- DirectorAranyo AnawerStarsPori MoniAzad Abul KalamFarzana ChobiThe film Maa (Mother) was based on a true event that occurred in a village in 1971, during the Bangladesh Liberation War. At the very beginning of the movie - A priest is trying to force an innocent teenage girl to be married to a dog. As an explanation, the priest tells everyone that the girl has numerous sins. Marriage is necessary to get rid of these sins. Doctor Gopendro Lal Barua rescues the girl from this dire situation Thus the story begins by highlighting the terrible superstitions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. The film has brought to light that such beliefs were widespread in East Pakistan prior to the liberation war. Leaving the lucrative jobs in Karachi and Dhaka, he is living in his hometown just because there are no medical facilities here. Giving medical services to his village's people has now become his sole religion. The story revolves around the birth, illness, and death of the child of Beenapani Barua, the daughter-in-law of Dr .Gopendra Lal Barua. A child was born in the house of doctor Gopendra Lal Barua's son, Mrinal Kanti Barua, and daughter-in-law, Beenapani Barua. It was the late 1970s. When the baby was six months old, the liberation war had started across the whole country-the baby fell suddenly ill. At one stage of the illness, he no longer had consciousness. Everyone thought the child had died. Doctor Gopendra Lal Barua, who treats all the people of the entire village, was detained in a Pakistani military camp when his own grandson was sick. He was still there when he learned that his grandson had died without getting medical services. He was granted conditional release from the military camp. When he returned home, he found out that all the arrangements for burying the child had been made. But the child's mother, his daughter-in-law Beena, clings to the child's unconscious body. And she declared to everyone that her child was not dead. In no way will she let go of her child from her hands. Beena's morale increases after seeing her father-in-law, and she regains strength in her body. Beena tells her father-in-law to check if her child is dead or not. Dr. Gopendra Lal Barua prepares the injection but does not inject it. Helpless, he also informed that the child is really dead. But Beena is not willing to accept the reality. Beena started to rebel. She forces everyone out of the house and once again declares that her child is not dead. No way would she let her child be buried underground. Her reason was that a senseless child could not live under the ground without their mother. A few days go by. It's dawn. And again the sun rises. The mother does not let go of the child from her arms. At one point the people of the whole area decided together that dead children cannot be kept in the house like this. If this continues the baby's body will rot - the smell will come out. So everyone took the baby from the mother and started preparing to bury the child again. Right before the end of the preparation, Beena rushes toward the baby and snatches him. Suddenly, the child starts crying.
