MOM Packs A Solid Punch To The Women Security Issue In The Country

The debutant director Ravi Udyawar does not let this tale become just a preachy revengeful saga but his approach of depicting the emotional journey and building moments is commendable. The characters are well laid out but the weak point of the film was its editing and the second seems far too stretc...(more)

We Need More Moms Like Devaki In India Where Rape Is Epidemic

Sridevi shows that she is one of the finest actors Bollywood has ever produced and can be proud of. The veteran actress carries the entire film on her shoulders and how! Nobody could have essayed Devaki better than her I feel. At times during the movie I felt, she is not playing Devaki, she IS Devak...(more)

Starring Sridevi, this film primarily revolves around the menacing issue of gang rape, set rightly in the heart of Delh...(more)

More power to Sridevi!

Except things go awry after two of the most contentious traditions of youth culture -- a farmhouse party and Valentine's Day -- combine to become the trigger point for a crime synonymous with Delhi today.

Sridevi, Magnificently Expressive, Is A Treat To Watch

OM has other assets, too, not the least of which is the outstanding quality of the performances that first-time director Ravi Udyawar extracts from his cast. Add to that cinematographer Anay Goswamy's adroit lensing and lighting, and you have a film that is consistently compelling. The visual compos...(more)

Sridevi's heroic performance makes it a must watch!

The director captures the awkward relationship between the mother and daughter beautifully. The portions between Devki and DK also have their endearing moments. A revenge film is a revenge film, after all. There's a lot Udyawar has borrowed from films like Eye For An Eye (Sally Field). It's the trea...(more)
