Mom

After her stepdaughter is raped at a party and left for dead, Devki watches the court release the accused. The girl does not even call her mother. Without telling anyone, she begins finding the four of them one by one. Ravi Udyawar directed. Sridevi plays Devki, Nawazuddin Siddiqui the private detective, Akshaye Khanna the police inspector. Pakistani actor Sajal Aly plays the daughter and Adnan Siddiqui the father. This was Sridevi's three hundredth film and her last leading role. She died on 24 February 2018. She was named Best Actress at the 65th National Film Awards after her death, the first person to receive that award posthumously. A.R. Rahman took a prize for the score at the same ceremony. What stands out is that the revenge is never turned into showy action; Devki is not an action hero but someone moving patiently and quietly. The production was released in four languages at once. Who it is for: viewers who like revenge drama and want to see Sridevi's last work. Who it is not for: anyone unable to carry the weight of the subject.
