Maa Twitter Review: Netizens call Kajol’s horror debut ‘Flawed yet…’ – Check reactions

Maa Twitter Review: Directed by Vishal Furia, Maa marks Kajol’s powerful return to the big screen, her first full‑blown horror in her career, and she delivers. It’s intense, gripping, and unlike any typical Bollywood fare.

The film, which hit cinemas today, June 27th, revolves around a mythological horror rooted in maternal courage and this mother’s battle with a powerful curse will keep you hooked till the end.

Backed by Ajay Devgn’s production house, Maa is expected to make a strong impact at the box office. Early estimates suggest that the film could collect anywhere between Rs 4.5 crore to Rs 6.5 crore on its opening day. The makers are hopeful that Kajol’s Ma will surpass the Day 1 earnings of Shahid Kapoor’s Deva, which had opened with Rs 5.78 crore.

After watching the film, one of the users wrote, “Strong performance! It delivers on atmosphere and emotion, but loses pace in the first hour and feels longer than needed. While the visual effects work in parts, some scenes lack polish. The connection to the Shaitaanverse feels underdeveloped.”

“#MAA is a mythological horror film which was mostly undetailed and illogical… Plot was decent(fairytale fantasy), but execution falters … Bgm was good… The movie has lots of VFX shots, which were actually good and clear… The cast did well…But overall, it is neither as good as #Shaitaan nor like #Streeverse films… In the two twists, one was expected, and one was not… Backstory misses the detailing as Furia did in his previous outing #Chhorri2 too … Attacking/face off scenes could have been composed better … Overall an average fare for me … Wait for OTT.”

Another user wrote, “#MaaReview: Kajol shines in this gripping mythological horror! Vishal Furia crafts a chilling tale of a mother’s fierce love vs dark forces. Strong VFX, tight 2h13m runtime. A must-watch for horror fans!”

Another user wrote, “#Maa is simply terrific stuff. A paranormal subject layered with emotions. The film is a must-watch for the brilliance of #Kajol and the VFX and BGM. #ronitboseroy #IndraneilSengupta are equally competent. Brilliant.”

One more wrote, "#Maa Very Well Made 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
A mother's instinct versus the dark forces – #Maa blends emotions, horror, and mythology seamlessly... #Kajol delivers a knockout act... Watch it!

 

Smart Box Office move

To boost the film’s box office performance, Ajay Devgn has rolled out a clever promotional strategy — a "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" ticket offer. Recently, the actor took to social media and posted: “The fear of Chandrapur is best enjoyed together. Buy 2 tickets, get 1 free. Offer valid only till this Friday.”

With this limited-time offer, the makers are expecting a spike in audience turnout for Ma. The film is facing stiff competition at the box office from Sitaare Zameen Par, Housefull 5, and Akshay Kumar’s Kannappa, but this move might just give Ma the edge it needs.
