Somebody said that mind is needed to copy some thing or its a type of talent. We Are Family , Dharma Productions’ official remake of Hollywood hit Stepmom , makes it look as if it can’t be done.

Maya (Kajol) is raising three children on her own, because husband Aman (Rampal) is now an ex. He’s the kind of ex any divorced woman would be happy to have, though: instead of getting lost in new flame Shreya’s (Kareena) arms, as he properly should, he’s always going on about his beloved children .

Of course, Maya is the perfect stay-at-home mom, and of course Shreya is the complete career woman, so there is Conflict. Not just their mother, who has the decency to look cheesed off at the new woman in her husband’s life, the children hate her, too.

“I don’t want to be your mom, but we can be friends, no?” says Shreya, whisking away her frillies strewn in the father’s bedroom. The children proceed to behave badly. If I were Shreya, I’d threaten to thwack them, too. Sadly, she seems to have no child-rearing skills at all. Can’t be that hard to keep them fed and watered as they seem to subsist on bread and pizza (the spaghetti is used solely to be flung at each other), but she flubs that too, as Maya grows increasingly wan and pale, and poor Aman shuttles between both.

This is a film geared to flood our emotional valves : how can anyone remain unmoved at the impending, untimely death of a mother, who lives only for her children? Maya’s discovery that she has very little time left should have shaken us to our core: Kajol gets in there somewhat, but not all the way. No one, not the immaculately put together Kareena, nor the slimly sketched Arjun Rampal, gets to do that.
It’s all so contrived that you despair of this film having a single genuine emotion. The little girl’s constantly cutesy, the older girl is just getting her teenage spurs and keeps throwing tantrums, the boy is the only one who feels a tad real.

Those who’ve seen the original can mouth the dialogue as they go along: the lines are in Hindi, but it sounds as if this whole bunch is talking in English. Susan Sarandon-Julia Roberts-Ed Harris made Stepmom good in a super schmaltzy, three-hanky kind of way: We Are Family doesn’t even get the cheese right, even when it manages to wring a few tears. “ Har aurat mein ek maa chhupi hoti hai ” (all-knowing Kajol to running-scared Kareena, in one of their heart-to-heart scenes) is gag-inducing : did we really hear that?

Nagesh Kukunoor, the director of Aashayein movie say thanks to his brother Dr. Rajesh Kukunoor, an oncologist doctor which is live in Arizona, USA.

Nagesgh say thanks because the movie is about a cancer patients so Nagesh get some help from his brother and inspired to make the movie Aashayein.

The conversations the director had with his sibling served as the reference point for the John Abraham-Sonal Sehgal starrer.

“My brother often related the case histories of his patients to us at home. He would tell us that it was never easy having conversations with them and gauging the way they would respond,” said director Nagesh.

“It was intriguing to know how these people responded,” he added.

‘Munni Badnaam Hui Ddarling Tere Liye’, by this song from Salman starer movie Dabangg is in controversy which is going to be release on 10th Sept 2010.

An activist has filed a petition in the city civil court seeking deletion of the word ‘Hindustan’ from a song in forthcoming movie Dabangg. Rajkumar Tak, in his petition, has alleged that the song has used nation’s name hurting the patriotic sentiments of every Indian.

Through his advocate Sushan Kunjuram, Tak has said that he was shocked to hear the promos of the song Munni badnaam hui… “The vulgar item song shows girl called Munni indecently dancing… and one corrupt police officer who in his uniform sings Leh Hindustan hui darling tere liye,” Tak’s petition says.

The petition adds that the producers, director and lyricist have jointly committed “mockery” of our nation, which is “highly objectionable” and “unpardonable”.

Tak’s petition also said the Censor board has neglected and failed to discharge their duties by not noticing the “defaming” lyrics. The case is likely to be heard on August 30.

The Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor is also known as her famous name Bebo. She feels the right balance between the commercial & meaningful cinema in the Bollywood.

Kareena hailing from an illustrious film family, she said she can’t do those films where she just only has to dance around trees.

“I enjoy acting. Acting is in my blood, it is in my genes, it is in my DNA and you can see that on screen I like doing different roles. I can’t do just those films where I am looking pretty and sing and dance around trees. I want to act,” said Bebo.

The 29 years old, Kareena considers that her debut film Refugee (2000) was a special film in the Bollywood cinema.

“Refugee was a very special film because I always wanted to prove myself as an actress and not to be known just as a glam doll. There are films like Refugee, Chameli, Omkara, Jab We Met, 3 Idiots and Kurbaan, they all films have been very different,” said Kareena.

“I don’t think any other actress has been able to do such a variety of roles. So the journey, I think, has been colourful,” she added.

“In the upcoming film We Are Family, I didn’t have to be with the kids because they had their mother (Kajol). The children were really lovely, they didn’t get impatient. They were acting like adults, not like children,” said Kareena.

Bollywood beautiful actress Katrina Kaif always said that she was single and have no relationship with actor Salman Khan. Now Katrina finally confirmed that she was single.

Katrina said to reporters that, “I am single. But beyond that I don’t think I need to give too much of details.”

Katrina said above statement at the Trident hotel, where she was named as the international brand ambassador of Etihad Airways. Etihad Airways is the national airlines of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Katrina said in brief that, “Sometimes it’s hard enough to take decisions, professional sometimes but mostly personal and wherever the decision that you have to take, it’s very difficult to take them and if you have to make them in front of everybody, whether it’s media, or the public or the world, I think that’s a little bit more than what I can handle. That’s why for six years, I have never commented who I am with, if I had a break up, if there is an argument.”
