Someone will make a film that will give Madhuri, ripe for a role in which she can play to her strengths, her due. Sadly, Maa Behen is not that film.

While mounting a meaningful social critique and a broad, crowd-pleasing comedy, director Suresh Triveni ultimately compromises on both.

Maa Behen makes you laugh, and it makes you squirm. It’s uncomfortable, messy and flawed just like the women that society could never fathom.

A must-watch film that masterfully balances humour, social commentary, and the hardships faced by widowed women. Its storytelling is engaging and emotionally resonant, keeping you invested from beginning to end. It also exposes the ugly face of misogyny, showing how some men react with abuse when women refuse to conform to their expectations. Even more unsettling is how victims are sometimes abandoned or blamed by other women instead of being supported.

Beautiful movie. I loved how they showed the stigma surrounding widows. Women who wear a very non promiscuous piece of clothing, i.e. the sleeveless blouse are instantly labled as a 'daayan' and are sexualized. This movie showed just how these stigmas harm the life of an ordinary woman. Loved the story's pacing too and the actors all killed it. Especially the main trio. Those who criticized the movies saying it promoted obscene behaviour clearly didn't watch the whole movie or come from a place of deep rooted misogyny.

It promotes promiscuous, obscene bhaviours. Sexualises women and pushes infidelity as a norm. It expect single mothers to turn to illicit behaviours as means of survival and claim it's about feminism. Don't let such movies corrupt your mind or your children's

Story is lame. Madhuri is overacting and total misfit for the character. Not sure why she insists to act and destroy her legacy. I could not watch till the end.
