When Karan Johar makes movies, you expect it to be a long and heavy emotional drama. The title of We Are Family gives you enough indication of what to expect. But take Karan as a producer, add a newbie director, and SRK out from the combi, and you get a concoction that can only be described as We Are Disaster.
Kajol and Arjun are separated with 3 kids, but when Kajol is diagnosed with cancer, Arjun's girlfriend Kareena decides to help out and becomes a part of the reunited "family". Will she win over the kids loveas their new mumma? A weak and uninteresting plot to start with, the movie meanders along towards an unbearable climax. Arjun looks good and plays his part, the haggard looking Kajol tries hard to win the sympathy of the audience, but something about her characterization doesn't work right and you end up getting irritated with her tantrums. The kids are super irritating, a rare example of sweetness that gets on your nerves. The eldest kid can only be described as an overgrown baby, the director needing to use an adult to play the role of a school kid, given that no real kid would want to get groped on her bum for a completely needless scene. The saving grace is Kareena, who plays her role to perfection, and looks stunningly beautiful in most of the sequences.
The cheesy dialogues and boring screenplay are made worse by a very loud soundtrack a la the movies of the 80s and early 90s. The songs are as forgettable as they come, the music can best be described as pedestrian, and the jail house rock sequence sucks.
Net net, one wonders if Karan is all about SRK - take out SRK, and all you have is nothing.
