Mom, a highly anticipated feature film starring veteran diva Sridevi in lead role, hit screens today. The response for the film is underwhelming despite Sridevi’s believable performance.
The film belongs to rape-revenge drama genre. How a mother takes law in her own hands and avenges when her daughter’s rapists are acquitted for the lack of incriminating evidence is the film’s basic story line.
The film has a connecting emotional touch, sometimes over-melodramatic though, but logic goes missing often. How a vulnerable and an elderly woman plans and executes strong and influential men with such unbelievable ease..wonder the viewers of ‘Mom’.
With her powerful performance, Sridevi brought alive the vulnerabilities in her character.. Nawazudding Siddiqui’s creepy performance as a detective is another factor that makes one sit through this unconvincing drama. The rest of the cast has also done neat job. The cliched execution has let down Sridevi’s efforts in ‘Mom’.
