Mom

Sridevi's acting was tremendous in MOM. She just nailed it with her performance. Nawazuddin Siddiqui also did great acting. He just transformed himself. Others (including Akshay Khanna and Sajal ALi) did their job very well. A good screenplay and story makes the movie attractive. The second half of the movie is brilliant. The way by which Sridevi takes revenge is totally different and is awesome. This movie excellently captures the motherly love . So a must watch for everyone who loves his/her mother

Very good revenge thriller. Good Acting. Sensitive subject. Overall a nice movie.

I watched this film last night, it was brilliant. Very sad to find out that the main actress has died. The story of rape and revenge. The justice system lets the victim down, its very sad but happens all to often in real life, (as I went through this sort of thing with my own daughter a few years ago, luckily justice was done in my case. ) The story follows the family of the victim, how they handle the fall out of their child being raped,and how the mother goes out to get her own justice. The film is brilliantly directed, the acting is good in all parts. Although I think that a woman going out and seeking vengeance is not a thing that happens in reality, or would happen. But it shows the length a mother or parent might go to seek justice for their child. Very subtly filmed- where you know the girl is being assaulted but they don't show it. Once again this is a very good film, with great acting.

If u give nawazuddin Siddique an opportunity to be on the screen,he wud somehow leave behind his footprints on the sands of time.Howsoever underdeveloped or flat the role might be,with Nawaz,u know he gonna create magic.He plays a PD in this film who aids and abets Sridevi as she seeks revenge on the rapists of her daughter.Semi-bald,sporting sports shoes,driving a scooter,offering unsolicited help and all the while mouthing Jai Bhole nath,Nawaz is the best part of the film.

The film follows the usual script-a stepmom,a rape and honourable acquittal from the court.Then the stepmom seeks vengeance and in comes the PD.A conscientious cop sniffs vigilantism,but sadly akshaye Khanna doesn't have a meaty role here.This guy is really a mystery.He has quite a bit of talent but is not willing to sweat it out.He must have his reasons. The film is watchable because of sridevi.She still has the charisma to pull a film on her shoulders.I didn't find the film boring,but its not one of the best Hindi films of the year either.

Words could not express the shock and disbelief that I felt upon hearing the sad news of Sridevi's sudden and untimely demise. It's still hard to believe that this beautiful woman, who was only 54, looked so much younger, and whose graceful presence and impeccable talent have been an integral part in the lives of so many lovers of Indian cinema, is no more. That's what made me watch this movie right away. We had planned to see the film before; little did we imagine that it would inevitably become her last film which would be watched after her passing.

Mom is a very nice thriller, very well thought of, written and directed. It's a little too dramatic at some points, but everything is within context and is not overblown. There's no need to give away any sort of details about the story and the proceedings, but one thing, as expected, remains its central force, and it is of course Sridevi herself, and her astounding performance. Sridevi had a vast career graph, with films in many languages, among which sadly not many were great masterworks. Her extraordinary, intense acting talent had always transcended the quality of any film she was in, however, and Mom, while a very good film in and of itself, is no exception in this regard. Her Devki is an amazing portrait of quiet determination and exhilarating strength. Just see the scene when Devki is notified of her daughter having been raped. This act brings back, just for one moment, the uninhibited, trademark Sridevi style that people love to see and probably not expected in an otherwise restrained portrayal. Her full-outburst reaction shows, for the umpteenth time in the career of this gifted actress, her ability to perform the most difficult scenes with ease, full authenticity, and the most alarmingly intense levels of expression. The great thing about this performance, however, is that it is not just a performance of great moments - her overall character development is the great moment itself, and her presence alone speaks volumes. She is real, genuine, and plays the most basic and casual bits with amazing depth and conviction, which never take away from her cinematic appeal. She was a true master of her craft in terms of commanding the attention of her audience at any point.

Twenty years ago, Sridevi, who had by then long been arguably one of the most hard-working and prolific actresses in India, retired from films to devote herself to her family and to being a mom. It's so ironic that her last, full-fledged film appearance ended up being this film, simply titled Mom. It's a little comforting that her screen farewell is such a nice film. This, along with her previous venture, English Vinglish, are the two ultimate, memorable goodbye presents Sridevi gifted her fans with before leaving, just to seal the illustrious list of films in her impressive career. Long live Sridevi, may her remarkable legacy in cinematic history live on forever in the hearts of anyone who loves films and appreciates true acting talent.
