Even though this was a disaster in the box office, It is my favorite film. It gives a powerful message of family. It has a lot of violence and has one song with a bunch of girls in bikinis. Compared to... Full review

Well, I get used after awhile to read comments about these movies that don't reflect my experience at all. To me, Amitabh was a better villain here than in some of his most famous movies. He was a die-hard villain,... Full review

Family is a story about two families--that of the simple chef Akshay Kumar and that of the mafia don, Amitabh Bachchan. However, looking more deeply, Family illustrates the power of karma with each of the characters. Akshay Kumar has unconditional... Full review

Family is a hugely entertaining example of Bollywood's ability to extract ideas from American movies and turn them into something distinctly Indian. The film deftly extracts elements from American action blockbusters and expertly blends them with the comedy, romance and... Full review

We know what the film's awesome villain doesn't .....Amitabh Bachchan, in yet another towering performance, rides the film's improbabilities and unnecessary jump-cuts, creating what could comfortably be dubbed his most grey character ever.....A talented actress like Shernaz Patel is completely wasted in the archetypal.....The self-consciously peppy songs and over-emphasized background score(Ram Sampat) could have avoided being so predictable..... ...

And soon enough, to win the heart of the only girl hes ever liked but shes a doctor, Dr Kavita (Bhoomika Chawla, likeable and believable), and he is sure she wont settle for the cook that he is!
The saga of revenge explodes when the world of a notorious, powerful don, and that of a young chefs family suddenly collide, and what began purely circumstantially becomes the sole business of the two families and, of course, the film.

One wonders why a veteran like Bachchan should be subjected to gimmicks 'inspired' by Hollywood flicks.....After her stellar performance in Black, Patel is unfortunately cast in the stereotypical role of the good wife.....Chawla looks pretty when required, which is all.... ... Full Review

In a nutshell, Family - Ties of Blood is a terrible letdown in terms of script and execution.

On the whole, Family - Ties of Blood is too ordinary a fare to create much of an impression.

Apun ka Choice
Considering the expectations that were had from this movie, 'Family' is an utter letdown.
Even if we discount the awfully predictable story of this poorly knit Family, it's hard to comprehend how a movie with notable names like Amitabh Bachchan and Rajkumar Santoshi, could fall flat.
