Namrata Joshi The Hindu 01/02/2019
Kapoor and Shah bicker brilliantly, and with great dignity at that. Khan is expectedly charming and delightfully at ease with his personable self. Go to Full Review Rachel Saltz New York Times 03/20/2016
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. Go to Full Review Pradeep Menon Firstpost 11/01/2023
Kapoor and Sons is more of a family film than Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham ever was. Go to Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media 12/14/2022
3/5
And as this is an intense melodrama, we wouldn't have it any other way. Sexuality, infidelity, child favoritism, death, lying, stealing, drugs -- there are plenty of juicy morsels to wring the drama out of. Go to Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost 05/08/2019
Kapoor & Sons is hilarious, heartwarming and heartbreaking rolled in one. It does not wear its social conscience on its sleeve, but make no mistake about this: it has one. Go to Full Review Shilpa Jamkhandikar Reuters 11/16/2018
In spite of the obvious lack of depth, and the rather predictable problems and solutions, Kapoor and Sons is powered by some great performances...Rajat Kapoor and Ratna Pathak Shah are fiery but it is Fawad Khan who steals the show. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Faiz D May 13 Family drama at its best. See more Vinay Sainath C 04/10/2024 Kapoor & Sons is an all-embracing family drama that provides you an exhaustive emotional workout. Tears, smiles, laughs - this movie churns them all out of you in good measure. A refreshing difference from the glorified family drama movies of that time, Kapoor & Sons portrays real-life struggles families often face - infidelity, jealousy, acceptance among others. The cast is stellar with Rishi Kapoor, Ratna Pathak Shaw, Fawad Khan and Rajat Kapoor stealing the show. Sidharth Malhotra feels a bit mechanical at times while Alia Bhatt is a tad under-utilised as an actor. Clearly, this is Shakun Batra's finest movie. Kapoor & Sons is one of the best family dramas made since the 2000s. If you love emotional roller-coasters that leave you warm and fuzzy in the end, this one's for you! See more Ashish P 12/18/2023 Filled with great performances by the entire cast and a family story that can tug at your heartstrings, Kapoor & Sons prove that bollywood is at its best when it works on a personal level See more Anjum K 11/12/2022 Bollywood's answer to Hollywood's mystic River in some sense, if not exactly same in its authenticity. See more Arun S 02/04/2021 I did not feel so impressed with this film like others as it has a hackaneyed way in dealing with certain conflicts.. Overall decent film with good performances.Siddharth characterisation lacked finesse as compared to Fawad's and also not everyone speaks Hindi in Ooty. See more 12/10/2020 It went on for too long, creating one unnecessary problem after another, and then rushing to conclude everything at the very end. The writers missed every opportunity to tell the story about the kapoor family in an organized and thoughtful way. It was a complete waste of time, to be honest, and the son coming out as gay towards the end of the movie was completely pointless, adding to my point about creating too many unnecessary obstacles.
