There is a lot of pot-smoking in the film. I’m impressed, both with the baby and with Alia lighting up on-screen. In one scene, Alia Bhatt finds Sidharth Malhotra rolling a joint in the bathroom of her beautiful old house in the middle of a tea estate. They smoke the doobie in the loo.Īs Alia (Tia in the film) takes the first drag, Lollipop Aunty asks the baby in her lap - ‘Beta, batao iska naam kya hai? She’s pointing at the screen. The baby obliges: ‘Tia’.
I turn to the lady sitting next to me, the one who was in front of me in the line outside, and say: ‘Thank God the man inside that box of an office didn’t give you a lollipop’.
The one in the driver’s seat pays the toll fee he gets a ticket and a green lollipop in return. The green lollipop is in lieu of the change. The film has a funny scene, which involves a plumber with an incessantly ringing phone. He’s trying to fix a leaking tap while a family quarrel rages around him. Ratna Pathak Shah shouts at him to apply more M-Seal.Ī little later, Karan and Arjun hit the road. The unsuccessful Arjun has chucked his job and works as a part-time bartender in New Jersey. He is also working on a novel. Karan, the successful one, had stolen the unsuccessful brother’s plot for his own novel. There is tension between the two because of this. It’s about two brothers who are writers - one successful, the other unsuccessful.įor the sake of convenience, let’s call them Karan and Arjun. The film makes several references to Karan Arjun. But it isn’t Karan Arjun. I wonder: these families must be chatting with each other at home, in the car to the multiplex, standing in the queue at the box office. I marvel at their ability to not lose interest in each other. The atmosphere reminds me of the first few minutes when one boards a train. There is much excitement. The hall is packed with chattering Indians. The film Kapoor & Sons makes references of Karan Arjun, the last film the writer saw at a theatre
