A few weeks ago, the trailer of Maa was released online, and to everyone’s surprise, it grabbed attention right away. The film stars Kajol in the lead role and offers a thrilling horror experience, as shown in the promo. With its spooky visuals and gripping storyline, the trailer has built strong curiosity among fans and general audiences. But the big question remains — will Maa help Kajol make a powerful comeback at the Indian box office?
Kajol: A Veteran Actress Waiting for a Hit
Kajol is one of Bollywood’s most talented actresses. She has been entertaining audiences for decades with her strong performances. Known for picking meaningful and bold roles instead of just being part of male-driven films, she has built a strong reputation in the industry. However, things have changed a bit in recent years.
Only One Theatrical Release Since the Pandemic
Since COVID-19 hit, Kajol has only had one theatrical release — Salaam Venky in 2022. This emotional drama didn’t perform well and earned less than ₹3 crore at the Indian box office. It failed to attract audiences despite her solid performance. In total, she has done four films in the post-COVID era, but only Salaam Venky made it to the big screen.
Before that, her last theatrical hit was Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, which came out in 2020. It was a big success and also featured her husband, Ajay Devgn. So, it has been nearly four years since Kajol saw a successful theatrical release.
Maa Set to Release on June 27, 2025
Now, Kajol is gearing up for the release of Maa, which hits theatres on June 27, 2025. With a powerful trailer and horror theme, it promises to give viewers an edge-of-the-seat experience. What’s even more exciting is that Maa is said to be connected to the world of Shaitaan, a horror hit starring Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan.
This means the makers are possibly creating a shared horror universe — something new for Bollywood. The success of Shaitaan may benefit Maa by drawing more attention and helping it get a strong opening at the box office.
Will Maa Be Kajol’s Big Comeback?
With so much going in its favor — a thrilling trailer, the horror genre, a shared universe angle, and Kajol’s solid fan base — Maa has a lot of potential. If the story and execution live up to the hype, the film could bring Kajol back into the limelight and give her the box office success she has been waiting for.
Fans are hopeful that this will mark a turning point in her career and open up more exciting roles in the future. All eyes are now on June 27, when we’ll finally see if Maa can deliver the scares and the success.
