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
