The dad is always an aashole in each adaptation like god he barely did anything right! If I was the father of Kajol's children I would simply not behave like that.... Shreya also deserved better, he did not ease the kids into knowing her despite having dated her for years like even before they knew about the cancer.... he also left the kids (without their mom or even his gf knowing) with his gf because he's got "important work" but his gf had a freaking competition the next day too? And can't possibly accompany kids ??The whole emphasis on marriage for the 13 year old daughter was so outdated ... The implications for both "step mom" and this movie is that motherhood is a right of passage for each woman, and it's something each women has the capacity for.... not trueIt's also concerning how it frames the mother role as something to be filled out by women; if the dad was a decent person he would have managed (why did shreya have to go the extra mile to make it easier for the kids when he couldn't done that??)All three of them are so freaking hot, it made all this tolerable.For something nice to say: this was an emotional ride regardless; I cried so hard. At the heart of it, it relays how family can be unexpected and unrelated to you. Or even someone you perceive as a complete outsider.

I watched this a couple of years ago and related so much to Julia Roberts' character..... I don't know if it's a cultural thing... my own ageism showing... or Kajol portraying her more sympathetically (maybe I simply grew up) I just felt so much for Maya this time around.... it is absolutely diabolical to watch a woman take your man and kids, and even "do it better than you."

Film ini ceritanya udah sering dipakai, tapi cara penyampaiannya lumayan bagus dan bikin terbawa emosi. Drama keluarga di sini berasa real, nggak terlalu lebay tapi tetap nyesek. Kajol dan Kareena aktingnya solid banget, dan Arjun Rampal seperti biasa, karismanya nggak main-main.

Anjali dan Ankush Gemesin parah. Terus ada satu adegan yang aneh tapi kocak waktu Aman lagi ngomel-ngomel, pas nengok tiba-tiba si Maya turu. 
Overall, film ini cukup enjoyable
