6/3/2023 0 Comments Film we are familyKajol and Kareena share a compelling partnership in portraying a household that’s run by two women. What if one says the two divas in the desi ‘Stepmom’ are far more empathetic in their understanding of the complexities of a marriage that has not quite terminated and the alternative relationship which doesn’t know where to go without disrespecting the earlier relationship? Are Kajol and Kareena Kapoor as powerful in portraying the wife and the other woman as Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts in the original? The basic premise and even chunks of sequences and dialogues are taken from Chris Columbus’ ‘Stepmom’. The brew is invigorating and often moving in the way movies stopped affecting us a long time ago. Siddharth Malhotra brings the traditional compassion and large-heartedness of Sooraj Barjatya’s films into the same line of vision as the urban fables about the man-woman relationship of Gulzar’s ‘Ijaazat’ and Govind Nihalani’s ‘Drishti’. It doesn’t take us long into the narration to realize that the debutant director has his own ideas on how urban man-woman relationships work. ‘We Are Family’ is equally appealing from the outside and to the heart. Very few mainstream films manage to look as good on the surface and also capture the heart.
