Thanks to Someone420 for these shots! :thumbs:

SYNOPSIS OF MAMMO:

National Film Festival - Best Feature Film In Hindi
Filmfare - Best Actress (Critics)
National - Best Supporting Actress Mammo (Farida Jalal)

Mammo (Farida Jalal) arrives in Bombay unannounced to stay with her sister
Fayyazi (Surekha Sekri)and the latter's orphaned grandson Riyaz (Amit
Phalke). She was evicted from her marital home in Lahore after her husband's
death. Arriving on a temporary visitor's visa, she tries legally as well as
through bribery to convert the visa into one enabling permanent residence,
asserting her right to stay on as an Indian national.

The story is told through the eyes of Riyaz, who initially resents her
arrival in their cramped Bombay flat. Mammo is deported, but returns in the
end, hopefully for good.

Directed by: Shyam Benegal.

For this film, I dont care!! U have to watch it!! I watched it on TV in sub optimal presentation, that was hugely compromised!! This dvd looks way better!!

Mamu, sardari begum, Garam Hava are THE MUST WATCH!

nah, zubeidaa is very different that Mammo. Zubeidaa is sad drama, where mammo is funny, will keep you on seat.

No, Chrish said it right!! The guy is same, writer representing KHALID MOHD, I think this was written by Khalid too?

It is very simple, low buget, and lack commercial look/feel that went to some extent for zubaida!!

Quite a memorable and heart wrenching movie! Can't wait to watch Zubeidaa next. Isn't it a spin-off of Mammo?
