Mom

If u give nawazuddin Siddique an opportunity to be on the screen,he wud somehow leave behind his footprints on the sands of time.Howsoever underdeveloped or flat the role might be,with Nawaz,u know he gonna create magic.He plays a PD in this film who aids and abets Sridevi as she seeks revenge on the rapists of her daughter.Semi-bald,sporting sports shoes,driving a scooter,offering unsolicited help and all the while mouthing Jai Bhole nath,Nawaz is the best part of the film.

The film follows the usual script-a stepmom,a rape and honourable acquittal from the court.Then the stepmom seeks vengeance and in comes the PD.A conscientious cop sniffs vigilantism,but sadly akshaye Khanna doesn't have a meaty role here.This guy is really a mystery.He has quite a bit of talent but is not willing to sweat it out.He must have his reasons. The film is watchable because of sridevi.She still has the charisma to pull a film on her shoulders.I didn't find the film boring,but its not one of the best Hindi films of the year either.
