Movie Review: We Are Family
We Are Family is claimed to be the first official Bollywood adaptation of a Hollywood movie Stepmom. Here I would like to discuss about the story, star cast, and crew of We Are Family.
We Are Family
Based on 1998 Hollywood movie Stepmom, We Are Family (WAF) is the first official Bollywood remake of Hollywood film. In this movie, performances of both, Kajol and Kareena Kapoor, are very prominent. They have put a lot of efforts on the subject of this movie.
This time Karan Johar has chosen debutant director Siddharth Malhotra for his film. Kajol and Kareena have enacted as the lead stars in this movie. One can refer this movie as 'Women Oriented'. Earlier the movie title was 'Love You Maa', but later on We Are Family was finalized.The Story of We Are Family
We Are Family is the story of a mother, her three children, a confused father and a stepmom. Maya (Kajol) has played the character of supermom in this movie whose life revolves around her three children, Aleya (Aanchal Munjal), Ankush (Nominath Ginsburg), and Anjali (Diya Sonecha).
Maya always thinks of about her children. She wants that her children should be well nourished and should always stay away from the problems. Having been divorced from his husband Aman (Arjun Rampal), Maya always wishes good for Aman and children and ensures that they remain a happy family unit.
Here comes a twist. One day Aman introduces his girlfriend Shreya (Kareena Kapoor), a career oriented woman, to Maya. Shreya has a lot to learn about the children and the family. Maya comes to know that Shreya is doing an experiment with children to know them well. Thereby, Shreya starts to stay with the family to become a responsible mom. 
Maya treats Shreya very carefully for the well being of children. Aman starts to live at home for most of the time despite having a busy official life.
Suddenly Aman has to go out of town because of his work. Back home his life takes an unexpected turn. He has to confront unusual situations. He does not wish to do the same with Shreya as happened with Maya in the past. In this situation Maya does everything to get along with Shreya to bring everyone together and make a happy family again.
Despite their differences, the two women confront each other under the same roof to make a happy home and say – We Are Family. Viewer's Rating of We Are Family
