Perhaps it’s a question of who blinks first, but apparently
the makers of 'The Mother', decided to change the title of their movie to ‘Maatr-The
Mother’ as another movie titled ‘Mom’ starring Sridevi and produced
by Boney Kapoor is in the offing.
Movie titles, as we all know, are aggressively
fought over, but here there has been a relatively peaceful change in name. Of
course, other than the title, there is little common between the two movies.
While Sridevi’s Mom, traces the fragile relationship between a stepmother and
daughter; Maatr-The Mother is a hard-hitting drama based on one of the most
gruesome crimes committed against women – Rape!
Director Ashtar Sayed confirmed
"We were planning to use the title 'The Mother' for our film but that
title had already been taken and was not available. Also earlier made a
movie titled Mother 98 and we didn't want any connect in the audience's mind
with that. Moreover, we were aware that Mr Boney Kapoor was also making a movie
titled 'Mom'. So we felt that 'Maatr-The Mother' was the best for our film. We
are happy with the title."
Maatr-The Mother’s storyline revolves a mother’s love for her
daughter transcends everything, taking on the corrupt system and societal
impediments. Maatr-The Mother, the producers believe will help create awareness
about a heinous crime and some empathy amongst the viewers for rape
survivors. And Sridevi's 'Mom' where actress plays a stepmom in conflict
with her 18-year old daughter (Pakistani actress) Sajal Aly.
Both the films is touted as a
"women-centric film"
