A mother is a child’s first point of contact. She is the eyes and ears through which the child understands the world around him/her/they. It’s her arms that help a child explore the world around him/her when they are unable to do the same. Waking up at 5 am and being constantly on their feet till 12 am, mothers always go unappreciated for their constant efforts. And while continuously dedicating herself to us, she ends up forgetting about her dreams that used to keep her awake with joy and hope all night. “Maa Ke Sapne” explores this theme with the help of a very relatable scenario.
Maa Ke Sapne: A Glimpse
Brought to you by Life Tak, “Maa Ke Sapne” tells the tale of every mother and daughter. Although the bond shared between a mother and a daughter is very special, it doesn’t mean it’s always a garden of roses. As with every relationship, this relationship too has its fair share of bitter and sweet moments. But recently with electronic gadgets taking priority over true human interactions, the bitter moments have intensified and the sweeter ones reduced.
“Maa Ke Sapne” starts off with what appears to be a regular interaction between a mother and a daughter. As the film progresses we see how the daughter knowingly or unknowingly ends up hurting her mother during every tiny interaction they share. The bitterness boils up to such a point that viewers can’t help but sympathise with the mother but also feel guilty over acting in a similar fashion to their own mother.
With each bitter moment, we see how a mother loses a little bit more confidence in her dream. And honestly, can we blame her? The child she dedicated her entire life to can’t bother to spare a minute to acknowledge her dreams. The final resolution in the film not only leaves the viewer feeling a sense of contentment but also a lingering sense of guilt and motivation to seek redemption for all the times they have behaved poorly and completely disregarded their mother’s dream because it inconvenienced them.
Being shot entirely in one location, i.e., the house, “Maa Ke Sapne” adds a relatability element to the entire film. The emotions brought about by the cast in each scene just go on to show how great of an artist they truly are. Complete with simple dialogues, beautiful acting and everyday scenarios this film is sure to leave an impact.
Afterword
Dedicated to all the mothers out there, “Maa Ke Sapne” brings to light the unsung hero of our life, our mother. The film makes us question ourselves: are we really this ungrateful to the person who gave us this ability to dream? Have we become so comfortable with being cared for by our mothers that when it’s our turn to support them and help them achieve their dream we falter?
