Maa Box Office Day 3: Kajol’s Mythological Horror Sees Weekend Surge, Crosses ₹17 Crore Mark
Mumbai, June 30, 2025 –
Kajol’s much-awaited return to the big screen, Maa, has shown encouraging signs at the box office over its opening weekend. The mythological horror film, directed by Vishal Furia, collected ₹6.75 crore on Sunday, taking its three-day total to ₹17.40 crore, according to Sacnilk.
After opening with ₹4.65 crore on Friday, the film picked up marginally with ₹6 crore on Saturday and ₹6.75 crore on Day 3, reflecting positive word-of-mouth and Kajol’s strong screen presence.

The film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 31.17% on Sunday, with evening shows seeing the highest turnout at 46.68%. Although reviews have been mixed—praising Kajol’s performance but criticizing the second half—the genre novelty and mythological angle seem to have resonated with audiences.
Maa released alongside Vishnu Manchu’s action-fantasy film Kannappa, which featured cameo appearances by Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, and Mohanlal. While Kannappa had more star power, Maa outperformed it on Day 3, earning ₹6.75 crore compared to Kannappa’s ₹5.66 crore. However, in total weekend numbers, Maa is still playing catch-up.
Produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, and Kumar Mangat Pathak, Maa is Kajol’s first horror film. The plot follows Aambika (played by Kajol), a widow who, after her husband’s mysterious death, travels with her daughter to his ancestral village—only to uncover a demonic curse that threatens them both.
The cast includes Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma in supporting roles.
“I’m a mythology buff,” Kajol shared in a recent interview. “The concept of Maa Kali and Raktabeej has always fascinated me, and Maa brings that legend into a horror format that I couldn’t say no to.”
