The legendary Kapoor family, often celebrated as Bollywood's first family, has come together for a grand and intimate gathering in the newly released trailer for Netflix's special, 'Dining With The Kapoors'. The promo offers a heartwarming glimpse into a family lunch filled with laughter, memories, and a heartfelt tribute to their iconic patriarch, the late Raj Kapoor.
A Family United in Memory and Food
The trailer immediately sets a warm tone, with Kareena Kapoor Khan describing her famous clan as "funny, loving, united" and deeply passionate about their food. The event is revealed to be a specially organized lunch by Armaan Jain, a member of the extended family, to commemorate what would have been the 100th birth anniversary of the legendary Raj Kapoor.
While the promo showcases a who's who of the Kapoor khandaan, including Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, and even Saif Ali Khan, one notable absence is felt. Alia Bhatt, who is married to Ranbir Kapoor, is nowhere to be seen in the trailer, sparking curiosity among fans.
Laughter, Banter, and a Touch of Nostalgia
The footage is packed with light-hearted moments that showcase the family's natural chemistry. We see Ranbir Kapoor and Armaan Jain sharing a joke in the kitchen, while the dining table becomes a stage for playful teasing. Kareena is good-naturedly called out for eating too much, and Aadar Jain pokes fun at her love for Bollywood gossip.
In one particularly amusing scene, Karisma Kapoor accidentally lets slip a comment she perhaps shouldn't have and is quick to tell the cameraperson to "stop filming." The emotional core of the special is interwoven with these fun moments, as the family reflects on their storied legacy. The trailer treats viewers to rare archival footage of Raj Kapoor himself, connecting the past with the present.
A Grand Finale and a Poignant Toast
The trailer builds towards a grand conclusion where the entire family assembles for a memorable group photograph. The special moment culminates in a toast raised in Raj Kapoor's memory. In a poignant tribute, his grandson Ranbir Kapoor recites the iconic line from one of his grandfather's classic films: "Jeena yahan, marna yahan, iske siwa jana kahan."
The special is created by Armaan Jain and directed by the acclaimed Smriti Mundhra, known for her work on popular Netflix documentaries like 'The Romantics' and 'Indian Matchmaking'. 'Dining With The Kapoors' is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix on November 21, offering an unprecedented look into the lives of Hindi cinema's most revered family.
