You need not stick with the familiars like Forrest Gump (1994), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), and Marley & Me (2008) for family movie night. The charm of these films are incontestable, but this genre can have more to offer. There are some family movies that open up a helpful dialogue about complex issues related to mental health, corrosive family dynamics, and contentious moral issues.
A few of these family movies on Prime can also be the perfect way to unwind together after a day of office or classes due to how undemanding, wholesome, and cosy they can be.
Here are five feel-good family movies to watch on Amazon Prime to add to your family movie night roster.
Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007)
This Siddharth Anand movie was the aftermath of the success of the Saif Ali Khan-Rani Mukerji duo in Hum Tum (2004).
The film follows the journey of Rajveer ‘RV’ Singh () and Radhika Rai (). They build a family through the ups and downs of RV’s exciting career, where he goes from a car racing team’s pit crew member to a race car driver himself. We follow the heartrending arc of a family riding high on financial success until an accident overturned their economic state.
Though, fret not. Even though the film explores the issue of downward economic mobility and its painful consequences, the happy ending and the buoyant performances of Jaaved Jaaferi, Rani Mukerji, and Saif Ali Khan soothe your anxiety after the turbulent rollercoaster the film takes you on.
