What is Maa about?
When a series of terrifying events begins tearing her family apart, a devoted mother discovers that a malevolent demonic force has placed an ancient curse on those she loves most. As fear grips her household and the danger escalates beyond ordinary means, she turns to the fierce divine energy of Kali — the destroyer of evil — channeling that primal power to confront what no human strength alone could overcome. The film builds its horror through mythological dread and maternal ferocity, placing the mother at the center of a battle that spans both the physical and the spiritual worlds.
Cast & crew
Kajol, one of Bollywood's most celebrated actresses known for decades of dramatic range, leads the film in a physically and emotionally demanding performance. Ronit Roy and Indraneil Sengupta appear in key supporting roles, alongside Jitin Gulati, Kherin Sharma, Gopal Singh, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, and Aashit Chatterjee. Director Vishal Furia brings a background in Indian genre cinema to the project.
