Kajol's latest release, Maa, a mythological horror film that hit theatres on June 27, is drawing praise online for its emotional depth, chilling atmosphere, and standout performances, particularly by the actress herself. Social media, especially on X, has been flooded with reactions hailing the film as 'gripping,' 'unexpected,' and 'visually stunning.' Directed by Vishal Furia, Maa blends themes of motherhood, ancient legends, and supernatural horror into a story that has struck a chord with audiences. Kajol, who plays a mother fighting dark forces to save her daughter, is being singled out as the film's emotional and narrative backbone. One user wrote, 'Maa is gritty, scary and a valuable franchise to horror films. Amazing vfx provides you with an end that you are not expecting. You will feel the vibe of strangers things at some point. Kajol carries the film on her shoulders. @itsKajolD is shining bright and is tough to take your eyes off her.' while another called Maa 'gritty, scary and a valuable addition to Indian horror.' The visual effects, inspired in parts by Western horror elements, were also praised, with comparisons made to Stranger Things. Film reviewer Siddharth R Kannan called Maa 'a genre-bending tale that blends emotion, mythology & horror seamlessly.' He described Kajol's performance as 'one of her boldest, most vulnerable' and also praised Ronit Roy for a 'layered, powerful' role. The direction, VFX, and music were highlighted as key strengths. Another viewer warned fans not to miss the post-credit scene, calling it 'a surprise worth staying for.' While Maa is still playing in theatres, its digital debut is not far off. The film is set to stream on Netflix, which has bagged its digital rights.

Set in the same cinematic universe as Shaitaan, Maa follows a mother-daughter road trip that takes a terrifying turn after they enter a cursed village haunted by ancient evil. What follows is a tense battle between maternal instinct and supernatural horror, as Kajol's character faces demonic forces head-on.

'Squid Game' have a happy ending? – know what the creators has to say
As 'Squid Game' Season 3 is on track to get released, the creator has some news on the ending of the season. The creator Hwang Dong-hyuk said something that might or might not meet the fans expectations and choice of an ending. What did the famous drama creator say? Hwang Dong-hyuk told The Guardian, 'The world, as I observe it, has less hope. I wanted to explore questions like, 'What is the very last resort of humankind? And do we have the will to give future generations something better?' After watching all three seasons, I hope we can each ask ourselves, 'How much humanity do I have left in me?'' A happy ending? Dong-hyuk said 'People like a happy ending. I'm like that too. But some stories, by nature, can't have one. If you try to force one, the essence is compromised. If a story is holding up a mirror to something, then it's not always a happy ending. Squid Game is no exception.' So no, the well-known drama won't be having a happy ending, as the story as a whole had a lot of shocking terms. Words of Lee Jung-jae, aka Gi-hun 'The finale was something even I didn't expect. So I'm sure a lot of fans will not see it coming. I think a lot of people will have different reactions. It's definitely going to spur a lot of conversation,' he said. The protagonist added further 'People have been so curious. A lot of them come to me asking for spoilers. I keep telling them that if you want to have fun watching season three, you just have to hold still. It's coming,' Release date and where to watch 'Squid Game' season 3 will premiere today and can be watched on Netflix. Also, if you want to refresh your plot of the series or want to know about it, the whole series is streaming on the same platform, Netflix.
