Kapoor & Sons Updates Thread#2 In Cinemas now - Page 11

Bolna toh looks full on dream sequence to me. Since they were on a budget they shot it indoors vs Ishq Wala Love.

On a different note I saw some discussion on what is the USP of this film. I think now is the age of content. Even superstars need good content to make their films work as well as expected. The USP of K&S based on the response to the trailer is the family dramedy aspect. Mainly the relationship between the siblings which is far from the ideal relationship shown in films on similar subjects(which is many times far from the truth) and their relationship with their parents and grandfather. I hope the movie focuses on that rather than any love triangle or love story. Alia might be a teen queen but that audience wont come when the film releases bang in the middle of the exam season in India. But people liked the trailer for being the most non-Dharma trailer they had seen. Now if they finally give another Dharma product like Shandaar we are in for a another BO dud like it and I hope they know it.

But when it comes to promotions they do need songs to create a buzz and party songs, love songs seem the best bet for promotions without giving much away from the actual films.

I do hope when closer to release they show the trailer plus dialouge promos on Star Network due to the tie up with Fox Star. That will give the film better exposure than city tours, appearing on random TV shows.

I'm still hoping for no dream sequence, but I won't hate it if the song itself is good. Ahhh who are we kidding?!! To has Sid, with Alia, I'll love it.

I'm pretty sure romance is a small part of the plot. And I still think the big fight between the brothers (Arjun choking Rahul) has nothing to do with romance or the girl at all.

On a song

Director Shakun Batra calls a new track from his next an "ode to the muchloved lip-synced songs"

Karan Johar's films are known for their melodious soundtracks. Kar gayi chull', the first track from his latest production " Kapoor & Sons, is already a success. The second song from the movie, titled Bolna', releases on February 24. And director Shakun Batra hopes to live up to the "high standards" of music set by Karan's previous films.

"All the projects that Karan's company has been associated with are known for their soulful songs. I am confident that our latest number will be a feather in the cap," says Shakun, while revealing that the track comes at a point in the film where Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt's characters are getting to know each other.

"Also, it is Alia's favourite song from the film. Plus, Arijit (Singh) has sung it. So, we have all the reasons to deliver another hit track," says the director, adding that the song is also "an ode to the much-loved lip-synced songs of Bollywood". "At a time when songs that are lip-synced by actors are becoming a dying breed, we've shot the track partially in that manner. While one half has been shot in that style, the other half has footage from the film," he says.

PS: Seriously I was more excited for Chull than this song. Seems so been there and done that. Plus cant imagine Fawad mooning over Alia of all people. Plus her styling looks pretty bad in the pics vs the Chull song.

No dream sequence pls!!!!! 😆😆

The movie has to have a different storyline (not love triangle) and strong screenplay to succeed.
