Maa trailer: Kajol steps into the ‘world of Shaitaan' to fight evil and save her daughter. Watch
After Nushrratt Bharuccha's female-led horror films Chhori and Chhori 2, actress Kajol has decided to take forward the trend with her film Maa. While the theme and director remain same as Chhorri franchise, the makers have given the film a twist by adding their mothers name to their names in the trailer of the film with Ajay being introduced as Ajay Veena Devgn and director Vishal as Vishal Revanti Furia. These additions were also noticed in the names of actors Kajol, Ronit Roy, and Indraneil Sen Gupta, among others. On Thursday, the makers dropped the official trailer of the horror film, giving a glimpse into what they introduced as 'from the world of Shaitaan'. Like Chhori 2, the movie revolves around a mother, who single handedly fights the supernatural to save her daughter. The over two minutes video opens with a terrified Kajol trying to drive her daughter away from a dangerous place, only to land somewhere more dangerous. In the trailer, Vishal (Revanti) Furia tries to make the best use of Bollywood's most favourite word Maa, but has seemingly overused it with almost each dialogue repeating the word at least once. 'Maa, pet mein dard ho raha hai. (Maa, my stomach hurts),' says Kajol's daughter in the film. 'Pehli baar hai na shona, aage hotel dikhega na toh ruk jayenge (It is your first period, sweetheart. We will stop when we find a hotel ahead, ok?)' 'Maa, aur kitna time (Maa, how much longer?)', asks the daughter. Kajol replies, 'Bas, thodi der aur (Not much longer),' when suddenly a girl jumps onto their car, leaving them terrified. The mother-daughter duo then arrive at the hotel and Kajol warns her, 'Shweta, yeh ek nayi jagah hai aur apne maa ko bole bagair kahi mat jaana (we're in an unknown place and no wandering off without telling your mother).'

Like Chhori and Tumbbad, Maa also relies on an old legend, this time the legend of Daitya (demon) who feeds on girls' blood. The trailer ends with Kajol's dialogue: 'Jab tak teri maa tere sath hai, tera koi kuch nahi bigaad sakta. (As long as you have your mother with you, no one can ever harm you).' The trailer has attracted several reactions from fans, who flooded the comment section with praise for the makers with some even noticing the additions in the cast's names. A user wrote, 'Someone noticed, Every member of the movie, Be it an actor, producer, director, or an other member, All the names are written with their mother name, like Ajay Veena Devgn, Love the concept of tributing all the mothers.' Others praised Kajol and team fro trying something new and original in Bollywood. 'So happy to see production houses exploring the horror verses instead of the action and romatic stuffs,' wrote a user. Another user wrote, 'These types of movies, we want from Bollywood ,good concept, script, presentation, awesome bgm.' Kajol's Maa is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 27.
