An original and honest attempt
This show features a out of the ordinary story of a mother Suhasini Joshi (Neelima Azim), who is trying to realize her long lost dreams of working professionally and her son Aditya Joshi (Ayush Mehra) in process to amend his relationship with his mother. Aditya, who is intially skeptical of his mother's abilities, finally comes around and supports her in an entrepreneurial journey.

A lot of things are just happening in the show and its really hard to distinguish their cause or a why. Story development lacks a meaningful narrative and goes on trying to deliver a lot of half-bakedideas.

Actors did as well as they could with clearly choppy writing. There are so many emotions and absolutely no gradient when switching between them, one moment is joyous and the next feels like the end of the world. The dialogues are washed out and have nothing impressive. While some may find dramatic gasps worthy of entertainment, I found them repulsive.

If Suhasini's emotions were harnessed better, the story would feel a lot more convincing and if Aditya's character was developed enough to justify his narcissism, there would be no superficial problems, to begin with.

It's at most a one time watch especially for someone with a taste for soap operas.

Dustbin reviewed Mom & Co.
'Mom & Co', a web series that stars Neliima Azeem, Aditya Joshi, Shreya Mukherji, and others.
Neliima Azeem plays a single mother who has brought up her son, Aditya Joshi, played by Ayush Mehra single-handedly. Ayush is one of the many people who are not very fond of their parents and take them for granted. Everybody who has ever tasted his Aai’s (mother) food has always praised it, giving hearty compliments, which go beyond just formality. Fresh out of job and working at a boring office, Aditya decides to open a business that will make it possible for his Aai’s food to reach much more hungry stomachs and satisfy souls.
The web series has an interesting premise, that of a mother and a woman who’s looking at spending years of old age withering away and therefore decides to take up a business opportunity. The best part about the series is its concept. It is the beautiful story of the single mother, Suhasini Joshi, who has raised her son all by herself, and has reached a phase in her life wherein she is restricted to talking to her diary and penning down her thoughts on paper rather than having a direct conversation about them with her son/well-wisher. Mom & Co. is a story that is relatable on a spiritual level, a story of a mother and her son, a son who takes his mother for granted. A son who is ungrateful, rude and selfish. Our mother is someone who does so much for us, for her children, and we rarely take a moment to appreciate it, because it’s her duty. Mom & Co. works like a mirror that will make you contemplate your actions and be considerate, for at least a moment. Neliima Azeem does a good job of playing the understated and ignored family member while Aditya Joshi does a good job of playing the corporate culture young man. It’s refreshing to see Ayush in a role that puts forth his amazing talent to full potential. Ayush’s Aditya is an insolent yet a considerate son, who is just too much in his own head, and Ayush portrays the role with astonishing ease.
Mom & Co. is a sweet and brilliant series that explains a mother-son relationship, with utmost clarity. A must, must watch.

Aai tu best aahe!
There are times when we fail to understand why our mums get so finicky about food, health and above all our well-being. We often take it for granted and we mostly forget to acknowledge their presence and importance in our life. And we usually ignore it in the name of "generation-gap", sometimes screaming at them for not understanding us, but, who are we to blame them, when in the first place we are not okay with being so open with our feelings because the fear of being judged still resides within us. Honestly, it's it's not always their fault but at the same time it's not always our fault as well. The construction of society is such that miscommunication takes the central couch in desi families. And this show, does exactly that. It depicts the parent-child relationship by being in the prime focus. It brings forth the harsh dualities and realities of "generation-gap", extreme narcissim , lack of dearth , respect and sometimes love. I have often heard this saying that " Love changes in a relationship, but what remains constant is respect." The story revolves around Suhasini and her son Aditya. Aditya is completely absorbed in his own world and seldom spends time at home. He is physically present but is always mentally absent. Suhasini being a single mother, does her fair share in keeping her son happy but her oblivious to her sacrifices continues to trouble and disregard her until reality hits him hard. Her dreams of running a kitchen and cooking food for other people makes her happy, she wishes to change her passion into profession since Aditya is rarely there. What follows is a story filled with dreams, food , family, respect and above all fulfilment. It's absolutely emotional and will leave you with tears. Created by Zoomstudios original, it's easily available on youtube. Viewers who love family dramas will not be disappointed.

Better than I expected
Most web series that have the word mom in it tend to make it very emotional and dramatic and I, honestly, was not prepared for what this web series would serve. But, this was quite unexpected. From relating to quite a few moments between the mother-son relationship’s moments to sharing the love for food, this series did take me by surprise and how! It shows how a (prodigal?) son finds his way back to his mother in times when they both needed each other.
This has been a pretty refreshing change and if you are away from home, then I am sure this is going to make you pick up your phone and call your mom. We have all given too many excuses, we have all been too busy, but this is going to show you what goes on on the other side of the story and how your mother feels about it.

Dobi reviewed Mom & Co.
Starring Neelima Azeem as 'Aai' and Ayush Mehra as the son, the story of these characters explores the subtleties of mom-son relationships in general. Given that the son is sacked from his job and faces difficulties with the new one, he decides to call it quits after all. Starting on a new venture with his mum, they together, as partners, open up 'Aai's Kitchen'. The performances are good. Overall, a nice, sweet storyline with good acting.

Mom & Co. an emotional journey based on the relationship of a mother and a son. It is The Zoom Studios original web series released in 2019. It takes the viewers on an ups & downs ride, in the life of Suhasini Joshi and her son Aditya Joshi. For Suhasini Aditya was her whole world but Aditya is just taking her mom for granted. The story of the series was great and very emotional and it also tells that age is not a barrier for starting something. The actors did great work. It is a must watch for everyone out there and should really understand the sacrifices a mother makes. It can be watched on YouTube. I can really assure you that after watching this you will really have more respect for your mother.

Likeable
Mom & Co. is an Indian drama web series by The Zoom Studios. It follows the story of a young man living with his mother and his relationship with her. The show highlights the fact that most of us distance our parents and family once we become adults. The show has it's moments and is really enjoyable at parts. But, the demerit is it's inconsistency. It has continuous highs and lows which bother you. Even though it has only 10 episodes, it feels stretched. The mom-son relationship is the only saving factor. The actors do their job well but are let down by weak writing.

A beautiful heart-rendering story of a mother and her son. Mother Suhasini wants to start a food delivery business besides her son Aditya, who after getting sacked from the company like his other friends, finds it difficult to adjust in any other company where he gets selected for the HR post. They gradually set up their own business, Aai's Kitchen, which eventually becomes very famous and flourishes over a short time period. The business gets to see the peak of it's success, with the immense of Shreya, a food blogger, who initially gave a negative review about their food. Aditya's Aai, Suhasini, is a simple woman with dreams and aspirations like we have. She always wanted to do something of her own, something that she feels like doing. The magic in her hands, in her spices, leaves everyone spellbound after they taste the dishes prepared by her- be its Aditya's colleagues or the officer who was in charge of the fire safety provision in business, or be it the head of the company, or Aditya's friend turned enemy, who was in the HR of the company, from where they were sacked.
This is a truely inspiring story which is recommended for one and all. It portrays the beautiful bond between a mother and a son, which is in one word, soothing. It portrays the bond that Shreya ans Aditya share with each other, more than being business partners. The bond between a mother and her son is something that cannot be explained in words, but "a mother's heart is always with her children"; somewhere while growing up, we tend to forget the reason of our happiness, the struggles made by our mother to make us successful, one day. The immense hardwork that she does to make our every day beautiful, to see a smile on our face- there can be ups and downs in business, in life, but we must know to celebrate and appreciate the contribution of our mothers, in our lives.
It shows and teaches us that we must not take mothers, for granted. Their innocence, love is pure; they have full faith in us unlike anybody.
Neliima Azeem as Aai and Ayush Mehra as Adity have portrayed the roles very beautifully, and they have done a great job. Shreya Gupto as Shreya, yhe food blogger, had also played a pivotal role in this. As it has been portrayed in the story, Suhasini's food tasted absolutely like "ghar ka khana" because it made made by a mother "with more love and less masalas."

Loved it!
Though I'm in my 20s right now I can totally relate to the series. The storyline plays very well around the story of a guy in his mid 20s-30s and having a sort of quarter life crisis of what to do with life.
He's fed up by the monotonous lifestyle, and is clearly missing out on So much.
And it shows the relationship of a mother and son, the classic way - how a mother ALWAYS knows what's wrong and there's something that needs mending whether it may be her son's life or his diet**
She's seeing that her son's obviously stressed and pretty clueless and well.. very stressed. After talking things out and coming to a common ground both the mother-son duo set foot to their journey together to open doors to new opportunities.

A mother is the most beautiful gift of all and this is depicted beautifully in this series. The way his mother supports him through thick and thin without asking for anything in return is so pure. Their journey which includes many challenges,injuries and judgement evolves wonderfully. You get so immersed in this that you start missing your own mother even if she's right next to you? A totally must watch with parents ,siblings and basically family.

Good
A story that smells like the food your mum cooks, revolves around Aditya , a young man who got laid off from his job and his dear mother, Suhasini. Depiction of a love that is unsaid, unreflected but is present in the very essence of it , love between a son and his mother. Suffering the injuries of judgemets and forgrantedness this love remains unaffected even when it gives pain. It not only beautifully delineates a woman as a lover, a mother, a career oriented and a homemaker but as an unconditional sacrificer. It's must watch for both children and their parents as it witnesses coming of old age recipes with new age flavors.
