About Maa
In the mythological horror thriller Maa, Kajol stars as a fierce mother named Ambika, who will go to any lengths to protect her daughter from mysterious forces. Maa also stars Indraneil Sengupta, Jitin Gulati, and Kherin Sharma. It is directed by Vishal Furia and produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Subbarayan.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the horror film read, “There’s social commentary buried somewhere in the ritualistic blood, VFX smoke and characters speaking Bengali deliberately in such a heavy accent as though their life depended upon it- coupled with a feminist undertone. It barely lands. The intent is in place though: the idea of a desperate mother becoming Maa in the climax is executed well, and is frankly the only part where you are hooked. Now if only the entire film had such elevation points.”
