Kapoor & Sons

Estranged brothers Rahul and Arjun Kapoor are compelled to return to their childhood home in Coonoor when their 90-year-old grandfather Amarjeet suffers a heart attack. Rahul is a successful novelist and entrepreneur based in London who appears to be the most mature in the family. On the other hand, Arjun struggles to get his books published, resorting to working part-time as a bartender in New Jersey to make ends meet and write in his spare time. Their parents, Harsh and Sunita, favor Rahul for being successful, which upsets Arjun. While the brothers struggle to get along, their parents grapple with their own troubled marriage. Harsh is unsupportive of Sunita's desire to open a catering business, and his past extramarital affair with former office colleague Anu has blemished their relationship. While recovering in the hospital, Amarjeet professes his last wish is to take a family photograph titled "Kapoor & Sons, since 1921".

Sunita finds out Harsh has broken her fixed deposit to pay some bank loans and feels cheated, as she had been saving money to start her catering business. They get into an argument, which soon involves both brothers. Arjun leaves the house in the heat of the moment and goes to a party to divert his mind, where he befriends and becomes attracted to the homeowner, a young and free-spirited woman named Tia Malik. While surveying her property, Rahul also meets Tia the next day, and the two go out for dinner. Rahul drops her home, and to his surprise, Tia kisses him spontaneously. Later on a date with Tia, Arjun tells her he suspects Rahul of plagiarizing his idea to write his bestselling novel with similar characters and subplots but a different ending. Arjun has never confronted Rahul to avoid causing another rift in the family. After the date, Tia confides in her friend that she has feelings for Arjun and regrets kissing Rahul.

The brothers throw a party to celebrate Amarjeet's birthday. Arjun discovers Tia and Rahul know each other and fears they have feelings for each other, but Rahul clarifies he is already in a committed relationship in London. Problems arise when the family finds out Harsh invited Anu, leading to another argument which ends the party, though it is later revealed that it was Rahul's idea to invite Anu. Harsh and Sunita later reminisce about how happy they were, and Harsh apologizes to her. On her birthday, Tia discloses to Arjun that she lost her parents on her 13th birthday in a plane crash. They had gone to Canada for her uncle's surgery and missed her birthday. She regrets her last phone conversation with her parents, where she told them never to return.

The family tries to fulfill Amarjeet's wish to take a family photo, but various secrets come to light that day. Rahul discovers his father was lying about having ended his affair with Anu, while Sunita discovers the relationship Rahul has in London is actually with another man. Tia tells Arjun what happened between her and Rahul, and the family photo is interrupted when Sunita walks away angrily. Harsh tries to talk to her, but when she doesn't listen, he gets into his car and drives away to calm down. Arjun later finds out Rahul has been reading his latest manuscript and confronts him. Sunita interrupts and admits to Arjun she gave his first manuscript to Rahul, thinking Arjun was not serious about becoming an author. After calming down, Sunita gives Harsh a call. Harsh tries to pick up the phone while driving and gets hit by a truck because he was not paying attention to the road. He dies as a result of his injuries, devastating the family. After the funeral, Rahul comes out as gay to Arjun and the two leave for London and Newark, respectively. Four months later, the brothers receive a video message from Amarjeet, requesting them to return, as he feels alone. Sunita comes to terms with Rahul's sexuality. Arjun's book is ready to be published, and he reconnects with Tia. They finally take the family photo Amarjeet wanted, with a cutout of Harsh in his memory.
