Maa

Please do not waste your 2 hours and 13 minutes. It's not worth it. Stupid story line. Extremely predictable. Like within the first 30 minutes I knew what was going to happen at the end and guess what. Whatever I thought would happen actually did. It was extremely stupid and needed a better story line and better director that knows what they're doing. Kajol acting was great as usual. Casting was good too. Special affects were also ok, not bad. Could be better since vfx is so advanced these days but I understand why did not wanted to spend to much on it since they didn't know if it would do well or not. FYI, I'm typing this while the ending of the movie is still playing, yes it's that bad.

I watched this movie yesterday and i cant imagine how bad a movie can be. In 2025 people are making such pathetic movies with a typical story and vfx like 1979 Jaani Dushman.

This movie has a very typical storyline and funny vfx like we used to have back in 80-90's (i guess even some 90s movie are better then this vfx) My mind was blown by seeing the utterly dreadful car seen in which Kajol was driving with her daughter.

Spare me the horror. I pity on people who give the rating 8.4 to this movie.

DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT WATCHING THIS MOVIE. Its a joke in the name of horror unfortunately !!

Thank me later.

Maa, the second film in the Shaitaan universe, promises an ambitious blend of mythology and horror, but ultimately delivers a middling experience. Set in the rural backdrop of Chandrapur, near Kolkata, the film follows a determined mother caught in a terrifying supernatural struggle to save her daughter. In comparison to Shaitaan, Maa feels underwhelming and less cohesive. It neither offers the psychological tension of a horror classic nor the visual spectacle of a mythological epic.

Despite its intriguing premise, Maa falls short of making a lasting impression, both emotionally and cinematically. The concept of weaving mythological elements into a horror framework is undoubtedly rich with potential. Unfortunately, the writing doesn't fully rise to the occasion. The first half is relatively taut and builds up some anticipation, giving the illusion that the film is heading toward a chilling climax. However, the second half rapidly loses steam becoming sluggish, overlong, and predictable.

Maa delivers visuals that are sadly unimpressive. The VFX, instead of elevating the horror, often diminish it with lackluster execution. This becomes even more apparent when compared to the bar set by the Maddock Cinematic Universe. Except for a few standout scenes - notably the car escape sequence featuring Ambika and Shweta being chased by monster girls, there is little tension or immersion.

Kajol carries the weight of the film on her shoulders with an earnest performance. She plays the concerned and fierce mother convincingly, but the script does her no favors. Young talents Kherin Sharma and Rupkatha Chakraborty provide fine support, while Ronit Roy emerges as the film's surprise package. Dibyendu Bhattacharya is reliable as always, but the rest of the cast, unfortunately, leaves a forgettable impression, largely due to flat characterizations.

Direction 1.5/5 Acting 2.5/5 Dialogues 2/5 Story 2/5 Screenplay 2/5.

Highly Disgusting Movie with Monotonous Acting, Also Stupid Story. I saw the movie in 2x speed, because it lacks interest & Acting. I expect more from Kajol, as I used to like her Acting but after this I am in Dilemma. First Half of the movie is very Boring, like everything going Flat. I have a headache watching the Acting of the Girl, She is doing like someone is forcing her to act. I know I Sounds like Bit Harsh but it is what it is, Everything is looking Fake from Cast to Acting alongwith Story. After the 1st half of the movie, I was feeling like I got my 1hr wasted but in reality I wasted 2 hrs.

Honestly Kajol should retire, she is destroying her legacy. Surely she would've read the script and must've thought what is this no scares all about promoting a cult and not concentrating on the film itself. The movie is all about a religious promotion and the story has so many holes in it. The ghost is a tree yes a tree the director must be drunk when he came up with this concept. The movie is an absolute disgrace and seriously one of the worst films I have ever seen if it had minus then I would give it a minus 10. People actually walked out i Should've done so the film is all to do with promoting kajols beliefs which am sorry lost the film.
