Kajol, Indraneil Sengupta, Ronit Roy: Meet the casts of the mythological horror movie 'Maa'

What was the last Bollywood horror movie that truly shook you? Well Kajol returns to the big screen with a fierce, emotional performance in Maa which is a mythologically charged horror-drama that sees a mother take on demonic forces to save her daughter, an ambitious attempt at keeping the audience glued and biting their nails. It’s visually ambitious, soaked in atmosphere, and gives Indian horror a rare, high-gloss treatment. The film leans heavily into folklore and faith, building a world where love and darkness collide. But beneath the striking frames and heavy symbolism lies a story that feels far too familiar. Maa tries to shake you, and sometimes it does but its predictable arc and emotional flatness keep it from truly delivering on its promise.

In the Movie Maa , Kajol playing the role named Ambika, is the central and lead character of the movie, who is a strong, emotionally resilient mother, fighting against a corrupted system to protect and safeguard her child, and known for her storing screen presence and emotional depth, Kajol brings intense acting skills like vulnerability and vehemence to the role.
