Netflix Sets 'Dining With The Kapoors' for Nov. 21 Streaming Debut

The one-hour tribute captures the Kapoor dynasty through a candid family meal.

Overview

  • Conceived by Armaan Jain to mark Raj Kapoor’s 100th birth anniversary, the project uses food as the lens for family memories after he pitched the idea to Netflix.
  • Directed by Smriti Mundhra and produced by Aavashyak Media, the film employs a fly-on-the-wall approach with handheld cameras, no retakes and minimal staging.
  • The gathering features Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Randhir Kapoor, Rima Jain, Neetu Kapoor and Zahan Kapoor in a rare on-camera family setting.
  • The creators focused on a single ritual rather than a sweeping biography to deliver an intimate, standalone portrait.
  • Armaan Jain said Alia Bhatt missed the shoot due to prior work commitments, noting scheduling conflicts are common for the family.
