Maa Movie Review: Kajol Shines in a Mythological Horror That Balances Emotion and Dread

Blog post description.Kajol’s latest film Maa, directed by Vishal Furia, delivers a chilling blend of mythology and maternal instinct. Set in the cursed village of Chandarpur, the story follows Ambika (Kajol), a mother who returns to her late husband’s ancestral haveli, only to face a demonic curse demanding her daughter’s life. Drawing from the legend of Raktabeej, the film explores themes of sacrifice, female infanticide, and spiritual warfare. Kajol’s performance is both fierce and vulnerable, anchoring the film’s emotional core. The atmospheric visuals—dark forests, Kali Puja rituals, and haunted ruins—enhance the eerie tone, though some VFX moments feel overdone. Maa doesn’t break new ground in horror, but its mythological depth and strong performances make it a compelling one-time watch. For fans of culturally rooted supernatural thrillers, this film offers a haunting yet heartfelt experience. Incut News
