I watched this film last night, it was brilliant. Very sad to find out that the main actress has died. The story of rape and revenge. The justice system lets the victim down, its very sad but happens all to often in real life, (as I went through this sort of thing with my own daughter a few years ago, luckily justice was done in my case. ) The story follows the family of the victim, how they handle the fall out of their child being raped,and how the mother goes out to get her own justice. The film is brilliantly directed, the acting is good in all parts. Although I think that a woman going out and seeking vengeance is not a thing that happens in reality, or would happen. But it shows the length a mother or parent might go to seek justice for their child. Very subtly filmed- where you know the girl is being assaulted but they don't show it. Once again this is a very good film, with great acting.

Exceptional Siridevi
Mom (2017)
The movie was so good. Sridevi and everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs were not good but BGM in the movie was so good. The movie was so interesting and thrilling. But the movie has some logic mistakes and there were some vulgar scenes. But the movie was so good.
Message vs. Quality
Just for the fact I "only" gave this 5 out of 10, I know some will be upset and just go "not helpful". But it is not about what the movie stands for, that I don't think warrants a higher rating. What the movie stands for: that I applaud. And I'm talking about shining a light on how women are misstreated - which in a perfect world would lead to an outcry and a change in policy and maybe even a change in how women are seen and treated.
Unfortunately or rather more likely, that will not be the case. Still a relevant point to be made. And I don't have to tell you that it is tough to watch. The justice system is not the best to say the least and the irritation and madness surrounding it is quite staggering. All that told in a decent enough manner, but always aware that it is still delicate ... So yes cliches are used and we get "shock" effects, the drama reminding one of TV movies of the week.
