Mumbai, March 18

Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt turned nostalgic, on the 18th of March, as she looked back at the making of Kapoor & Sons.

The actress recalling her very first day of shoot, on the 10th anniversary of the movie, shared memories from the sets and spoke about filming the popular song "Kar Gayi Chull," which became a massive hit among youngsters.

Resharing the post originally shared by Dharma productions on their social media account, Alia wrote, "Soo many memories #10YearsOfKapoorandSons."

Recalling the moment, Alia, in the video, is heard saying, ""I remember my first day of shoot for Kapoor and Sons was for Kar Gayi Chul, which went on to become such a big hit. So when you see me dancing in Kar Gayi Chul, I am actually just dancing."

She added, "I am just having like a great time. I don't think that was very performative. It was just me genuinely having a good time and it's also the vibe that Shakun created. I remember even when we went for our main outdoor to Coonoor, even though I had shoot on and off, I just stayed on. I was just there for the entire schedule."

For the uninitiated, Alia Bhatt made her Bollywood debut with Student of the Year in 2012, directed by Karan Johar.

Talking about Kapoor & Sons, the movie released in 2016, featured an ensemble cast including Sidharth Malhotra, Fawad Khan, Rishi Kapoor, Ratna Pathak Shah and Rajat Kapoor.

The film's storyline revolved around a dysfunctional family that reunites at their ancestral home, where many unresolved conflicts, sibling rivalry and emotional complexities come to the surface while the family prepares to celebrate their grandfather's birthday.

The film was directed by Shakun Batra and produced by Karan Johar under the banner of Dharma Productions.

Kapoor & Sons released on March 18, 2016, and received a great response at the box office.

One of the highlights of the movie's music album was the energetic track "Kar Gayi Chull," which had gone viral among youngsters.

The song, featuring Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra, became a party anthem soon after its release.

Its signature hook step gained immense popularity, and is still a hit with the youth.

One of the best family dramas to come out of Bollywood. The casting was perfect, especially Rishi Kapoor ji. Miss him on screen. The scene where the brothers fight in the rain felt so real. Great to see Alia reminiscing.

Honestly, while the song was fun, I think the movie's real strength was its writing. It handled topics like hidden sexuality and family conflict with a lot of sensitivity, which was quite bold for mainstream cinema at the time. Respect to Shakun Batra.

I watched this with my Indian flatmates in London and even they were explaining some of the family dynamics to me! The music was fantastic, but the story of the grandfather wanting a family photo... that hit hard. Beautiful film.

Can't believe it's been a decade! This movie is a classic now. Every time there's a family function at our home and things get tense, someone jokingly says "Kapoor & Sons situation" 😅. Alia and Sid's chemistry was so fresh and fun.

I appreciate the nostalgia, but I do wish our film industry would look forward more. We keep celebrating anniversaries of movies from 5-10 years ago. Where are the new, original scripts with this kind of heart? Just a thought.
