‘Maa’

Maa follows the story of Ambika, played by Kajol, who, by the unexpected passing of her husband in Chandarpur, West Bengal, goes back to his family home intending to sell it. The village she visits is under the grip of a malevolent curse that requires the sacrifice of her daughter, Shweta (portrayed by Kherin Sharma). Ambika then does everything in her power to save her child and the village from the curse.
‘Maa’ movie review

With a rating of 3 stars, the TOI review of the movie states - “Kajol delivers a compelling performance as a mother pushed to the edge, balancing vulnerability with fierce resolve. Kherin Sharma and Rupkatha Chakraborty are both impressive as young girls caught in the storm of ancient evil. Ronit Bose Roy lends solid support as the village sarpanch.”
