‘Dining With The Kapoors’ Serves a Food-First Tribute to Raj Kapoor on Netflix

Now on Netflix, the one-hour documentary centers on a candid family lunch to commemorate Raj Kapoor’s centenary.

Overview

  • Conceived by Armaan Jain and directed by Smriti Mundhra, the special adopts a fly-on-the-wall style to capture multiple generations at the table.
  • Armaan curated the setting and menu from heirloom recipes, with dishes including baked mac and cheese and junglee mutton.
  • Rare footage and salvaged mementos from Raj Kapoor’s Deonar bungalow feature prominently, alongside references to the 2019 sale and redevelopment with RK Studios.
  • On-camera banter singles out Ranbir Kapoor as both the most unfiltered family member and the biggest foodie, echoed by relatives’ anecdotes.
  • Armaan says Alia Bhatt could not participate due to work commitments, as early reviews note the film favors food and family moments over detailed film history.
