Mumbai, Nov 15 (NationPress) The trailer for the highly anticipated streaming special ‘Dining with the Kapoors’ was revealed on Saturday. This special features a remarkable assembly of Hindi cinema’s pioneering film dynasty, the Kapoors, who reunite to honor the centenary of Bollywood icon Raj Kapoor, and his father, the family patriarch, Prithviraj Kapoor.
Among those featured are Randhir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Rima Jain, Ranbir Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, and Aadar Jain. This once-in-a-generation reunion of Bollywood royalty celebrates love, legacy, and kinship.
The one-hour special, produced by Armaan Jain and directed by Smriti Mundhra, offers an intimate look into one of India’s most cherished film families. Shot in a fly-on-the-wall documentary style, it invites viewers to join the Kapoor family in sharing their laughter, stories, and treasured memories, showcasing everything from playful interactions to heartfelt reflections, all centered around their shared passion for food.
Director Smriti Mundhra expressed, “Having previously collaborated with Netflix on projects like ‘Indian Matchmaking’, ‘Never Have I Ever’, and ‘The Romantics’, returning for this project feels like a homecoming. It’s special to tell a story about family and legacy, especially in a time when life often distances us from these values.”
She added, “The Kapoors are not just a Bollywood dynasty; they embody the kind of family everyone wishes to be part of - incredibly close-knit, fun-loving, and utterly passionate about food. My goal was to capture not just their surface narrative but the essence of being at the table with them, enjoying the stories, laughter, and raw moments that emerge when the performance fades away. I’m thankful to Armaan Jain and the entire Kapoor family for allowing me a glimpse into their legacy.”
‘Dining with the Kapoors’ is scheduled to debut on November 21 on Netflix.
