Mumbai: Netflix has dropped the first look of its upcoming original film Maa Behen, and with that, it brings together Madhuri Dixit, Ravi Kishan and Triptii Dimri for the very first time. Revealed at the global showcase Next on Netflix, the announcement has instantly generated buzz for its bold premise and genre-blending approach.
A Darkly Comic Crime Story with Unexpected Turns
At its core, Maa Behen revolves around Rekha and her daughters, Jaya and Sushma. Despite being the constant subject of gossip in their conservative neighbourhood, the trio is more used to squabbling than sticking together. However, their lives spiral out of control when they discover a dead body in their kitchen.
As a result, the “maa-behen” trio must reluctantly unite to cover up the crime. The narrative, therefore, unfolds as a chaotic mix of crime and comedy, packed with sharp humour, mounting tension and surprising twists.
Makers Call It a Bold, Genre-Bending Film
According to the Maa Behen team, the film comfortably sits in a genre of its own. While the story may feel familiar on the surface, it remains completely unpredictable at every step. Moreover, the makers revealed that discovering the film’s tone during the shoot was part of the creative excitement.
In addition, they praised Netflix for backing their unconventional vision. The platform, they said, gave them complete creative freedom to tell an unapologetically irreverent story designed to keep audiences guessing throughout.
Performances Take Centre Stage
Interestingly, Maa Behen is driven largely by its performances. Madhuri Dixit leads the cast, while Triptii Dimri and Ravi Kishan step into pivotal roles. Alongside them, Dharnaa Durga adds depth to the ensemble.
Notably, the makers believe that the actors’ performances will be a major highlight and a key force behind the film’s unpredictable narrative.
A Strong Creative Team Behind the Scenes
Behind the camera, Maa Behen is helmed by Suresh Triveni, known for his nuanced and character-driven storytelling. Furthermore, he has co-written the story with Pooja Tolani, who has also penned the screenplay and dialogues.
The film is produced by Vikram Malhotra and Suresh Triveni under Abundantia Entertainment, in association with Opening Image Films.
Teaser and First Look Spark Curiosity
Meanwhile, Netflix has released the teaser along with official first-look images. These visuals offer a glimpse into the film’s quirky tone and suspenseful setup, hinting at a dark comedy that blends domestic chaos with crime-driven tension.
With its distinctive concept, powerful cast and fearless storytelling, Maa Behen is shaping up to be one of Netflix India’s most intriguing upcoming original films.
