Netflix’s recent release, the crime-comedy film Maa Behen, has been making fans go gaga. As a result, the movie has secured the second spot on the platform’s Global Top 10 Non-English Films list. Not just that, it has also been trending in 15 countries. The dark comedy is a complete package, offering everything from humour and emotional chaos to a compelling sense of revenge.
Madhuri Dixit’s Maa Behen tops Netflix’s chart
Helmed by Suresh Triveni, Maa Behen quickly climbed the charts and became a fan favourite. The story revolves around a dysfunctional mother-daughter trio who, in their own way, battle patriarchy. From Madhuri Dixit’s iconic saree looks as Rekha to viral dialogues like “Mujhe Garmi Lagti Hai” and “Humko Ek Idea Aaya Hai”, the film has firmly cemented its place in pop culture conversations.
Triptii Dimri hailed for her performance
Triptii, who portrays the role of Jaya, has also received massive appreciation among fans. The scene, where Triptii comes with a hard hitting monologue where her character finally lets go of her husband is being widely hailed by audience. Dharna Durga’s Sushma, with the now-popular #JijuMeinJauu moment, created another level of fan base for her.
Suresh Triveni on success of Maa Behen
Speaking about the response, director Suresh said, “From the very beginning, Maa Behen was about exploring unusual family dynamics, flawed yet deeply relatable characters, and the societal judgments that shape their lives, all through humour and chaos.”
