Kajol arrived in the theaters with her horror game on point, and as her film opened to mixed reviews, the ticket window did not live up to the buzz in advance. The pre-sales for Maa on BMS have been on the lower side, hitting only 33.5K tickets in advance.
Comparing Kajol’s film to the other female-led arrival of the year – Emergency, Kajol has fallen short by almost 8K tickets. Kangana Ranaut’s film managed to register a pre-sale of 41K tickets on BookMyShow.
Kajol’s Maa managed to surpass the pre-sales of Fateh (29K), Azaad (18K), Mere Husband Ki Biwi (16K), The Diplomat (15K), and Loveyapa (5K). It failed to surpass Shahid Kapoor’s Deva as well, which registered a pre-sale of 35K on BookMyShow.

Check out the top 10 ticket pre-sales of Bollywood films of 2025 on BMS.
While Kajol has clearly failed to surpass Emergency’s ticket pre-sales and could not enter the top 10 pre-sales of 2025 for a Hindi film on BMS, it would be interesting to see if the word-of-mouth affects the opening day sales of the film on the ticket window. If it does not, then it could be a crisis situation for the horror film already!
The film is said to be a part of Ajay Devgn’s Shaitaan world, which aims to create a Devil Universe of sorts. But the pre-sales have not matched up to the hype of Shaitaan, which registered a pre-sales of 159K. Hopefully, day 1 changes the game for Kajol!
