Kajol Sets The Screen Ablaze In MAA A Mythological Horror Masterpiece

When cinema becomes faith, and storytelling mirrors real emotion — a film like MAA is born

Arriving in theatres on 27th June 2025, MAA is not just another horror film. It is an emotionally charged mythological epic that combines the unbreakable bond of motherhood with the raw, spiritual terror of ancient evil. Presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, and produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande (with Kumar Mangat Pathak as co-producer), this film is already being hailed as a genre-defining experience.

And at the center of it all stands Kajol, in what is being called the most powerful performance of her legendary career.

The Rise of Devika – A Mother, A Goddess, A Storm

Directed by acclaimed horror visionary Vishal Furia, known for Chhorii, MAA takes us deep into the evolving World of Shaitaan — a cinematic universe that redefines Indian horror. But this time, the fear is older, darker, and sacred.

Kajol plays Devika, a grieving mother whose sorrow awakens something divine and dangerous within her. As she confronts black magic, betrayal, and forgotten rituals, her pain transforms into the power of Maa Kali — the goddess of justice, rage, and protection.

“MAA is not just about fear – it’s about the strength that comes from facing it. Playing Devika shook me to my soul.”
— Kajol, Lead Actor

In a role that blends fire with fragility, Kajol does not just act — she becomes a symbol. Of every mother’s pain. Of every woman’s fury. And of every soul’s search for justice.

The Sound of Spirit and Storm

The soundtrack of MAA is already creating waves — not just in music charts, but in hearts:

• "Kali Shakti" – Sung by the legendary Usha Uthup, this thunderous hymn is more than a song. It's an anthem of feminine energy, with visuals and vocals that leave goosebumps.
• "Humnava Mere" – A soft, soul-touching duet by Shreya Ghoshal and Jubin Nautiyal, it captures the tender bond between Devika and her daughter. It is the calm in a storm, a reminder of love that never dies.

A Film Rooted in Ritual, Powered by Purpose

Filmed across real temples, remote terrains, and sacred lands, every scene in MAA has been crafted with reverence. The VFX doesn’t scream for attention — it humbles you. The flames, chants, symbols, and set designs are not just visual — they are spiritual.
This is cinema that respects its roots. Every frame is a prayer. Every scream has meaning.

Meet the Minds Behind the Magic

• Vishal Furia – The director who brought fear back with Chhorii now blends horror with heritage.
• Ajay Devgn & Jyoti Deshpande – Their commitment to bold storytelling continues, with a film that pushes boundaries and elevates belief.
• Kumar Mangat Pathak – With decades of experience, he adds his strength to this emotionally intense project.
• Kajol – A performer beyond praise, her journey from Dilwale to Devika proves that legends evolve.

Why DXB Stands with MAA

Kajol’s performance is unforgettable, and the entire team deserves applause for such artistic courage. DXB News Network proudly supports this film not just as media, but as believers in its vision.”

This Is More Than a Movie — It’s a Movement

In a time when fear is often loud but empty, MAA offers meaning. In a world that forgets its roots, this film digs deep. And in a cinematic age of spectacle, MAA dares to be spiritual.

It asks us to look at motherhood not as weakness but as the fiercest force on Earth.
It reminds us that evil can wait — in rituals, in shadows, in silence — but so can justice. And when a mother prays with pain, the universe listens.

Don’t Just Watch It. Feel It. Remember It.

On 27th June 2025, step into theatres not just to be scared — but to be stirred. Let MAA awaken something in you.
Let faith fight fear.
Let the goddess rise.
