The negative reviews of this movie have a common theme among them - it doesn't match up to Hollywood. Well off course it doesn't and nor should it. If you want western films - go watch a Hollywood film! Thats what Hollywood is for. Bollywood is there for us Indians to identify with the characters and emotion. If Bollywood were to become like Hollywood - then whats the point! The film itself was overall fantastic. The best part about it is that it doesn't sell itself on its music. It sells itself on the story and the superb acting from all the actors. I watched stepmom after watching We Are Family and I was impressed how the bollywood version took it one step further and showed life after Kajols death...whereas in Stepmom it didn't. So who says Hollywood is better than Bollywood? The last 10 minutes were fantastic, especially where the children run up to their mother and cry. In those moments, nothing needs to be said by the actors, its completely said through their expressions.
I recommend this film to any bollywood fan.
