Netflix’s ‘Dining With the Kapoors’ Serves Candid Family Lunch for Raj Kapoor’s Centenary

An hour-long, fly-on-the-wall family lunch honors Raj Kapoor’s centenary through candid, food-led conversations.

Overview

  • The 61-minute special premiered on Netflix on November 22, created by Armaan Jain under Aavashyak Media and directed by Smriti Mundhra.
  • Multiple generations assemble for the meal, including Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Neetu Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor.
  • Clips shared by Netflix spotlight lighthearted confessions, with relatives dubbing Ranbir the family’s biggest eater and noting his reputation for speaking without a filter.
  • The team opts for handheld, unstaged filming as Armaan curates a menu from grandparents’ recipes and decorates with items salvaged from the Deonar bungalow, which appears in rare footage.
  • Scroll.in’s early review labels the film “bland fare,” faulting its light treatment of the family’s cinematic legacy and pointing to Alia Bhatt’s absence, which the program explains as unavailability.
