Starring Sridevi in lead, Mom is a story of a mother who avenges her daughter’s rape in her own unique way after failed by the legal system.
Though the film is directed by debutant, Ravi Udyawar, Sridevi did not have to think twice about signing up for the project. “His commercials are done so stylishly,” she gushes, “and after working with him, I can’t see anyone else doing justice to the film.”
Sridevi, with her easy give and take with a child star, takes you back for a moment to Mr India. She has a great grip on emotions and becomes the Everymom bringing alive the vulnerabilities, fears, worries and helplessness of any and every mother. But the filmmaker takes the weepy mode way too far, wallows in her tears and almost becomes uncomfortably exhibitionistic with them. Read the review here
