YMMV / Mother India

Go To

  • Award Snub: Was India's first nominated film for the Academy Awards Best Foreign Film category, only to lose to Fellini's Nights of Cabiria (reportedly by a single vote). While Cabiria is a highly-respected film in its own right, it's had nowhere near the cultural impact of Mother India.
  • Tear Jerker: Where to start? Shamu abandoning the family, Radha losing two of her four children (including one who was still an infant) and ultimately shooting Birju in the name of justice.
