot in the quaint yet quirky southern hill station of Conoor, the bright but relaxed colour palette compliments the beautiful scenery of the shooting location. This movie is easy on the eyes and will give you the fuzzies.
4. Alia and Sidharth's chemistry
Need I say more?
5. Fawad, Sidharth, and Rishi Kapoor will give you #SquadGoals
Aren't they just adorable :')
6. The Indo-Pak bromance.
Yes, Fawad Khan is Pakistani. Yes, Sidharth Malhotra is Indian. Yes, they play brothers in the film. And yes, their relationship is super adorable.
Also, Fawad Khan and Sidharth Malhotra in the same frame repeatedly! Treat yo'self ladies and gents!
7. Boobly
If not for any other reason, you need to watch the film for Boobly.
Don't know who Boobly is? What are you waiting for? GO WATCH THE MOVIE!
8. Fawad Khan plays the guitar
Do you need an excuse to watch attractive South Asian men playing the guitar? JUST GO TO THE CINEMA NOW!
9. This movie will give you the soundtrack of your summer #Summer2k16
Yes, I know the name "Buddhu Sa Man" is kind of weird, but please give this song a chance. It is in the same league as Sooraj Dooba Hai (which was OBVIOUSLY the soundtrack of #Summer2k15!)
10. Ladies and Gentlemen, Rishi Kapoor
Chotuji has once again reminded us why the Kapoor name is what it is in the Hindi Film Industry. He effortlessly moulds himself into the role of "Lovable Old Man" but with a twist. His character, as well as his superb acting are the driving force of this movie. His presence in this film ties the various sub-plots together. I could very easily write an entire article just about his character and presence but alas, this is just a short 'listicle'.
Rishi Kapoor alone is reason enough to BOOK YOUR TICKETS NOW!
