Dining With The Kapoors Premieres on Netflix With Intimate Tribute to Raj Kapoor

The one-hour special uses a shared meal to explore family memory in a fly-on-the-wall portrait directed by Smriti Mundhra.

Overview

  • Streaming began November 21 with a 61‑minute documentary that reunites members of the Kapoor family including Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Randhir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor and Rima Jain.
  • Conceived by Armaan Jain under his Aavashyak Media banner, the project was pitched to Netflix and shaped as a focused ritual rather than a sweeping biography.
  • The film was shot with handheld cameras, minimal staging and no retakes to capture an unstaged atmosphere behind closed doors.
  • Armaan designed and cooked a nostalgic menu to spark memories at the table, using food as the entry point into the family’s legacy on Raj Kapoor’s centenary.
  • Alia Bhatt does not appear due to prior shooting commitments, while early reactions praise the warmth and editing even as some note a curated feel over raw confrontation.
