Netflix dropped the trailer of Dining with the Kapoors on November 15, giving viewers a glimpse at the legendary Kapoor family. The trailer promises an hour of laughter, nostalgia and exclusive moments; the full special is all set to premiere on November 21. For nearly a century, the Kapoors have ruled the box office and the hearts of millions.
For this special, Bollywood’s first film family has come together to honour the legendary Raj Kapoor on his 100th birthday, with a heartfelt celebration of that legacy.
Created by Armaan Jain and directed by Smriti Mundhra of Indian Matchmaking, The Romantics and Never Have I Ever fame, the special is produced by Aavashyak Media and serves up an intimate look at one of India’s most beloved film families.
Shot in a fly-on-the-wall documentary style, the special invites viewers to pull up a chair and share in the Kapoor family’s laughter, stories and cherished memories, from playful banter to tender reflections, all tied together by their true passion – food.
"I’ve been lucky to work with Netflix a few times before—on Indian Matchmaking, Never Have I Ever and The Romantics—so coming back to do this project is like a homecoming in more ways than one. Telling a story about the importance of family and the value of legacy in this time when the pace of life is taking us away from those things feels very special. The Kapoors are not just a Bollywood dynasty, but the type of family we all want to be a part of: extremely tight, fun loving, and absolutely obsessed with food. What I wanted to capture wasn’t just their story on the surface, but that feeling of being right there at the table with them—hearing the stories, the laughter, the unfiltered moments that happen when the performance drops away. I’m grateful to Armaan Jain and the entire Kapoor clan for allowing me to be a small part of their legacy."Says, filmmaker Smriti Mundhra
The special features include Randhir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Rima Jain, Ranbir Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Aadar Jain and more. This is a once-in-a-generation gathering of Bollywood royalty, a celebration of love, legacy, and camaraderie.
