“She’s not just a mother. She’s a warrior. She’s Kali.”
Kajol plays a fiercely protective single mother who accidentally enters the cursed village of Chandanpur while traveling with her daughter. What begins as a routine forest road journey quickly spirals into horror as her daughter starts experiencing bizarre occurrences linked to a demonic curse and a haunted tree, where young girls have mysteriously vanished over the past few months.
As she uncovers the terrifying myth of the village—where sacrifices must be made to appease ancient spirits—Kajol’s character transforms from a nurturing mother into a wrathful protector, channeling the spirit of Kali, the goddess of destruction. Packed with eerie visuals, a haunting background score, and emotionally raw performances, Maa is not just a battle between good and evil—it’s a mother’s war against fate itself.
