There is really just one scene in We Are Family that has any emotional traction. And that can only be bad news for a professed tearjerker.

The scene in question works primarily because of Kajol. As a terminally ill mother lying in a hospital bed, she tells the would-be stepmom of her children (Kareena Kapoor) that she is their past and the latter their future, playing on the word 'kal' (yesterday and tomorrow, jaanewala and aanewala). Sob, sob!

But I hate sob stories, especially those that try too hard to activate the tear-ducts only to fail. (Courtesy)
