What's it about: The first major 'official' adaptation of a Hollywood film makes its way on Hindi screen. Trust Karan Johar to choose a subject that he understands bestu00a0-- it's all about a family once again. We Are Family is a desi version of the Susan Sarandon-Julia Roberts starrer Stepmom. The basic premise remains the same but the story has been changed to suit the palate of the local audience. Aman (Arjun Rampal), a fashion photographer, is divorced from his wife Maya (Kajol) and she lives separately with their three children. Trouble begins to brew when Aman brings into the picture the girl he loves, Shreya (Kareena Kapoor). The children rebel, the ex-wife protests and it forms the perfect setting for misunderstandings galore. While Aman is trying to figure out a way for Shreya to be accepted, it is learnt that Maya has a terminal disease and only a few months to live. Aman's relationship with Shreya suffers as he rushes to his ailing ex-wife's side. Meanwhile Maya, who'd asked Shreya to stay away from their lives, now brings her back into the family, so that her children would have a mother even after she is gone.u00a0
