Overview

  • The CBFC granted Maa a U/A 16+ rating without any audio or visual cuts, defying the usual adults-only classification for Bollywood horror films.
  • The board required a longer on-screen disclaimer to ensure viewers can read it fully under updated certification guidelines.
  • Producers added explicit references to anti-girl child themes and human sacrifice and complied with 2021 rules by including the Hindi title.
  • Directed by Vishal Furia and produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande and Kumar Mangat Pathak, the film features Kajol alongside Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta and Jitin Gulati.
  • With a runtime of 2 hours 15 minutes, Maa follows Shaitaan (2024) as one of the only recent Hindi horror releases to earn a U/A rating and is set to premiere in theaters on June 27.
