Maa

I watched Maa yesterday, but honestly, I didn't really enjoy the film. The storyline was weak right from the beginning. They tried to hold suspense until the end, but it didn't work-because the audience could already predict what was going on.

Also, the main issue was the terrible VFX and absolutely zero acting. It looked rushed and unpolished. And let's talk about that random "Shaitan" song at the end - it didn't fit at all. It felt like two completely different movies stitched together for no reason.

On top of that, they portrayed "Kali Mata" in a way that doesn't align with how Hindu deities are respectfully shown. It felt forced and culturally off. The last scene was way too exaggerated.

This film was messy, over-the-top, and tried too hard to be something it's not. Watch it yourself and let me know what you think - but for me, it's a definite miss.

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.

Words can't fully capture what I witnessed. First off, Kajol was the perfect choice for this role-she brings a divine presence that no other actress could. Devgan Films is known for producing solid movies with folklore and mythology, so I was really excited to see this one.

However, as the movie progressed, it lost some of its initial impact. The introduction of modern elements like technology and AI felt out of place, pulling away from the traditional folklore vibe. Once a tone is set, it's important to stay true to it, and mixing in modern influences with ancient settings really disrupted the immersion.

Despite being marketed as a horror film, it didn't quite deliver on that front. Instead, it leaned more into a thriller-mystery territory, which is why I'm rating it a 6 instead of a 7. The plot had its inconsistencies-some character decisions didn't make sense, and certain characters were underutilized. The pacing was uneven, with some moments feeling dragged out and others rushed.

While I did enjoy parts of the film, I was left feeling a bit disappointed overall. It's not a bad movie and definitely worth watching, but don't go in with high expectations. Just take it for what it is, and you'll likely enjoy it more. I'm still looking forward to future Devgan films.

Maa had the potential to be a genre-bending experience, but it stumbles despite Kajol's stellar performance. She brings depth and emotional gravitas, making you feel every ounce of a mother's fear and desperation. Unfortunately, the film's uniqueness is undercut by its painfully predictable plot and reliance on tired horror tropes. The jump scares are formulaic, and the visual effects barely meet the mark. Worst of all, the villain looks like a budget Vecna knockoff from Stranger Things, more laughable than terrifying. Maa tries to be profound, but ends up being a stylishly packaged, hollow echo of better horror films.

This movie is dull and slow. The story is very basic and doesn't have anything new or exciting. It feels like it was just put together without much thought. The main cast seems to have been picked based on popularity, not actual acting talent.

Kajol, in particular, looks outdated and shows very little range in her acting. In the past, her weak performances were easy to overlook because stronger male actors carried the films. But in this movie, her limitations are very clear.

Surprisingly, the extras and background actors do a much better job. They feel more real and help move the story along more than the leads do. There are also some truly talented actors in the film, but their roles are so small that their skills go to waste.

The pace of the movie is another big issue-it drags on and on. It takes forever for anything meaningful to happen. Overall, this movie is a missed opportunity and a disappointment.
