Maa 2025
"Maa," released theatrically on June 27, 2025, is a Hindi mythological horror-thriller film directed by Vishal Furia, produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande under Ajay Devgn FFilms and Jio Studios. The film stars Kajol as Ambika, a fierce mother battling demonic forces to protect her 12-year-old daughter, Shweta (Jherin Sharma). The story begins with Ambika's husband, Shubhankar (Indraneil Sengupta), having a mysterious accident at his ancestral mansion in Chandarpur village, a place they had deliberately avoided due to its dark history. Ambika and Shweta reluctantly travel to Chandarpur, where they uncover a dangerous legend rooted in a four-decade-old practice of sacrificing girl infants to vanquish a demigod named Raktabeej. Ambika finds herself fighting a demonic entity with ghastly designs on Shweta and other girls in the village. The film blends folklore with emotions, celebrating femininity and motherhood, with Kajol delivering an intense performance as she channels her inner goddess, akin to Kali, to combat the evil. While "Maa" is visually ambitious and incorporates strong mythological elements, critics have given it mixed reviews, often pointing to a predictable plot and an uneven screenplay. Despite its atmospheric setting and impressive visual effects in some parts, the film is said to suffer from inconsistent writing, tacky VFX in certain scenes, and a lack of genuine scares. However, Kajol's portrayal of Ambika and Ronit Roy's supporting role as Joydev have been praised. The film is also noted as being part of the "Shaitaan" universe, adding to its intrigue for fans of that film. "Maa" has a runtime of 2 hours and 15 minutes and was released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali.
