Devki played by Sridevi is a Biology Teacher in the same class where her daughter eldest Arya (Sajal Ali) is studying. Devki has a perfect family married with two daughters. Arya is a very sensitive girl and does not treat Devki as her mother, as she feels that it is the daughter who enter the mother's life and not vice-versa. Regardless of this Devki still treats Arya well and is hoping to get love from her daughter some day. One night an unfortunate incident happens where Arya is kidnapped and abducted by goons in a car. One could very well imagine what could have happened in the car. This incident widens the distance between the mother and daughter, where return looks unlikely. Will Devki be able to find out the truth and give justice to her daughter? You will have to watch the movie to find out what happens next.
The movie is a gripping thriller right from the beginning till the end and keeps you at the edge of the seat. But there is also some unnecessary drama in the movie which could have been avoided. However, this does not affect the movie at all.
Of the starcast, being her 300th movie this is undoubtedly Sridevi' s movie and her best performance till date, as a caring mother. In the supporting cast, Nawazuddin Siddique as always is entertaining, Akshaye Khanna who plays the cop also gives a good performance, Abhimanyu Singh is menacing and does a fine job, the husband of Devki played by Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui also leaves his mark. The other supporting actors are also good.
The background music of the movie is chilling and the the song O Sona Tere Liye sung by A.R. Rahman is really nice.
The movie is well-directed without any cliches. This being director Ravi Udyawar's first movie is applaudable for the subject and it's treatment, as the subject is very common in today's times.
Overall MOM is a must watch and is recommended.
