'Mummy Punjabi' - a condensed soap opera

Movie: "Mother Punjabi" Address: Pammy Somali Cast: Kirron Kher, Jackie Shroff, Divya Dutta and Kanwaljeet Singh Rating: * 1 / 2

Currently, there are more soap in the soap operas are real people's homes. Therefore, when the movies, the public expects more of disappointment, dramatic series and the condensate, which is the Punjabi mother "is.

Punjabi women living in Chandigarh - Mummy (Kirron Kher) for most children and many - trying to raise her two sons and a daughter with her traditional values, but rare. He loosens his child, but put a leash on their children. Their children, obedient and conform. Most of the time things do not go according to plan, leading to much heartburn for the mother.

"Mom?" has a heart in the right place - shows the clash of value systems and how traditional woman can do with them. The problem is that your performance is not in sync with its intent. What you have is so wordy, simple and caricatured romance that you see on television, which was condensed into two hours. The result is that the relentless action of the film, there is a second room to breath.

That would be great if it was not horrible script that tries to do too much. That suits the director and writer Somali Pammy, who wrote many of the soap series. This does not work on the big screen viewers.

The only Savior of the film is Kirron Kher, who, although very little space in terms of story and direction, not the best, the movie together. However, it is sad that one of the best screen actress of India, a woman whose many talents have been used in works like "Khamosh Pani" is registered as a caricature roles in films directed badly. Bollywood can and should be better for it.

Kanwaljeet Singh, a father of Divya Dutta chilled and chatty as a maid to do a good job too. But the rest of the cast seems straight from the TV series with a big-screen aspirations in their eyes.

Even the bit roles performed by the likes of Jackie Shroff, Satish Kushik, Gurdas Mann and Rohit Roy can not save a movie that plays in the gallery in a very specific and run the script.

This is the case with the movie, you can not do. And if it should be, should be made as a television series. That proved a sensation at the time.
