As Kapoor & Sons completes a decade since its release, the film continues to hold a special place in the hearts of audiences for its honest and deeply relatable portrayal of family dynamics. Directed by Shakun Batra and backed by Karan Johar, the 2016 drama stood out for its nuanced storytelling and layered characters, making it one of the most memorable family dramas of its time.
Marking the milestone, Sidharth Malhotra reflected on his journey with the film and the emotional impact it had on him even before it went on floors. Revisiting his experience of reading the script for the first time, the actor shared, “When I first read the script of Kapoor & Sons, I remember finishing it with tears in my eyes. It felt so real- like stepping into a warm, chaotic Punjabi family where every character had a heartbeat. Playing Arjun was special for me because he was layered, vulnerable and carrying so much inside him. Ten years later, the biggest reward is still hearing people talk about the film, the scenes and the family dynamics like they’ve lived with these characters themselves. That kind of love is rare, and I feel grateful we got to bring that story to life.”
Sidharth’s portrayal of Arjun Kapoor—a character grappling with insecurities, sibling rivalry, and emotional baggage—was widely appreciated for its restraint and sincerity. The film’s ability to present flawed, complex individuals within a seemingly ordinary family setup struck a chord with viewers across generations. Even today, Kapoor & Sons is often revisited for its authentic depiction of relationships, unresolved conflicts, and the quiet moments that define family life.
Over the years, the film has built a legacy that extends beyond box office success, becoming a reference point for storytelling that blends realism with emotional depth. Its themes of love, acceptance, and reconciliation continue to resonate, making it as relevant today as it was a decade ago.
On the work front, Sidharth Malhotra has an interesting slate ahead. The actor is set to star in Vvan, where he will share screen space with Tamannaah Bhatia. Additionally, recent reports suggest that he will be reuniting with Karan Johar for an upcoming project, further building anticipation among fans.
As Kapoor & Sons celebrates ten years, the film stands as a reminder of the power of honest storytelling—one that continues to live on through the audiences who see a part of their own lives reflected in it.
