Kajol is set to return to the big screen with Maa, a mythological horror film releasing on June 27, 2025. Despite limited promotions, the film is already one of IMDb’s most anticipated releases. It’s showing clear signs of strong organic buzz.
Maa blends mythology, blind faith, and supernatural horror — a mix tailor-made for theatres. With chilling sound design and striking visuals, this is the kind of film meant for the darkness of a cinema hall, not an OTT scroll.

Kajol is among Bollywood’s most respected actresses. But her solo box office pull has always been questioned. Unlike Alia Bhatt, who delivered solo hits like Raazi and Highway, or Kareena Kapoor with Heroine, Veere Di Wedding, and Crew, Kajol’s biggest hits usually involved superstar co-stars.
Maa offers her a rare chance — to carry an entire film on her shoulders. And this time, there’s no big hero beside her. She isn’t seen as someone who can open a film big, but Maa could change that.

What makes it more interesting is the clash. Maa is releasing one week after Aamir Khan’s emotional drama Sitaare Zameen Par which is releasing on June 20. Surprisingly, early trade chatter suggests Kajol might actually have the edge.
Trade analysts expect Sitaare Zameen Par to open around 7-8 crores, and it is expected that Maa would also open in the same range.

For Aamir, an 8-crore opening would be disastrous. But for Maa, that same figure would be a big achievement. This flipped expectation has caught the entire industry’s attention.
There’s also buzz about a shared universe with Ajay Devgn’s Shaitaan, and even a potential R. Madhavan cameo. Fan theories are swirling, adding to the hype.
Will Maa turn Kajol’s solo film fortunes around? Could it even eclipse Aamir at the box office? That’s what everyone will be watching on June 27.
