Ravi Udyavar-directorial 'Mom' was one of the most anticipated movies of the year. After its trailer created quite a buzz among the audience, the movie was well-received among both viewers and critics. On the first day of the release, Mom has managed to mint Rs. 2.50 crore on box office, which is fair as it faced a clash with Marvel’s superhero venture Spiderman: The Homecoming. It’s palpable that when we’re talking about the legendary actress Sridevi, mediocrity becomes far-fetched. After giving hits like Sadma, Chaalbaz, Mr. India and the recent English Vinglish, Sridevi has added another feather to her hat.
Apart from the acting skills, the amazing and discrete execution of plot led to such a grand reception of the movie. Let’s discuss about some of the amazing facts of Sridevi-starrer ‘Mom’.
- Mom marks Sridevi’s 300th film and is released in the 50th year of veteran actress’ film career.
