About Maa

The film revolves around the story of how Aambika (Kajol) and her daughter visit her husband's hometown after his death due to a supernatural cause, only to discover a demonic curse that puts their lives at risk. The film received praise for Kajol's performance, but many felt it did not land the horror aspects well and played it safe. It collected ₹36.08 crore at the box office in India.

Speaking to Hindustan Times about doing the film, Kajol had said, “I wasn't that unsettled by it, probably because I did it. But everyone around me had the same reaction (makes disgusted face). They said, 'I can't see you like this'. But that's what horror is, and that's why it will be particularly effective.”
