The Hindu Minorities in erstwhile East Pakistan faced inhuman atrocities and still facing discriminations. It is important to bring out and learn the history. Cinema is a good medium to explore such forgotten topics and bring out to the people. I congratulate the Makers and those who performed in this movie and extend my best wishes for successful run all across the country and the world & appeal everyone to watch it.”
Directed by Vijay Yelakanti and produced by TG Vishwa Prasad under the banner of People Media Factory, ‘Maa Kaali’ delves into the untold stories of atrocities faced by Hindu minorities in East Pakistan post-Direct Action Day. The film’s focus on history, combined with Abhishek Singh’s compelling performance, has earned widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
