"Maa" (2025) is a visually intense, mythologically inspired horror‑thriller anchored by a committed lead performance from Kajol. While it builds powerful atmosphere through production, spirituality, and folklore, it suffers from predictable storytelling, sluggish pacing, and restrained emotional stakes. It’s a decent one-time watch for fans of supernatural drama and mythic narratives—but may feel overly familiar and slow for others.
