In understand what you mean. Madhavan is actually in his 50s, and it is definetly ageism
But I don't think Dia is playing a typical "mother" role in this, like Reema Lagoo, Farida Jalal, Himani Shivpuri etc used to play in the 90s.
The silver lining is that Dia is not being "de-glamorized" or forced to look older than real age, and play mother to actors who are actually older than her, which was often the case earlier,
(E.g. Shefali Shah played Akshay's mother and Amitabh Bacchan's wife in Waqt (2005).)
