This Mother’s Day, a heartfelt tribute to the unforgettable mothers of Bollywood’s golden era. These actresses didn’t just play mothers on screen — they became symbols of love, strength, sacrifice, and resilience, leaving behind performances that have stood the test of time.

From emotional sacrifices to moments of quiet strength, this special collection captures the many shades of motherhood as seen through the lens of classic Hindi cinema. Each film highlights a mother who wasn’t just a side character, but the emotional backbone of the story.

Viewers can revisit iconic roles such as Rakhee’s conflicted mother in Khalnayak, Nirupa Roy’s ever-enduring presence in Kranti and Purab Aur Pashchim, and Nutan’s powerful portrayals in Meri Jung and Karma. Reema Lagoo, Durga Khote, Dina Pathak, Lalita Pawar, and others bring warmth, dignity, and emotion to stories that continue to resonate with audiences even today.

In these films, “maa” is not just a word — it’s an emotion, a memory, and a legacy. Now streaming exclusively on Ultra Play, this Mother’s Day collection is a celebration of the women who defined motherhood in Indian cinema.
