The most popular family in the Bollywood industry has been in the business since 1927. We are talking about the Kapoor family which began with Prithvinath Kapoor one of the founding figures of Hindi cinema. Apart from being an actor he established Prithvi Theatres in 1944. Later under his son Shashi Kapoor and daughter-in-law Jennifer Kendal Prithvi Theatre merged with the Indian Shakespeare theatre company Shakespeareana. The company finally found a permanent home with the inauguration of Prithvi Theatre in Mumbai on November 5 1978. They staged more than 2600 plays including Deewar Pathan Ghaddar Aahuthi Kalaakar Paisa and Kisaan. By 1983 the Prithvi Cafe attached to the theatre had become a popular gathering spot for artists and art lovers. Following Jennifer Kapoor’s passing her eldest son Kunal Kapoor took over the responsibility of running the theatre. Over the years Prithvi Cafe has welcomed countless visitors from across Mumbai. For the unversed Kunal made his debut with the 1972 English-language film Siddhartha and later appeared in Shyam Benegals Junoon. His first mainstream Bollywood film was Ahista Ahista where he starred opposite Padmini Kolhapure. He also acted in Vijeta. However he eventually left acting to establish his own company Adfilm-Valas which focused on producing and directing television commercials. After some time he shifted his complete focus to managing Prithvi Theatre. The cafe offers an extensive menu with a variety of options to choose from. Some of their must-try items include Keema Pav Apple Cinnamon Muffin Cheese Paratha Amritsari Masala Kulcha and Irish Coffee.
