Ravi Kishan has recently showered praise on Triptii Dimri and her latest film, Maa Behen, describing the project as a significant milestone in the actress’s career. Speaking about the film, the actor said
that it is grateful that the project came into Triptii’s life at the right time, helping audiences see a different side of her as a performer.
In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Ravi Kishan says, “Thank God yeh film aai. Thank God Tripti Dimri ke jeevan mein yeh film aayi – Maa Behen jisne unko apne Animal wale suroop se nikala bahar.
The actor’s comments refer to the immense popularity Triptii gained following her appearance in the blockbuster Animal which also starred Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. While the film significantly elevated her profile and made her a household name, Ravi believes Maa Behen has provided the actress with an opportunity to showcase a wider range of emotions and acting abilities.
About Maa Bahen.
The film, released on Netflix, revolves around Rekha (Madhuri Dixit) and her two daughters, Jaya (Triptii Dimri) and Sushma (Dharna). The film is a crime-comedy centered on a dysfunctional mother-daughter trio, Rekha and her two daughters, Jaya and Sushma. Their already chaotic lives turn upside down when a person (Ravi Kishan) dies in Rekha’s house. To avoid getting caught, the three women get tangled in a series of lies, cover-ups, and hilarious misadventures while dealing with nosy neighbors and unexpected complications, only to discover that the guy they believed had died is actually alive.
While, at its heart, the Madhuri Dixit starrer is a chaotic thriller and comedy mystery, it also touches upon the everyday scrutiny women face and the expectations society places upon them.
The film’s biggest strength lies in its ability to balance humour with emotion. The screenplay constantly throws in twists and turns that manage to pull laughter and the constant banter between the trio makes the situation light and palatable. Meanwhile, their dysfunctional yet deeply loving relationship forms the emotional backbone of the story
That said, the screenplay does lose some momentum in the second half. As a result, the 2-hour-15-minute runtime begins to feel longer than it should. Had the film been around 30 minutes shorter, it could have been a far stronger entertainer.
