Dining with the Kapoors: Ranbir Kapoor Leads in Netflix Family Documentary

Ranbir Kapoor may be the younger sibling to Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, but in the upcoming Netflix documentary Dining with the Kapoors, he effortlessly steps into the role of the family’s guiding elder. From pulling his cousins’ legs to leading emotional moments at the dinner table, Ranbir brings warmth, humour and a sense of belonging that binds the entire Kapoor clan together.

Set to stream on November 21, the special takes viewers inside one of Bollywood’s most iconic families as they celebrate food, memories, and the enduring legacy of Raj Kapoor.

Ranbir’s Playful Energy Takes Centre Stage

A newly released promo describes Ranbir as “the most chaotic Kapoor cousin.” The clip shows him teasing Armaan Jain, getting dramatic in the kitchen, and finally raising a heartfelt toast that captures the emotional core of the documentary—family, food and connection.

His natural leadership and affectionate big-brother energy stand out, giving audiences a candid look at his personality beyond the screen.

Armaan Jain’s Dream Project Comes to Life

The documentary is created by Armaan Jain and directed by Smriti Mundhra, known for Indian Matchmaking and The Romantics. For Armaan, this project holds deep personal significance.

The project also marks Armaan Jain’s debut as creator, producer and showrunner under Aavashyak Media.

A Celebration of Food, Family and Film Legacy
