For the unversed, Mom is special for many reasons. It was not only Sridevi's 300th film but also her last release before her sudden demise in February last year. Directed by Ravi Udyawar, the film showed Sridevi as a mother who sets out to ensure justice for her step-daughter, essayed by Pakistani actress Sajal Ali, who was gang raped. 

Sridevi won the Best Actress National Award posthumously for her role in the movie. The film was previously released in 40 regions including Poland, Russia, the UK, the US, Singapore and the Czech Republic.
