"Why do Women see their MOTHER'S as a MOTHER & not as a WOMAN herself?"
This Simple..Yet Pertinent & Thought Provoking QUESTION underlines the crux of this film
BIOPICS always take a linear pattern..
The oft repeated route starts from rags to riches...setback in between with glory in the end or sometimes..climax is doomed
The film traces the journey of our HUMAN COMPUTER with her mathematical genius on display in the fourth frame itself.
No formal education.. but her love for numbers makes her a source of livelihood for the family
A tragic incident takes her away from d family & she lands up in London where her maths sees her achieving success..
Post marriage & child .. her comeback to the world of mathematics takes her to even more dizzying heights ..but at the cost of separation from Husband & bitter sweet relationship with Daughter...
Her foray into Astrology..Politics & As an Author are given a fleeting touch..
Screenplay holds well at most places but seems too convenient at times...
Dialogues are apt with wry humour..
Music gels well with the narrative...
VIDYA BALAN.."VIDYA KASAM" steals the show ...ONE WOMAN ARMY
SANYA MALHOTRA..(as daughter) stands tall to the might of VIDYA BALAN
JISSHU SENGUPTA (as Husband) & AMIT SADH (as Son in law) shine in their respective supporting roles
Watch it for the GENIUS of VIDYA BALAN...!!!!
