Rahul Desai The Hollywood Reporter Dial M for Monotonous. Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express ...the writing is bland, and there’s nothing new in the CGI (computer generated images) which is extensively used. The film itself falters in the way it keeps its first half loose, and the second half muddled. Rated: 2/5 Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Anupama Chopra The Hollywood Reporter A few fun jump scares but little that chills or thrills Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express In case you didn’t know killing babies is wrong, Kajol’s movie is here to educate you; phew. Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Dipankar Sarkar Upper Stall Building on familiar ideas of curses and family secrets, the film, unfortunately, leans too heavily on crowd-pleasing moments rather than focusing strongly enough on its narrative. Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Anuj Kumar The Hindu Maa unspools like a chapter that you have already crammed, an activity that you have already undertaken, a road that you have already traveled.

siddhant Dont like the story. Acting is good. Story makes it hard to feel bad for the characters. Not too emotional. Not too dramatic. I need a bit more to lock in. Kajol is worth it tho, pretty hot. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Ankit A Gripping right till the end. A must watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Carlos M Sinceramente me decepciono mucho no da miedo y los efectos especiales parecieran de muchos años atras no tengo tema tanto con eso sino con que la historia va muy lenta y siento que es mas religiosa la película que de terror y como es de una religión que sinceramente mas del 50% que la vera no le entenderá siento que esta película solamente esta destinada a cierto publico en especifico y eso lo veo malo. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review sakshi a so I just finished watching maa nd let me tell uhh it was rough i mean the acting felt wooden nd the whole story was just... meh i was expecting a horror movie but it was more like a snoozefest, the special effects? Don't even get me started they looked like they were straight out of a bad video game honestly i wouldn't recommend this one to my worst enemy save yourself the time and watch something else! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review Ralph R Maa (2025) has a story that really works on paper. The mythology, the emotional hook, and Kajol’s performance carry the film more than anything else. She brings weight and depth, and her transformation moments feel powerful. The concept itself is solid and ambitious, but it struggles to fully live up to its potential. You can sense what the film wanted to be, and that part is actually pretty impressive. The problem is everything around the story doesn’t quite hold up. The pacing drags at times, the script feels uneven, and the CGI doesn’t land the way it should. Instead of being scary or awe-inspiring, a lot of the visuals come off weaker than intended. The direction shows flashes of style, but the execution falls short. In the end, it’s a film with a strong heart and message, but one that feels let down by its technical side. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review Claudio C Maa (2025) An Interesting Indian Mythological Horror Movie (11,890 – 25 Aug 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In Chandrapur, a female baby is sacrificed by the locals. Forty years later, Shuvankar (Indraneil Sengupta), his wife Ambika (Kajol) and their twelve-year-old daughter Shweta (Kherin Sharma) have a life in harmony in Bengal. When Shuvankar’s father dies in Chandrapur, he drives to his hometown to the funeral and to deal with his house. While returning home, he dies in a mysterious circumstance and three months later, Ambika and Shweta head to Chandrapur to sell the real estate. They are welcomed by the local chief, Joydev (Ronit Roy), and Shweta befriends the girl Dipika (Roopkatha Chakraborty). When Dipika disappears, Ambika learns that there is a curse on the girls in Chandrapur when they have their first period and Shweta is in danger. “Maa” (2025) is an interesting Indian mythological horror movie, especially for Westerns, since is based in the powerful and fierce Hindu goddess Kali. This ambiguous goddess is associated to death and destruction, but also as a maternal protector of their worshippers. The casting is great, but Kherin Sharma is weak for the important role of Shweta. The special effects are creepy, but the screenplay could have been a little better. Anyway, the original story is not bad and enjoyable for fans of a different culture and credo. The dance in the Kali Puja ritual to praise and worship Kali recalls Bollywood movie. My vote is seven.
