Maja Ma Movie Review:

Before this, many films have been made on the issue of homosexuality and have also disappointed. Another episode of the same disappointment is the film Maja Ma. A good film was expected from director Anand Tiwari after the web series Bandish Bandits, but he disappoints by showing this serious issue only superficially.

Writer Sumit Batheja also did not try to create a new story keeping this taboo issue in the center. The story of the film swings between the issue of feminism and homosexuality. The film is set in today’s era, so the statement of an Indian-origin couple living in America that women are impure during periods, so they will not drink tea from their hands, disappoints. Upon learning that the mother is a homosexual, it seems childish for a son who has returned from America to take his mother to Baba’s broomstick.

It is ridiculous for Rajit, Sheeba, and Barkha to speak English in the American style. The reasons why Tara is so concerned about the lesbian community are unclear. Simone Singh suddenly enters the story as Pallavi’s girlfriend Kanchan, but she focuses more on Pallavi’s husband Manohar than on Pallavi. He does not show any emotion throughout the film, so suddenly it seems strange that he abuses Pam in one scene. The love affair between Pallavi and Kanchan ends in a Garba scene, which was the premise of the film. The film is very slow, its duration makes it more boring. Being lesbian is not a crime… This dialogue doesn’t make an impact, as we’ve heard in many movies before.

Acting:

Despite the weak script, Madhuri Dixit has handled many scenes with her acting. She feels suffocated to a great extent to hide her homosexuality from the fear of society. Gajraj Rao and Rajit Kapoor just seem to go according to the script. Rithvik, Srishti, and Barkha have done a good job in the supporting cast. Sheeba Chaddha impresses in some scenes. The song Rangeela Mara Naach, which was released before Navratri, is remembered only at the end of the film.

Maja Ma Movie Rating:

2 / 5 (⭐⭐)
