When a strong actress like Kajol plays the lead role in a film, the expectations of the fans automatically increase. In such a situation, when her film Maa was released in theaters on 27 June 2025, the fans felt that this was going to happen. But with the temper of regret, horror and emotional drama, the film corrected, but gradually it started slowing down.

People were believed to have proved to be another big hit of the film Kajol. But the response of the film was not the same as everyone thought.

The film got to see mixed reactions mixed with audience and film critics with the release. Its earnings on Opening Day were well, but since then its graph fell down slowly. There were no longer discussions about the film’s tongue about the audience, the effect of which was also clearly seen at the box office.

How much mother did the mother earned in 22 days?

According to the latest reports, Kajol’s film mother has earned Rs 38.51 crore in India in 22 days. After adding tax and GST, the film’s gross earnings have been 45.44 crores.

At the same time, if we talk about the earnings of the film abroad, then it earned only 6.45 crores. In this way, the world’s worldwide gross earnings have now been Rs 51.94 crore.

Ahead of Mardaani but behind Tanaji

Although the mother’s earnings were undoubtedly less than the expectations of the audience, the film has achieved a small and special achievement. It has left behind Rani Mukherjee’s film Mardaani’s lifetime earnings. Let me tell you that Mardaani did a business of Rs 36 crore in 2014.

Along with this, it has become the first such film after Kajol’s Tanaji, which has earned more than Rs 50 crore worldwide. Kajol’s acting remained strong this time like every time, but the film’s grip probably remained loose.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are one of the most royal and favorite couple of Bollywood. The love story of these two started on the set of the film ‘Tashan’. After dating each other for five years after the film, both of them got married on 16 October 2012. But do you know that before marriage, Saif was given a unique advice by Rani Mukherjee, which he still remembers.

Rani Mukherjee gave special advice
Saif Ali Khan told in an interview that when he started dating Kareena, his co-star Rani Mukherjee had explained to him that this relationship should be seen as ‘Do hero one house’. Rani meant that when both partners were working, they should be equal. One should not give a limited role as a woman or a man.

According to Saif, Rani wanted to say that when both wife and wife are working, they should give each other the status of full respect and equal status.

Saif’s thinking changed with the advice of Rani Mukherjee

Saif also shared this story in his wife Kareena’s show What Women Want. He said, I had never liked any girl who works in films before. On which the queen explained to me that the wife should get respect for her work and hard work, the same one that a man also gets.

This thing about Rani Mukherjee means a lot to Saif even today. This special advice of the actress brought a big change in Saif Ali Khan’s thinking. He further said that a good relationship is the same, where both people are equal, respect each other and walk step by step.

Rani and Saif’s pair were also well liked on screen

Rani Mukherjee and Saif Ali Khan have also worked together in many films. Like – Hum Tum, Ta Ra Rum Pam, Little Love A little Magic and Bunty and Babli 2.
