Asha Bhosle plays the role of a mother suffering from Alzheimer's in the Marathi film Mai.

Mai - movie review

Mai is the story of an helpless mother and her ungrateful and insensitive children.. The subject is cliched, but it is Asha Bhosle’s performance which is the highlight of the film. It is wonderful to see Asha Tai taking personal interest in this touching film where she is in front of the camera. And she has played the role of an ageing mother very naturally. This is the highlight of this film. In Baghban we had the aged parents whose children weren’t willing to take care of them. In this film it is the 65 year old mother of three daughters and a son. The son is much involved in his personal problems that he is least interested in taking care of his mother. The eldest daughter Madhu (Padmini Kolhapure) is the only one who cares for her mother, and then she ....
