Netflix marked Madhuri Dixit’s birthday with a special surprise for fans by unveiling the premiere date of its upcoming crime-comedy Maa Behen. The film is set to premiere on June 4 and promises a chaotic blend of humour, family drama, and unexpected twists.
Described as a rooted crime-comedy packed with chaos, comedy and full-blown kaand, Maa Behen follows the story of a dysfunctional mother-daughter trio — Rekha, Jaya and Sushma — who suddenly find themselves in the middle of a nightmare situation.
At the centre of the madness is Rekha, a mother already struggling to manage life’s many challenges, until things spiral completely out of control when a dead body turns up in her kitchen. Forced into survival mode, Rekha and her daughters must quickly come up with plans, cover their tracks and stay one step ahead of suspicious neighbours who could uncover the truth.
The film stars Madhuri Dixit, Tripti Dimri and Dharna Durgaa in key roles, with Ravi Kishan also playing an important part. The ensemble cast further includes Geetanjali Kulkarni, Arunoday Singh and Shardul Bhardwaj. Directed by Tumhari Sulu and Jalsa filmmaker Suresh Triveni, Maa Behen is produced by Abundantia Entertainment in association with Opening Image Films.
Founder & CEO, Abundantia Entertainment and Producer Vikram Malhotra shares, “Maa Behen is the kind of story that hooks you with its audacious premise and stays with you for its emotional truth. Beneath the chaos and the humour, is a deeply human story about family, society and the choices people make to survive in this judgmental world. What excited us as at Abundantia was building a world that feels both wildly entertaining and instantly relatable. And of course, the opportunity to join hands with the amazing Suresh Triveni once again. I am very excited to work with Netflix to bring this unique and unpredictable crime-comedy to life in our first partnership.”
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director, Original Films, Netflix India shares, “Maa Behen is a truly special addition to our growing library of entertainers — a hilarious comedy full of surprises that begins with laughs and unravels in unexpected, exciting ways. With director Suresh Triveni’s sensitive gaze and his ability to build characters with real depth, the film brings together the incredible trio of Madhuri Dixit, Tripti Dimri, and Dharna Durga, along with our beloved Ravi Kishan, in never-seen-before roles. We are excited to partner with Abundantia Entertainment on this distinctive story, and can’t wait for audiences to discover all that it has in store.”
