Dining with the Kapoors

‘Papa says our family is like a plate of biryani: layered, spicy, and sometimes too hot to handle.’ Around a dining table in Mumbai, a year in the life of the Kapoor family unfolds. The camera captures not staged dinners but real conversations: disputes over the restaurant inheritance, the quiet rebellion of the youngest daughter against an arranged marriage, the sudden visit of a long-forgotten uncle from London. Between servings of curry and dessert, cracks in the façade of prosperity emerge. The film becomes an anthropological study of a modern Indian family, where traditions clash with globalization, and love is measured in portions. The viewer witnesses how, over a year, not only recipes but destinies are rewritten.
