#MOVIE #REVIEW – #MOM
(2017)
Today we are here with the review of one more movie based onthe
women issue released last Friday namely #MOM
(2017), starring Veteran actress Sridevi, Akhay Khann, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Pakistani debutant actrors
Adnan Saddiqui & Sajal Ali in lead roles. The movie is directed by directed by debutatnt
director Ravi Udyawar and Co-produced by Boney Kapoor & others. The movie is based on the alarming
sexual violence on women in our society.
PLOT:
It is a story of a teenaged student Arya Sabrawal (Sajal Ali),
who got raped by her classmate Mohit and his associates, one among whom is a
criminal. The culprits are committing the heinous crime inhumanly dumped Arya
into a drain presuming her to be dead.
The culprits by corrupt means are declared innocent by the Court
and Arya’s Step-mother Devaki (Sridevi), a school teacher, aggrieved by the
pain of her daughter decides to avenge Arya’s Rape in her own way which is not
an easy job. She is helped by a private detective i.e. Nawazuddin Siddiqui but
Crime Branch Officer Akshay Khanna comes in there way.
How Arya’s Mom is able to avenge her daughter’s culprits is the
film all about.
ANALYSIS:
The movie made a point about the judicial system of the country
where rapists are got freed by the Courts and the victim is traumatised. Like
many such movies, the present movie justifies taking law of the land into hands
which I think is a grim situation for the largest democracy of the world.
The movie shows a 21st century strong Mom Devaki,
unlike earlier times mom who would have pleaded the culprit “Bhagwan
ke liye shod do”. This is the Mom who doesn’t hesitiate to avenge her
daughter’s rapists when even Court has let them free. The movie appropriately justifies
the dialogue “Kyonki Bhagwan har jagah nahin pahunch paate, isiliye unhone Maa
banaai”.
The movie is inspired by the reality
of our society. I wish every woman who has been the victim of eve-teasing,
molestation, rape, domestic violence or Sexual Harassment could get justice and
no Devaki need to take law into her hands.
The film is gripping and some of its
scenes make you shed tears especially Sridevi’s hospital scene where she gets
to know that her daughter has been raped. Background music by A.R. Rahmaan is
just spot on.
WHAT’S GOOD:
Gripping story, great direction and
spectacular acting by all the star cast especially Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who is
a treat to watch in a new avatar.
LOOP HOLES, WHAT I THINK:
Sridevi’s hindi accent as a North
Indian mother.
STAR PERFORMANCES:
Sridevi once again proves that she
one of the greatest actors, the Bollywood has ever produced. She has played
Devaki with such a perfection that it look like she is actually living the
character.
As always Nawazuddin Siddiqui is
outstanding. He has played the role of a private detective with perfection. I
just loved it.
Akshay Khanna too impressed with
role of a tough cop.
Pakistani actors Adnan Siddiqui also
played the role of grief stricken father brilliantly and Sajal Ali also put up
a nice performance.
FINAL WORDS:
A Must watch movie. We need Moms
like Devaki, who can protect their daughters from the wolves roaming here and
there.
My ratings for this movie is 3 out of 5 stars.
So keep following the page, good day till the next review
