I read many reviews and posts online regarding their disappointment over the climax. I might be in the minority but I really liked the climax. Mom on the surface level might highlight the victim's psychological distress but when you dig deeper, I feel it's more about Devki's distress over not being approved as a mother. There are several scenes that does show that after what happens to Arya, Devki is disturbed not only because of what happened to Arya but also because the unforseen event meant Arya distancing herself again from Devki.Even while taking revenge, Devki made sure she does not cross the line and become a murderer. The watchman dies because he slips, the brother is paralyzed, the classmate is falsely accused and sent to jail but when Arya calls her mom instead of Ma'am at the end, Devki finally doesn't give a damn about her own future because she now knows her daughter jas accepted her and hence she kills the guy. That, for me was a perfect climax to Devki's character growth in the film.

I also wanted to point out, the film would not have been the same without Rahman's background score. That whole arial shot of the jeep on the lonely road would mean nothing if not for that haunting background score. Hair raising stuff!

Btw, why is the budget of the movie so high? It didn't look like a big budget film except for the climax.

Mom First Monday Busines
Monday 11 July 2017 12.00 IST
Box Office India Trade Network

Mom (Hindi) had a good hold on Monday dropping around 25% on Monday to collect in the 2.25 crore nett range. Its a good hold but these sort of films that will only be liked by a limited audience have to be doing around the Friday number on Monday and in those terms it should have done better on Monday. The first week seems to be heading for a 22-23 crore nett total and then its all down to where the second Friday lands which will tell where the film is going.

The film has done well in Mumbai but North is very crucial for these multiplex films as it has a large number of premium multiplexes and these theatres which hold strong into week two and three but Mom has not really performed in North and this is where the film will probably struggle in the long run. The collections of Mom for the first weekend are as follows.

Friday - 3,00,00,000

Saturday - 5,00,00,000

Sunday - 6,25,00,000

Monday - 2,25,00,000

Total - 16,50,00,000

The film has done decent business in Mumbai circuit with good contributions from Mumbai city and Pune and should easily clock up around 9 crore nett plus in the circuit.

Very happy for the entire team. Have always liked SridevI's work and so glad that she reinforces her unmatched superstardom with every film she does.
I've seen Sajal and Adnan's work before so it's not surprising that they are being praised. Both of them have played father and daughter previously in the telefilm Behadd.

And I will definitely watch the film, more because Akshay Khanna returned, have always tried to follow his work since DCH, he's a fabulous actor.

Just saw the movie and it was really good. It has its shortcomings but still it was a good effort. Sridevi obviously took the cake and hopefully will sweep all the awards this year. However i think the Indian reviewrs were really biased cuz they didn't praise Sajal enough. I hate Sajal with a passion but she was pretty great in the movie. NAwazuudin was also good and Adnan was apt. Akshay khanna was wasted though.

Is it possible that Boney kapoor is quoting high budget to evade tax?

It doesn't matter if it gets a tag of Hit or not, this movie is accepted very well by audience . In peple's mind, it is a Hit . Who looks at Stats and Budgets😆

@Red - Can't agree more. The impact of that BG score during the scene was more than what we get in screams and loud crying

I agree with your analysis of Climax . Yes Devki didn't "murder" anyone !!

Exactly... I keep scratching my head trying to understand where did 45CR go??? It really looked within a range of 25-30 budget.

I so wish it gets a success tag. Let's see.
