A Portrait of Love Beyond Blood captured really well.
Dear Maa tells the story of Brinda Mitra, portrayed by Jaya Ahsan, whose world is shattered when her adopted daughter Sohini goes missing, her search unfolding both like a procedural and a mother's desperate plea. The film delicately explores motherhood, adoption and self-sacrifice, showing how love can be more powerful than biology, the screenplay based on collaboration between Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury and Sakyajit Bhattacharya feels organic, the pacing steady not rushed, Monsoon Kolkata visuals paired with introspective performances from ensemble cast members like Saswata Chatterjee and Chandan Roy Sanyal reinforce the emotional weight, the slow revelations about identity and belonging make this drama quietly affecting and distinct in Bengali cinema.
