Bollywood's veteran actress Kajol has delivered one hit film after another in her career, and now she is in the headlines for her comeback. Her highly anticipated film 'Maa' was released in theaters on Friday, and there is a lot of excitement among the audience regarding it.
Maa Collection Day 1: Bollywood's veteran actress Kajol has once again returned to theaters to win the hearts of the audience with her powerful acting. Her new film Maa was released on Friday, and it performed well on the first day as expected. There was a lot of buzz around the film beforehand, especially because it was made under Ajay Devgn's production house and no effort was spared in promoting the film.
The story of Maa revolves around the relationship between a mother and daughter and the horrific circumstances associated with it. The film shows how a mother confronts evil forces to save her daughter. Interestingly, in recent months, Ajay Devgn's film Shaitaan also showed a similar story of a father-daughter relationship, where the father saves his daughter from demonic forces. However, the makers of Maa had already made it clear that there is a significant difference in the story of these two films, and it has been presented from a different perspective.
How was the response on the opening day?
Kajol's fan following is not hidden from anyone. The audience was eager for the film since the release of the trailer. As soon as it was released in theaters, the audience gave a good response to Maa. A decent crowd was seen in the theaters in the initial shows, while the number of viewers increased in the evening and night shows.
According to a report by the box office tracking website Sacnilk, Maa has collected around 3.7 crore rupees on the first day. This figure can be considered satisfactory, considering the film's theme and its genre. Especially when it is getting tough competition from a family drama film like 'Sitare Zameen Par', which is dominating the theaters at the moment.
Why didn't the earnings reach 6 crores?
Trade analysts believed that Maa could touch the figure of around 5-6 crores on the first day, but it could not happen. The biggest reason for this is said to be 'Sitare Zameen Par', which has drawn children and families towards the theaters. Despite this, Kajol's film has succeeded in making its own identity, and there is every possibility of a surge in its collection in the coming weekend.
The story of Maa depicts an emotional and scary journey in which a mother is ready to go to any extent for her daughter. Kajol's fans have praised her performance immensely. Many users on social media have also written that Kajol has once again proved that she is not only the queen of romantic or family drama films but can also play difficult genres like horror-thriller well.
Apart from this, the cinematography, background score, and special effects of the film are also being praised. However, some viewers have advised that the screenplay should be made a little ber so that the story can become more sharp. The first day of the film has been good, and trade pundits are confident that the collection of Maa will increase rapidly in the weekend. The support of the family audience on Saturday and Sunday can give it a boost, due to which the film can soon cross the figure of 10 crores.
