i must have seen a different film!!

Excellent but underrated film

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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

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...

A provoking, thoughtful and thrilling masterpiece from Bollywood. The main cast by actress Sridevi Kapoor, actor Akshaye Khanna & multi versatile actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui are pulsating performances. "When GOD cannot be everywhere, he creates MOM to be there". I just love this movie.

Sri Devi gets a fantastic role and gives another brilliant performance. This time it stirs your soul. Every parent would connect with her and join her in this battle. The casting is impeccable. Nawazuddin Siddique shines and every line he speaks makes you whistle and cheer for him. He plays the vulnerable and goofy detective that is brilliant at his job. He says the lines to the antagonist that summarize the movie for me "Mard Rape nahin karte be Suar" The climax is beautifully written and executed. Sri Devi's lines to antagonist will make you cry with pain. Every parent would cry with her.
