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.
