Movie Story – When ‘Maa’ becomes scary

Maa (2025) is a unique film that combines mother’s love and the terrible secrets hidden in the past to give a deep and scary experience. The film is the story of a village where the curse associated with an old temple starts destroying a family.

Kajol is this time playing the role of a mother who crosses all limits to save her children – even if she has to fight supernatural powers for this.

Talking about the acting…

Kajol has once again proved that she can do wonders not only in emotional roles but also in horror-dramas.

Ronit Roy’s character is well-balanced and brings depth to the film.

Indraneil Sengupta has also left a good impression in a serious role.

Direction, Cinematography and Music

Director Ajay Patel has beautifully combined mythological and horror.

The village backdrop, the temple atmosphere, the filming in the dark – everything creates fear and suspense.

The background music sends a shiver down your spine, especially in the temple and rain scenes.

Should you watch Maa?

If you want to watch something new, different and scary – which has mythology, emotion and shows the strength of a mother – then you must watch the film Maa.
