Mrs. Devki Sabarwal is a [[biology]] teacher and vivacious and popular among her students. In the class, a student, Mohit Chadda sends Devki's stepdaughter, Aarya Sabarwal an offensive [[video]] and Devki throws his phone out of the window. At home, despite Devki's persistent and warm approach toward her, Aarya remains frosty and distant, rebuffing her attempts to build a relationship. Aarya is invited to Valentine's Day party at a farmhouse called Zodiac Farms, Devki and her husband Anand Sabarwal permit this with great hesitation. Aarya rejects Mohit and his cousin brother Charles Deewan at the party. Angered by this very public rejection, Charles, Mohit, their [[criminal]] friend Joginder 'Jagan' Singh, and the security guard of the farmhouse Babu Ram Yadav attacks Aarya when she leaves the party. They brutally [[rape]] her and dump her in a drain along the side of a road, leaving her for dead after half-strangling her. She is found barely alive and brought to the [[hospital]], where she undergoes various operations to save her. Devki and Anand are shattered. Aarya soon recovers and releases a statement naming her attackers.
Devki Sabarwal is a vivacious [[biology]] teacher who is popular with her students. However, her stepdaughter Arya rebuffs her attempts to build a relationship despite Devki's persistence and warmth, as she still misses her biological mother. One day in class, a student Mohit Chadda sends Arya an inappropriate video; Devki throws his phone out the window. When Arya is invited to a [[Valentine's Day]] party at Zodiac Farms, Devki and Arya's father Anand reluctantly allow her to go. Arya rejects the advances of Mohit and his cousin, Charles Deewan, at the party. Angered by the public rejection, Charles, Mohit, their [[criminal]] friend Joginder "Jagan" Singh, and farmhouse security guard Baburam Yadav ambush and kidnap Arya when she leaves the party. They brutally [[gang rape]] and strangle her, then dump her in a roadside ditch, leaving her for dead. Arya is found barely alive by a man walking his dog the next morning, and brought to a [[hospital]]; Devki and Anand are shattered. She suffers serious internal injuries, but recovers over the next month and names her attackers.


Inspector Matthew quickly rounds up the attackers. However, the case falls apart when Aarya was found to be drinking, thus building the argument that her memory is unreliable. The body samples were recovered very late and were too weak to match the attackers. The judge acquits the four attackers due to lack of evidence. Her lawyer suggests appealing to a higher court but Devki has lost faith. Aarya, still in shock and broken by the court verdict, tears away from Devki. In sorrow, Devki realizes she has probably lost Aarya forever.
Inspector Mathew Francis quickly rounds up the perpetrators; however, the case falls apart when Arya is found to have consumed alcohol at the party, raising the possibility that her memory is unreliable. In addition, the tardily-collected semen samples are too weak to match those of her attackers. The four men are acquitted due to a lack of evidence. Arya, in shock and broken by the verdict, withdraws and tears away from Devki. The family's lawyer suggests appealing to a higher court, but Devki has lost her faith in the legal system.


Devki recalls the somewhat shady detective, Daya Shankar Kapoor (abbreviated DK), whom she'd met on the night Arya was raped. A father of a daughter himself, he understands her pain and agrees to help her as Devki wants justice and revenge for Aarya.
Devki remembers a shady detective, Dayashankar Kapoor ("DK"), whom she had met at the police station on the night of the crime. Having a daughter himself, DK understands her pain and agrees to help her seek revenge for Arya's ordeal. Devki enlists her former students to attack Baburam, and they seduce and drug him. He awakens four days later, still drunk and remembering nothing, and discovers that he has been [[castrated]]. In a state of shock, he [[Accidental death|dies in an accident]]. Devki then breaks into Charles' home and mixes crushed apple seeds, a source of [[cyanide]], into his powdered nutritional supplement. Charles is paralysed, and when Mohit visits him at the hospital, Devki (tipped off by DK) plants apple seeds and other evidence at Mohit's home; however, she leaves behind her glasses. Mathew quickly arrests Mohit and he is charged with murder since Charles is dying.


The watchman Babu Ram is first. Devki seeks the help of her former students - transgender people who understand her plight. They seduce Babu Ram and drug him. He awakes four days later, still drunk, and finds, to his horror, that he has been [[castrated]] and remembers nothing. In a state of shock, he [[Accidental death|dies in an accident]]. The hotshot Charles is next. Devki breaks into his home and mixes crushed apple seeds &ndash; a source of [[cyanide]] &ndash; into his fitness powder. Charles is paralyzed. When Mohit visits Charles at the hospital, Devki, tipped off by DK, plants apple seeds and other evidence at Mohit's home. Inspector Matthew quickly arrests Mohit; Charles will die soon and Mohit will be the murderer. As Devki takes down each of Aarya's attackers, their situations make it on the news, which Aarya follows with surprise. She believes it may be her father, and she is deeply grateful to him. Matthew also suspects the father but, although he has him tailed, cannot catch him out. Then he finds Devki's glasses in Mohit's apartment and starts suspecting her.
As Devki eliminates each of Arya's attackers, their stories appear on the news, which Arya sees. She starts to believe that a vigilante (perhaps her father) is at work, and is deeply grateful. Mathew also suspects Anand, since he had attacked Mohit in court; he has Anand tailed but learns nothing. Mathew finds Devki's glasses in Mohit's apartment and begins to suspect her. He warns Devki that the fourth man, Jagan, is a hardened criminal and that going after him will endanger her family. Jagan visits Mohit, who is being physically abused by another inmate in prison and insists he was framed. Jagan then visits Charles, who tells him "Mom" before he dies, revealing Devki is the perpetrator. Jagan goes after DK and learns that Devki and her family are on holiday at a snow cottage in [[Kufri, India|Kufri]]. He kills DK and tracks down Devki. Mathew later finds a hidden camera in DK's glasses and hurries to save Devki.


Matthew confronts Devki but there is no evidence. He warns her that the fourth man, Jagan, is a hard [[criminal]]: going after him is dangerous for her family. Jagan visits Charles and in Charles' final moments before death, learns that it is "the mom" (Devki) who is retaliating. He goes after DK and discovers that Devki is on a holiday at a snow cottage in [[Kufri, India|Kufri]]. He kills DK and goes after Devki. Matthew discovers a hidden camera in DK's glasses and hurries to save Devki.
Jagan cuts the power to the cottage and shoots Anand. He corners Arya but has a scuffle with Devki while Arya flees outside. Jagan chases her, and Devki tries to save her stepdaughter. Jagan is about to kill Devki when Mathew tackles him. In a standoff, Devki and Mathew point their guns at Jagan; Matthew tries to dissuade Devki by telling her that Anand is alive, and she will go to jail if she shoots Jagan. Jagan angrily describes how Devki finished off the other attackers, which Arya overhears. Devki knows that if Jagan is left alive, he will come after her again; Mathew then hands her his gun and urges her to kill Jagan. Devki hesitates, but when an overwhelmed Arya calls her "Mom" for the first time, she shoots Jagan dead. Arya and Devki share a tearful, tender embrace.
 
Jagan cuts power at the cottage and shoots Anand. There is a scuffle and Aarya runs out into the snow. Jagan pursues her and Devki tries to save her. As Jagan is about to kill Devki, Matthew intercepts and tackles Jagan. There is a standoff: Devki points a gun at Jagan and Matthew attempts to talk her down by telling her that Anand is alive and in the hospital and if she shoots him, she'll go to jail. Aarya, in the bushes, overhears Jagan when he angrily relates how Devki finished off the other attackers. Devki knows if Jagan is left alive he will come after her again. At this point, Matthew hands her his gun and urges her to kill him. Devki hesitates but when an overwhelmed Aarya acknowledges Devki as ''‘Mom’'' for the first time, Devki shoots Jagan dead.
Aarya and Devki share a tearful and tender embrace.

Mom is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Ravi Udyawar, with a screenplay by Girish Kohli.[4][5] The film stars Sridevi as a vigilante who sets out to avenge her stepdaughter after she is raped at a party. The film co-stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Akshaye Khanna, and Pakistani actors Sajal Aly and Adnan Siddiqui.[6][7] The music of the film was composed and produced by A. R. Rahman.[8]

Mom was released on 7 July 2017 in four languages. It was a global blockbuster, grossing ₹175.7 crore (US$25 million) worldwide. The film received positive reviews from critics, with Sridevi receiving widespread acclaim for her "powerhouse" performance. It was her 300th (and final) major film appearance before her death on 24 February 2018.[9][10]

Mom received two awards at the 65th National Film Awards: Best Actress (Sridevi, the first posthumous award in that category) and Best Background Score (Rahman). The film received six nominations at the 63rd Filmfare Awards, including Best Actress and Best Actress (Critics) (both for Sridevi) and Best Supporting Actor (Siddiqui).

Plot[edit | edit source]

Devki Sabarwal is a vivacious biology teacher who is popular with her students. However, her stepdaughter Arya rebuffs her attempts to build a relationship despite Devki's persistence and warmth, as she still misses her biological mother. One day in class, a student Mohit Chadda sends Arya an inappropriate video; Devki throws his phone out the window. When Arya is invited to a Valentine's Day party at Zodiac Farms, Devki and Arya's father Anand reluctantly allow her to go. Arya rejects the advances of Mohit and his cousin, Charles Deewan, at the party. Angered by the public rejection, Charles, Mohit, their criminal friend Joginder "Jagan" Singh, and farmhouse security guard Baburam Yadav ambush and kidnap Arya when she leaves the party. They brutally gang rape and strangle her, then dump her in a roadside ditch, leaving her for dead. Arya is found barely alive by a man walking his dog the next morning, and brought to a hospital; Devki and Anand are shattered. She suffers serious internal injuries, but recovers over the next month and names her attackers.

Inspector Mathew Francis quickly rounds up the perpetrators; however, the case falls apart when Arya is found to have consumed alcohol at the party, raising the possibility that her memory is unreliable. In addition, the tardily-collected semen samples are too weak to match those of her attackers. The four men are acquitted due to a lack of evidence. Arya, in shock and broken by the verdict, withdraws and tears away from Devki. The family's lawyer suggests appealing to a higher court, but Devki has lost her faith in the legal system.

Devki remembers a shady detective, Dayashankar Kapoor ("DK"), whom she had met at the police station on the night of the crime. Having a daughter himself, DK understands her pain and agrees to help her seek revenge for Arya's ordeal. Devki enlists her former students to attack Baburam, and they seduce and drug him. He awakens four days later, still drunk and remembering nothing, and discovers that he has been castrated. In a state of shock, he dies in an accident. Devki then breaks into Charles' home and mixes crushed apple seeds, a source of cyanide, into his powdered nutritional supplement. Charles is paralysed, and when Mohit visits him at the hospital, Devki (tipped off by DK) plants apple seeds and other evidence at Mohit's home; however, she leaves behind her glasses. Mathew quickly arrests Mohit and he is charged with murder since Charles is dying.

As Devki eliminates each of Arya's attackers, their stories appear on the news, which Arya sees. She starts to believe that a vigilante (perhaps her father) is at work, and is deeply grateful. Mathew also suspects Anand, since he had attacked Mohit in court; he has Anand tailed but learns nothing. Mathew finds Devki's glasses in Mohit's apartment and begins to suspect her. He warns Devki that the fourth man, Jagan, is a hardened criminal and that going after him will endanger her family. Jagan visits Mohit, who is being physically abused by another inmate in prison and insists he was framed. Jagan then visits Charles, who tells him "Mom" before he dies, revealing Devki is the perpetrator. Jagan goes after DK and learns that Devki and her family are on holiday at a snow cottage in Kufri. He kills DK and tracks down Devki. Mathew later finds a hidden camera in DK's glasses and hurries to save Devki.

Jagan cuts the power to the cottage and shoots Anand. He corners Arya but has a scuffle with Devki while Arya flees outside. Jagan chases her, and Devki tries to save her stepdaughter. Jagan is about to kill Devki when Mathew tackles him. In a standoff, Devki and Mathew point their guns at Jagan; Matthew tries to dissuade Devki by telling her that Anand is alive, and she will go to jail if she shoots Jagan. Jagan angrily describes how Devki finished off the other attackers, which Arya overhears. Devki knows that if Jagan is left alive, he will come after her again; Mathew then hands her his gun and urges her to kill Jagan. Devki hesitates, but when an overwhelmed Arya calls her "Mom" for the first time, she shoots Jagan dead. Arya and Devki share a tearful, tender embrace.

Production[edit | edit source]

Casting and development[edit | edit source]

It was announced in early 2016 that Sridevi would star in Boney Kapoor's upcoming women's film, Mom, which would be directed by Ravi Udyawar.[11] Nawazuddin Siddiqui was cast in a leading role, and said that it was a dream come true for him to work with Sridevi.[12] Akshaye Khanna and actors Sajal Aly and Adnan Siddiqui were then cast,[13][14] and A. R. Rahman was signed to compose the film's music.[15]

Filming[edit | edit source]

Filming began in New Delhi in March 2016 near Shri Ram College of Commerce at Delhi University and Noida Film City.[16][17] Mom was then filmed on a lengthy schedule in Mestia, Georgia.[18] The crew shot in freezing conditions (−7 °C (19 °F)) for over two months.[19] Despite the weather, filming was successful.[20] Shooting resumed in March 2017, and the film's last leg was completed in Bangkok.[21]

Release and marketing[edit | edit source]

Mom was previewed at the 2017 Zee Cine Awards by Salman Khan, who called Sridevi "a bigger star than the Khans."[22][23] Sridevi shared the trailer on Twitter, where it went viral.[24] It had 1.2 million views in its first 24 hours on YouTube,[25] and had a positive reception in Pakistan.[26] The trailer's success had distributors in South India asking for a dubbed version of the film.[27] The filmmakers announced that Mom would also be dubbed and released in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.[28]

The film was released in China on 22 March 2019, two years after its release in India. Zee Studios International and its distributors, released an international poster for Chinese audiences.[29]

Reception[edit | edit source]

Box office[edit | edit source]

Mom grossed ₹14.25 crore on its first domestic weekend,[30] and had a domestic gross of about ₹51.78 crore. It grossed ₹3.87 crore in North America, ₹164 million in the United Kingdom, ₹4.2 million in Australia, ₹1.4 million in New Zealand, ₹34.5 million in the United Arab Emirates, ₹100,000 in Malaysia, and ₹36 million in the rest of the world, bringing its worldwide 2017 gross to ₹64.9 crore.[31]

The film was released in China on 10 May 2019.[32] It had an opening-weekend gross of US$5.96 million (₹41.8 crore) in that country,[33] ranking fourth behind the Hollywood films Pokémon Detective Pikachu and Avengers: Endgame and the Arabic film Capernaum.[34] By 4 June 2019, Mom had grossed $16.97 million[35] (₹110.8 crore) in China.[36]

Critical response[edit | edit source]

Sridevi's performance in the title role received widespread critical acclaim, earning her the National Film Award for Best Actress.

Mom received positive reviews from critics, with Sridevi's performance receiving widespread critical acclaim. Meena Iyer of The Times of India gave the film four stars out of five and said, "This one still manages to stay ahead with some interesting twists and turns".[37] Sarita A. Tanwar of Daily News and Analysis gave it three stars, saying, "Mom is interestingly cast and that's a major part of the battle won."[38] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film two out of five stars: "The plot is riddled with holes, and is too focused on Sridevi."[39] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV India gave it 3.5 out of five stars, saying that the film was not a "conventional rape-and-revenge drama" with a "clearly defined moral and emotional context."[40] Mayank Shekhar of Mid-Day gave it three out of five stars; "the filmmakers effectively employ their talent" on the ensemble cast, characters, and "fine passages of photography and production design."[41] According to an IANS review in The Economic Times, "The scenes are cut in a way that they heighten the drama without resorting to hysteria."[42] Kunal Guha of the Mumbai Mirror gave the film 3.5 out of five stars and said, "Several scenes in Mom wordlessly convey more than what can be said through dialogue."[43] Rajeev Masand of News18 India gave it 2.5 out of five stars and said, "Mom is a far from perfect film, but it's never boring."[44] Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times gave the film three stars out of five and said that it "can hold the audience's attention".[45]

Sridevi's performance was highlighted. India Today called the actress "unbelievably good as the mother thirsty for revenge,"[46] and NDTV found her "magnificently expressive as the titular figure."[40] A reviewer in The Times of India said that she gave a "captivating performance where she walks you through the entire gamut of emotions with panache",[37] and an Indian Express reviewer wrote: "Sridevi needs only a twitch or a glance to prove that she is a powerhouse and there are several scenes she lifts by just being there."[39] According to Deccan Chronicle, "Turning your eyes elsewhere will be criminal when Sridevi is on screen in the film,"[47] and Rediff called the actress "the master of expressivity ... it's classic Sridevi."[48] Rajeev Masand said, "Sridevi's performance elevates Mom to another level".[49] According to a Firstpost review, "Here is a 53-year-old leading actress doing what Amitabh Bachchan once excelled at ... Sridevi is a far more riveting watch than a shirtless Salman Khan with his 6 plus packs or the quintessential middle-aged Hindi film hero, who refuses to grow up ... Suddenly, Bollywood shines bright with hope for the heroine over 50."[50]

Manjusha Radhakrishnan of Gulf News gave Mom 3.5 out of five stars, calling the film a "taut thriller studded with some superlative performances".[51] Sadaf Siddique of Dawn wrote, "It is the riveting performances that hold the narrative together despite its flaws."[52] Rohit Bhatnagar of Deccan Chronicle gave the film three out of five stars in a lukewarm review: "Although the production of the film makes it look grand and fancy, the climax is too dramatic for such an intense film."[53]

Awards and nominations[edit | edit source]

Ravi Udyawar directed Mom and the movie was qualified for the 75th Golden Globe Awards in the foreign film category. As this is the last film for Sridevi, Boney Kapoor says that their motive is to share the beautiful story and honor her.[1]
