"Maa" (2025) struggles with a lack of originality and relies on a predictable, conventional storyline that feels outdated and uninspired. The screenplay is sluggish and disjointed, particularly in the first half, causing the narrative to drag without meaningful progression. Attempts at horror fall flat, offering few genuine scares and relying on illogical plot developments that weaken viewer engagement. The film leans heavily on melodrama and overused cinematic techniques, while technical elements such as editing and cinematography are mediocre. Supporting characters are underdeveloped, and the emotional core between the mother and daughter fails to leave a lasting impact.
