THE MAA OF THE MOTHERS

When Salim-Javed wrote "Mere paas Maa hai," in 1975, little did the duo know that the cult dialogue would mark the beginning of an era that would never end. The phrase sums up the respect and love felt for moms the world over. Well, the Bollywood-watching world, for sure. For it was a fitting reply from an honest younger brother to the elder one who had earned his wealth via unfair means and was showing off his bank balance, bangla and gaadi, insinuating that the former had nothing. The character of the mother played a pivotal role in Deewar (1975) and laid down the foundation for the film, much like many others that preceded and succeed it. While the dialogue can add only so much, the all-encompassing emotion and charm have been added to these movies by some of the bestknown women actors of the industry who have now come to represent quintessential Bollywood mothers - the ones who know how to evoke tears with their mamta and the ones who knew how to set things straight with one no-nonsense look. Shraddha Kamdar pays tribute to the women who have essayed these characters with emotion, ease and wit
