Movie Review: We are a family

By the time I got out of the movie, I had forgotten its name......In fact, I was almost forgetting my name too! As expected, the movie was full of cliches. Anyone who has seen a bit of Ekta Kapoor serials can and will say the dialogues before the actors do.

The movie should have been called deja vu, all dialogues, story, situations seem so repeated, so seen before.......

Everyone knows the story: AR is divorced, has a girlfriend KK, 3 kids and an ex wife KD. The girlfriend keeps crying and playing the martyr, the kids work hard at making it easier for her to do it, their mom only fights, and dad cant get a hold of whats going on around him. Waise to even the director cant, but thats  another story.

In the middle of all this, mom has cancer and has a change of heart( for a short time). She wants kids to get to know girlfriend so she in turn can die a martyr and girlfriend become mom( yikes............!!!!!). Suddenly you see mom, girlfriend, kids, dad all living together in same house. Atleast they should have shown if the girlfriend stays with dad or sleeps alone...... Bechara dad is still clueless, cant act to save his life, cant even ham like mom if he cant act( Ok, critics call it understated, controlled acting, I call it NO ability). Still, the fights go on....and I went out to make and take calls. Paisa kharcha hai, will leave only when it finishes.

By the time I return, mom is dead, movie ended and I am thankful.

Dont waste your time to see it, and even if you do, dont eat anything inside. The samosas taste too stale, the pepsi seems flat, life is dull.......did I say it earlier too????

Deja Vu.
Starcast:

AR: Arjun Rampal. aka dad. Cant act, seems clueless throughout, wish I had friends like him who would put crores of rupees to make him seem an actor
KK: Kareena Kapoor: aka giorlfriend. Gorgeous. The only bright spark in the movie is when she smiles.
KD: Kajol. aka mom: Wish she wouldnt ham so much. Wish I had a volume control whenever she came on screen........
Kids: Kids aka kids........Wish story writers and directors would get out of old caricatures of kids and copy some new types from somewhere. You can close your eyes and not go to the movie and know their dialogue, reactions, actions........Spare me.
