The Kapoor family, a dynasty in the Indian film industry, is set to offer a glimpse into their personal lives with a new Netflix show titled Dining With The Kapoors. Slated to premiere on November 21, the unscripted variety show is written by Armaan Jain, grandson of the legendary Raj Kapoor. The show promises a blend of personal memories, a love for food, and the family's strong connection to cinema.
Dining With The Kapoors features a star-studded cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Karisma Kapoor, alongside other family members such as Neetu Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Randhir Kapoor, Reema Kapoor, Bharat Sahni, Manoj Jain, Nitasha Nanda, Agastya Nanda, Navya Naveli Nanda, Kunal Kapoor, and Zahan Kapoor. The show is directed by Smriti Mundhra, who returns to Netflix after the docu-series The Romantics.
The premise of the show revolves around bringing the Kapoor family together around a dining table, unlocking generations of stories filled with laughter, chaos, endless food, and the family's signature banter. Armaan Jain, the show's creator, producer, and showrunner, sees it as a way of honoring his grandfather, Raj Kapoor, and celebrating the bond that holds the family together.
Netflix shared the official poster with the caption, "Kapoor Khandaan ka lunch invite aa gaya hai and you're invited. Watch Dining With The Kapoors, out 21 November, only on Netflix". The absence of Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor's wife, in the promotional material has sparked curiosity among fans, even though other spouses like Saif Ali Khan, Anissa Jain, and Bharat Sahni were mentioned.
The show is being touted as a heartfelt tribute to 100 years of Raj Kapoor and the Kapoor family's contribution to the film industry. Dining With The Kapoors aims to provide an intimate look into the traditions, conversations, and bonds that define the Kapoor family.
