As they attempt to hide the truth, the family navigates lies, panic, and intrusive neighbors in a fast-paced comedy of errors. Madhuri Dixit plays Rekha, alongside Triptii Dimri and Dharna Durgaa as her daughters. Ravi Kishan also features in a key role, with the ensemble cast including Geetanjali Kulkarni, Arunoday Singh, and Shardul Bhardwaj.
Production and Writing
Produced by Abundantia Entertainment in association with Opening Image Films, the film is backed by producers Vikram Malhotra and Suresh Triveni. The story has been written by Suresh Triveni and Pooja Tolani, who also handled the screenplay and dialogues.
Producer and Director Statements
Speaking about the project, Vikram Malhotra, Founder and CEO of Abundantia Entertainment, said, '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.' He added, 'What excited us 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.'
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director of Original Films at Netflix India, described the film as 'a truly special addition' to the platform's slate. '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,' she said.
'Maa Behen' premieres on June 4, exclusively on Netflix.
