Maa Movie Opens Stronger Than Kajol's Previous Solo Release!

After much anticipation, Kajol made her horror debut with the release of Maa in theatres on June 27, 2025. Produced by Ajay Devgn, the mythological horror film had a decent opening at the Indian box office. Read on for day 1 early trends!

Maa Box Office Day 1 Early Trends

According to early trends, Maa earned 4-5 crores on its first day. The film faced tough competition from Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par. Fortunately, Nikita Roy's film was postponed last minute, easing the congestion at the ticket windows.

Maa had a better opening than Superboys Of Malegaon, Crazxy, The Bhootnii, and Ground Zero, among others. However, it did not make it to the top 10 opening days of 2025 in Bollywood, needing a minimum of 7.84 crores to surpass Kesari Chapter 2 at the 10th spot.

Maa vs Kajol's Last Solo Theatrical Release

Kajol's last solo release was the comedy-drama Helicopter Eela in 2018, which earned only 85 lakhs on the opening day. In comparison, Maa has seen a significant increase in earnings, almost 370-488% higher, marking a substantial improvement.

Early reviews for Maa have been positive, indicating a potential growth during its first weekend. However, competition from Sitaare Zameen Par and Housefull 5 will pose challenges.

More about Maa

The mythological horror drama features Ronit Bose Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Surjyasikha Das, among others. There are also rumors of a cameo appearance by R Madhavan in the film.

Maa is part of the Shaitaan universe, directed by Vishal Furia and produced by Ajay Devgn Films and Jio Studio.
