TSI Five-O: Tearjerker that punches above its weight
Karan Johar's production values are always neat. Shunning Indian settings for foreign locales, the eye candy always masks the other weaknesses in the films; the plot, for instance. 'We Are Family' (an acknowledged remake of 'Stepmom') treads the same path and toes the same lines. And while it is good fare, its insistence on being a tearjerker all the way makes it a tad heavy. The film could have greatly benefited from a slightly higher dose of humour (more scenes like the one where the dad and son have a little chat at the dinn
er table). Melodramatic fare that it is, 'We Are family' lays it on thick in the 'situations-so-emotional-that-you-must-cry' department with the story of a divorced mom Maya (Kajol) bringing up her three kids who learns that she has cervical cancer. She shifts into succession planning mode hunting for someone to replace her for the kids, and needs to look no further than Shreya (Kareena Kapoor) who her ex-hubby Aman (Arjun Rampal) is currently dating. Terminally ill mom breaks the news to the kids, and brings the other woman into the picture. Predictably, they don't get along initially but Maya insists that Shreya can be a good mother. Her logic? She's also a woman, after all! The situations, though clich'd, are handled with maturity.
The reason is Kajol who shines in the film, managing the conflicting emotions within her character with 'lan while Arjun Rampal is mostly relegated to the background, but maintains an assured presence. Kareena Kapoor acquits herself honourably from a role that was tricky to say the least while the fresh faced kids pull off heartwarming performances. The youngest, Anjali, played adorably by Diya Sonecha is the pick of the lot. 'We Are Family' manages to strike an emotional chord (motherhood always does) but a protracted end slightly trivialises the gravitas the story acquires. All said, do remember to keep a box of tissues handy.
