The highly anticipated mythological horror film 'Maa', starring Kajol, was released in theaters on June 27th. The film has received positive reviews from audiences and critics alike. After a b start, it also recorded impressive earnings over its opening weekend.
Maa Box Office Collection Day 5: Kajol's supernatural horror-drama 'Maa' showed strength at the box office on its 5th day of release, crossing the ₹23 crore mark. Released on June 27th, the film is receiving a positive response not only from critics but also from audiences. After a slight dip on Monday, the film regained momentum on Tuesday and strengthened its hold by increasing collections.
'Maa' Performs Powerfully on Day 5
Directed by Vishal Furia, the film earned ₹2.85 crore on its 5th day, i.e., the first Tuesday. The film's earnings on Monday were ₹2.5 crore, but it improved its pace on Tuesday, overcoming the decline. Thus, the film's total earnings have now reached ₹23 crore. The first 5 days' box office collection of the film is as follows:
- Day 1 (Friday) – ₹4.65 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday) – ₹6 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday) – ₹7 crore
- Day 4 (Monday) – ₹2.5 crore

'Maa' Included in Kajol's Top 10 Films List
'Maa' has secured its place in Kajol's top 10 highest-grossing films list in just five days. The film is now close to her 1997 hit film 'Ishq', which had a lifetime collection of ₹24.8 crore. If the film's performance continues like this, it will soon surpass 'Ishq'.
Furthermore, the next targets on Kajol's list of top-grossing films are 'Karan Arjun' (₹25.75 crore) and then 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' (₹46.88 crore). Although 'Maa' has a long way to go to reach these films, the way word of mouth is benefiting the film, crossing the ₹25 crore mark now seems to be a matter of time.
A Unique Blend of Horror and Mythology
'Maa' is a mythological horror film that combines the power and struggles of a mother with supernatural events. The story of the film has not only scared the audience but also connected with them emotionally. Kajol's powerful acting is particularly appreciated by the audience. Apart from Kajol, Indraneil Sengupta, Ronit Roy, and Kherin Sharma have also played significant roles in the film. The story has been written by Saivin Quadras, and Vishal Furia's direction has made it even more impactful.
'Maa' has breathed new life into Kajol's career after 'Salaam Venky' in 2022. After a long time, the audience saw Kajol in a different avatar and appreciated it a lot. This is the reason why the film is receiving good responses from big cities to small towns.
