Maa, directed by Vishal Furia and starring Kajol, Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta and others, after an ordinary Rs 26 crore net in week 1, saw a major drop in collections on 2nd Friday, impacted by new found competition in Metro...In Dino and Jurassic World: Rebirth. It only collected Rs 1 crore on day 8. The Kajol movie, fortunately grew by 60 percent on 2nd Saturday netting Rs 1.60 crore, and it shall add another Rs 1.75 crore net or so on Sunday, to go past the Rs 30 crore net India mark.
The Day Wise India Net Box Office Of Maa In India Is As Under
Maa Has Got Appreciation, But It Has Not Translated To Strong Box Office Numbers
Maa, despite the appreciation by its target audience, has not been able to make a mark at the box office, due to multiple other bigger films playing concurrently in theatres. Had it released in a silent release phase, the collections could have gone over Rs 40 crore and perhaps very close to Rs 50 crore too.
Maa Has Done Reasonably For A Kajol Movie, But Unreasonably For A Movie From The World Of Shaitaan
The collections of Maa so far are pretty reasonable, if seen as a Kajol movie. However, Maa is also directly linked to a brand like Shaitaan, and for that, it should have done better. It will now be over to Shaitaan 2 to draw in the big crowds and have the supernatural-horror franchise, up and running.
Talking about the economics of Maa, it is a safe venture because of the presold non-theatrical deals, and the Rs 20 crore worth of global theatrical share.
Kajol's Upcoming Movie Projects
After Maa, Kajol will be seen in Sarzameen, co-starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan. The movie will stream on JioHotstar from 25th July, 2025. Kajol's next after Sarzameen is not confirmed.

The film has fared well all across the board – be it the multiplexes or the single screens – and is headed to emerge a clean hit at the Indian box office. These numbers have come despite a no-release on IMAX, and heavy competition in India from films like F1, Metro In Dino, and Sitaare Zameen Par among others. The competition had also hit the showcasing of Jurassic World in India, but the film saw a spike in showcasing over the weekend based on public demand. Jurassic World would be looking to hold around the Rs 5 crore mark on Monday, and from there aim at a first week in the North of Rs 50 crore. There will be a surge in business again over the second weekend, and it is headed for a rather healthy theatrical run in India. The last Jurassic World film had collected around the Rs 60 crore mark in India, and the latest installment will zoom past the number with ease. The Scarlett Johansson film will join Final Destination: Bloodlines, Mission Impossible 8 and F1 as the successes from Hollywood in India this year. Jurassic World: Rebirth Day Wise Box Office Collections Friday: Rs 8.25 crore Saturday: Rs 12.50 crore Sunday: Rs 14.50 crore Total: Rs 35.25 crore Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates! Note: The above numbers are reported excluding 3D charges to align with the reporting standards of other films. It needs to be said that including 3D charges is actually the correct way to report and in future, all films could be corrected by including those charges but for now, these charges are excluded.
