MOM | Reviews & Box Office Thread - 37CR net -DTNpg46 - Page 11

MOM is getting lots of coverage and appreciation in Pak too and it was released in a big way with HUM being the distributor n official PR. For once I suppose having Pak actors worked in favour of the movie, especially since d so-called ban.

Loved the movie so much that I went to watch again with whole bunch of funny friends 😆

FLOP.

Reading houseful comments on here and then seeing actual collection 😃

Slightly better opening than EV...Sat/Sun will tell where it's heading...even EV and Hindi medium went on to become huge hits after low opening

Nawaz and Sridevi carried this movie Sridevi is such a powerhouse actress she made it look very convincing even though such movies have been done so many times she and Nawaz were the reasons. Nawaz' role was different and he was funny mein singer bana chahtha tha meri maa bhi singer bana chahti thi. godo thing about this movie is the pace it doesn't drag or waste any time establishing people its fair quick paced

Mom is a good movie, elevated by brilliant performances, particularly from Sridevi. She is consistently brilliant throughout the movie, never losing the grip of her character. What a superstar this legend is.

Reading the reviews everybody will have got the gist of the storyline, so I will focus on the performances and some standout scenes instead, which make this film.

It's fair to say all the actors play their parts really well, from Sridevi, Nawaz, Sejal, Adnan, Akshaye, to the perpetrators, all are convincing in their roles. Apart form Sridevi, I was really impressed by Sejal and Nawaz the most. Sejal is brilliant in her debut film. And every scene Nawaz had with Sridevi was gold.

But its Sridevi who takes the cake!

The biggest compliment you can give her, you FEEL every single emotion she portrays onscreen. Helplessness, frustration, hatred, distress, you name it, nobody does it better than her. You definitely root for her, even though the execution of how she seeks revenge could have been better.

I love actors who use their eyes to emote, and boy does Sridevi use her eyes! Easily the most expressive eyes in the business!!

Some scenes that stood out, without giving to much details to avoid spoilers:

The family dinner scene, where Sridevi and her husband query about how far party venue is to the daughter. Sridevi says it's really far, and one point she slowly touches her heart. You feel her unease, almost her foreshadowing the horrific incident. The subtlety in Sridevi's acting here is top notch.

Sridevi's breakdown's in the hospital, first when she see's her daughter the first time after the attack, then when the hospital staff inform her of the abuse and thirdly when she incoherently tries to tell her husband to return because they need him. Each breakdown was stunning, so effin real that you cry with her, you feel her frustration and later her hatred towards the perpetrators. Some of the best emotional scenes ever. There was pin drop silence during these scenes in the cinema.

What really adds to plausibility of these scenes, Sridevi really just goes all out with her emotions, in some scenes you can even see her nasal mucus, which only adds to the realistic factor. If Hollywood has Viola Davies, we have Sridevi!!!!

All Nawaz and Sridevi scenes, just amazing. Esp when Nawaz first time meets Sri, in the police station. He is so creepy there!

The last scene. Firstly when Sri pulls the trigger as soon as she hears her daughter call her 'Mom' and then their reunion. Sri's expressions and body language were excellent.

AR Rahman music is a plus, esp the amazing background score. I LOVED Oye Sona Tere Liye- easily the best track of the album.

Overall, a good film with some good all round performances from all the cast, along with an exceptional performance from the legendary Sridevi.

Not exaggerating when i say this not even a little bit but Sridevi for me is the finest actress the country has produced for this performance alone. It was THAT good those nuances in her expressions are as real as real is

Not bad. Hope it picks-up this weekend. The best outcome I see for this is an Average status, still not easy though if the costs are in 30-40CR range. 😕

Watching it in a few hours. 😊
