When Rekha's on screen daughter broadcasts her intentions to marry a divorcee-to-be, the earth-shattering tone of the background score suggests a catastrophe akin to Deepak Parashar uttering " Talaaq, Talaaq, Talaaq" to Salma Agha in Nikaah. It's like the director's only brief to his cast, specifically Rekha and Sharman Joshi, is to sob, sigh, weep or wail with glistening eyes as if their life depends on it.Įvery single frame of this tearjerker tests a viewer's tolerance for extreme schmaltz.īottomline: Super Nani comes pretty close to breaking the record rona dhona in that Juhi Chawla melodrama called Saajan Ka Ghar.

Instead it comes out all bland and bumbling. Here's an occasion where a wink of self-referencing - a sprinkle of Umrao, a dash of Chandni - would have laced the scene with impish humour. The veteran adopts this old formula once again for Super Nani and indulges her love for dolling up in kitschier versions of Anarkali, Rosie and Mother India. Whether it's her famously documented metamorphosis off screen or glitzy turn from plain to polished in Khoon Bhari Maang, it's always served her in good stead. Respecting her and valuing her efforts.Rekha has an abundant experience of this recreation. The moral of the movie is importance of your mother and what all she does for you. The movie has a happy end where she reunites with her family and they learn to respect her and value the efforts she makes for keeping them happy. Mann suggests her to teach everyone in the house a lesson so that they start to value her. Even after so much success she misses the love and affection of family members. He gets her modeling assignments which makes her more successful than any of the family members, including her husband.

Then tables turn when her grandson, Mann comes to her rescue. The movie revolves around how an Indian woman, Bharti, who sacrifices her life for her children and husband, and yet they do not value her or her sacrifices, and they all maltreat her.
