Long after leaving the theater, I kept thinking about the characters in War 2. Not just the main leads, but even the supporting ones. They all feel like real people with histories and motives, not just placeholders for the story to move forward. The script does a great job of giving everyone at least one moment to shine, which makes you more invested in the outcome. And because you care about them, the action scenes hit harder - when someone's in danger, you genuinely feel the tension. It's that kind of connection that makes the film so memorable.

Poignant. Heartfelt. A good watch Dear Maa doesn't shy away from messy emotions. As Sohini's absence stretches into unknown territory, the adoptive mother navigates bureaucracy, blame, and emotional collapse. Jaya Ahsan anchors the film-her portrayal never sanctifies Brinda, it honors her humanity. The screenplay feels rooted in depth, showing adoption from multiple angles-between mothers, institutions, and personal trauma-rather than a single narrative track . The cast beyond Jaya-Saswata, Dhritiman Chatterjee, Shayan Munshi-fills the canvas with realism. Overall, the film shows that love doesn't guarantee belonging, but it does demand courage-and that tension makes Dear Maa memorable.
