Set to release on June 27, 2025, in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali, the film marks Kajol’s bold venture into the horror genre, a significant departure from her iconic romantic and dramatic roles. With a stellar supporting cast including Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, Jitin Gulati, and Kherin Sharma, MAA is poised to deliver a gripping cinematic experience that blends emotion, fear, and supernatural thrills.  The 2-minute-24-second trailer opens with Kajol driving her daughter through a dark, forested road, setting an eerie tone as the daughter complains of period pain. The atmosphere quickly escalates when a mysterious figure slams into their car window, thrusting them into a haunting new setting. Kajol’s character, a protective mother, warns her daughter not to venture out without permission, but the discovery of a cursed tree—believed to be a haven for evil spirits—ignites the central conflict. Ronit Roy’s character reveals that several girls have vanished from the area in recent months, hinting at a demonic curse. Kajol, embodying both “Rakshak” (protector) and “Bhakshak” (destroyer), declares she will not let her daughter become a sacrifice, setting the stage for a fierce battle against malevolent forces. The trailer’s tagline, “When a mother breaks, a Goddess is born,” encapsulates Kajol’s transformation into a Kali-like figure, ready to confront evil to save her child.  Fans have lauded the trailer for its spine-chilling visuals and Kajol’s intense performance. Social media reactions highlight the unique tribute to mothers, with cast and crew credits incorporating their mothers’ names (e.g., Kajol Tanuja Devgn, Ajay Veena Devgn), a detail that has resonated deeply with audiences. Comments on platforms like Reddit praise the trailer’s fresh take on horror, though some critique its heavy CGI and similarities to Western horror tropes, such as Stranger Things’ Vecna or The Last of Us’ clicker sounds. Despite these critiques, the consensus is that MAA offers a compelling blend of mythological horror and emotional depth, with Kajol’s commanding presence at its core.  Directed by Vishal Furia, whose expertise in crafting atmospheric horror shines through, MAA is penned by Saiwyn Quadras, known for Neerja and Mary Kom. The film builds on the success of Jio Studios and Devgn Films’ 2024 hit Shaitaan, positioning MAA as a new chapter in their horror universe. The ensemble cast, including Indraneil Sengupta as Shuvankar, Jitin Gulati as Sarfaraz, and Kherin Sharma as Shweta, adds depth to the narrative, while the production team—featuring cinematographer Pushkar Malti Singh, editor Sandeep Amita Francis, and VFX head Naveen Saloni Paul—ensures a visually stunning experience. The haunting background score by Amar Purnima Mohile and music by T-Series further amplify the trailer’s intensity.  Kajol’s promotional efforts, including her visit to Kolkata’s Dakshineswar Kali temple on May 22, 2025, have heightened anticipation. Her fierce avatar in the poster, facing a demonic creature with glowing red eyes, has sparked comparisons to her iconic role in Dushman (1998). As MAA gears up for its multi-lingual release, it promises to redefine Kajol’s cinematic legacy, blending raw emotion with supernatural terror in a tale of a mother’s unbreakable bond.
