Good movie but grossly overrated
Fantastic!
Admirable film.
All said and done about Mom being the 6th rape revenge story of the year, theres nothing great in the story, far from being perfect and what not! These are the things the film never had boasted about. They had always been saying that its a simple story. The opening scene where Devki enters her classroom, we get a glimpse of Chandni. The moment she addresses the class, I bet one sees his / her favourite teacher right there on the screen. Thats it! From that moment, one is always there with Devki experiencing all her emotions and flowing with the film. The film hits the right chords. Not a single scene in the film is a waste. A horrendous crime happens in the film, but the way its depicted without going loud and flashy, leaves audiences in discomfort. Sridevi has literally lived Devki. The she cries we cry relation with her remains intact in this film her shivers, her vulnerability, even the shots where she isnt facing the camera, everything creates an impact. Silence speaks volumes here. Sridevi emerges winner yet again in her competition against her previous Best. Perfect example of raising the bars with every appearance. Rest of the cast too has done well. The film ensures that the audiences are glued to their seats till the end. Brilliant background score by A R Rahman. The story is predictable, yet everytime an expected twist happens, it still stirs the right emotion. The director has used symbolism to the core and has done so in a brilliant way. Team Mom has actually nailed it. Everytime one watches the film, one finds something new and interesting . The do is watch it on the big screen break free. Its an experience
I am giving a perfect score just for effortless and brilliant acting by Sridevi. She is a master of her craft and a school in herself. Just look at the scene where she is informed about her daughter. The way she expressed her emotions can't be matched by any other actress today. Even the scenes where there aren't any dialogues, you can see the minor subtleties in her expression which is so rare. It is so sad that she left us so early at such a young age. RIP Sridevi.
SriDevi's landmark performance, one must admit. The sense of bleak , retribution and revenge is pervasive throughout .the film and the viewers are reallu able to feel can feel the anguish , sorrow and guilt of rape crime . All actors had done a superb on screen performance that will remain unpararalled for years to come.It is unsual for Bollywood in recent years to come up with such type film making which are commonly associated with South Indian Cinema.Akshaye Khanna had also the given the performance of his career along side with SriDevi and of course as usual AR Rahman delivered his punch and trademark in the background score.It is emotional and adds on to the anguish. The revenge theme is overbearing. A must watch film..Final word - Spectacular...
The movie is formulated so as to put stress on revenge factor more than the mom factor. It has a very average storyline with just a decent acting and direction.Storyline Rating: 2Acting Rating: 3 Sridevi: 3 Akshaye Khanna: 3 Adnan Siddiqui: 3 Abhimanyu Singh: 3 Nawazuddin Siddiqui: 3Direction Rating: 2Music Rating: 2Cinematography: 2Editing: 2
