Maa, starring Kajol in the lead role, is holding up well at the box office.

The movie further witnessed a good jump of 26% and collected Rs 6 crore on Day 2. As per estimates, the mytho-horror drama saw another jump of 10% today and added Rs 6.50 crore to the tally. The total three-day cume of Maa now stands at Rs 17.25 crore net at the Indian box office. Though this is an impressive figure for a Kajol starrer, the movie could have performed much better had it opened to superlative word-of-mouth. Moreover, one cannot ignore that the makers lured the audience with a BUY-TWO-GET-ONE-FREE offer on the tickets. The real test of Maa will begin from Monday onwards. If the movie manages to hold well and register a reasonable drop, it can see a long run at the box office.
