It flies in multiple directions and never finds a steady orbit. Only for Kajol fans

Kajol cannot rescue this fatigued fear fest of a mom on a rescue mission.

What keeps the momentum going is Kajol’s fully committed performance that elevates this generic material to a surprising degree of watchability, feels Mayur Sanap.

Kajol gives a superb performance as the harangued mother and determined woman who will fight for what is right. Without her, this movie would have been a shipwreck!

Watch it solely for her performance. She's given her hundred percent to the project and then some. But even her superlative acting can't cover up the cracks of a badly written screenplay.

Filmmaker Vishal Furia made Maa an engaging affair with its solid twists and turns, along with a story which will strike a chord with the Indian audience.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
