“Marne se pehle mai chahta hu ki mere parivaar ke saath photo ho jiske niche title hoga – Kapoor And Sons since 1921.” Remember when late veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, who played the role of Amarjeet Kapoor, an ailing grandfather in Kapoor & Sons said these lines? While the family members lost the father in the 2016 film, they added his cut-out in the frame to complete their parivaar. And finally the big moment happened.
Speaking of which, a thread about Hindi films ending with group photographs recently caught my attention on Twitter. And it’s damn sweet as you get to live those heart-warming frames once again.
