We Are Family is a 2010 Indian Hindi-language family drama film directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra and produced by Hiroo Yash Johar and Karan Johar under Dharma Productions. It was co-produced and distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment and UTV Motion Pictures. An official Indian adaptation of the 1998 American film Stepmom, the film stars Kajol, Kareena Kapoor, and Arjun Rampal in lead roles.
Initially scheduled for release on 10 September 2010, the film was advanced to 3 September to avoid clashing with Dabangg (2010). Upon release, We Are Family received generally positive reviews from critics, with particular acclaim for the performances of Kajol and Kapoor. However, it underperformed commercially, grossing around ₹42 crore worldwide against a budget of ₹28 crore.
At the 56th Filmfare Awards, Kapoor won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role. A promotional mobile video game based on the film was developed and released by Indiagames, a subsidiary of UTV Software Communications.
