What's
cinema
without
the
presence
of
maa?
Over
the
years,
the
Hindi
Film
Industry
has
represented
various
shades
of
this
glorious
being
who
is
considered
to
be
an
epitome
of
love
and
sacrifice.
While
some
films
featured
them
as
the
main
protagonists
(Mother
India,
Mom
to
name
a
few),
others
acted
more
like
a
moral
compass
who
made
sure
that
the
heroes
always
stuck
to
their
virtue
of
goodness
and
that
justice
always
prevailed
in
the
end.
On
reel,
the
most
lethal
battles
could
simply
be
won
with
'maa
ka
aashirwad'
or
they
can
even
send
you
on
a
guilt
trip
with
'Kya
issi
din
ke
liye
tujhe
paal
poos
ke
bada
kiya
thha.'
And
hell
hath
no
fury
like
a
mother
whose
child
has
been
wronged!
With
changing
times,
there
has
been
a
shift
in
the
story-telling
when
it
comes
to
portrayals
of
a
mother
on
screen.
She's
no
longer
the
sacrificial,
perfect
being.
Nevertheless,
she
is
still
the
one
without
whom
Hindi
films
will
also
remain
incomplete.
On
Mother's
Day
today
(May
8,
2022),
we
bring
you
some
of
the
most
iconic
dialogues
on
'maa'
which
never
fails
to
make
us
cheer
loud.

"Aadhe
joote
polish
karne
ke
baad
mujhe
ek
paav
milte
tha.
Thaale
se
jyaada
neeche
giranakar
khaane
waalon
ke
beech,
mitti
mein
girey
paav
ke
liye
tum
itna
tadap
rahi
ho,
toh
tumhari
majboori
mein
samajhta
hoon.
Swarth
ke
peeche
bhaagne
waali
yeh
duniya
kisike
liye
bhi
nahi
rukti
hai;
hume
khud
rokna
padta
hai.
Inn
logon
ke
baare
mein
mat
socho,
koi
tumse
jyaada
taakatvar
nahi.
Is
duniya
mein
sabse
bada
yoddha
maa
hoti
hain."

"Ammi
jaan
kehti
thhi,
koi
dhanda
chhota
nahin
hota
aur
dhande
se
bada
koi
dharm
nahin
hota."

bangla
hai,
gaadi
hai..kya
hai
kya
hai
tumhare
pass?"
Shashi
Kapoor:
"Mere
paas
maa
hai."

jaati

na
toh

"Jab
Maa
ka
Dil
tadapta
hai
na,
toh
Aasman

bhi

jaati
hai."

"Maa
ke

tak
koi
khush
nahin
raha
hain."
