We Are Family - Movie Review
Watch it for Kajol

We Are Family - Movie Review
For a K-Jo production, We Are Family is surprisingly restrained on melodrama save for its final half hour when the director pulls every string to get the hankies wet. The sentiment-crammed finale could give many a viewer enough lumps in the throat. I, however, was left with cloyed senses.

With Kajol and Kareena pitted against each other, it’s a curious ensemble to gauge their acting mettle. Kajol, must be said, internalizes her character of a mom much better. Her character is envious and possessive, dominating yet succumbing, helpless yet comforting, with all the expressions and moods switching from one to another within a few frames. Kareena, though hold her place, doesn’t really stand out. But what’s worth watching is the chemistry between the two actresses. The icy glances, acerbic retorts, cold vibes between them is all too visible. Arjun Rampal is certainly moving up the learning curve but still has a long way to go. Though he tries his best, he can’t bring out the subdued intensity his character required, something Ed Harris did with aplomb in the original. The kids perform well, but it’s Aanchal Munjal who wins your heart with her natural act.

Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s music is as dull as is stunning the locales of Australia captured by Mohanan’s camera. Director Siddharth P Malhotra makes a promising debut but doesn’t really come up with a movie that touches you deep within. In between the dribs and drabs of truly moving moments, he puts in a few light moments as well (the noodle war, the ‘Jailhouse Rock’ rendition, et al).

Watch the film for Kajol, if you must.

Rating: 2.5 stars out of 5

movie was ok.but direction was not good.director has made movie extreme pathetic with over emotional scenes.agar movie mein hadh se jada rona dhona nai hota toh movie youngsters ko bhi bahut pasand ati.chuki 60% population yougsters ki hai islia movie jada nai chal sakti.kyuki aj ki genereation aissi emotional movies nai bardasst kar sakti.
