Teenager Arya anticipates a romantic rendezvous with a boy she fancies at a party – a welcome respite from her uneasy and often icy relationship with her stepmother Devki. But that night Arya is gang raped by four men who are released by the police for lack of evidence. Consumed with fury, Devki engages a private detective to avenge her stepdaughter. The suspense that leads to the story’s jaw-dropping ending triggers thoughts on India’s legal system, family relations and its men’s attitude towards women.

Mom is scored by Oscar winning and Asian Film Awards nominated film composer A. R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire) and stars heavyweight actors of Indian cinema. With box office success and critical acclaim in India, Mom is Ravi Udyawar’s convincing debut that is glamorous, gritty and provocative all at the same time.
