Meet the Mothers Who Made Bollywood Cry, Smile, and Soar

This Mother’s Day, Ultra Play, India’s leading Hindi-only OTT platform, presents a heartfelt tribute to the unforgettable mothers of Bollywood’s golden era. These iconic women didn’t just portray mothers — they embodied strength, sacrifice, love, and resilience on screen, leaving behind performances that continue to resonate across generations.

Audiences can now revisit powerful and emotional portrayals of motherhood in a specially curated collection of timeless classics. Rakhee delivers a deeply moving performance in Khalnayak as a mother torn between love and the painful truth of her son’s criminal path. Nirupa Roy, the epitome of the Bollywood mother, brings unwavering emotional depth to films like Kranti and Purab Aur Pashchim. Nutan, known for her grace and quiet power, plays a central maternal figure in both Meri Jung and Karma, adding emotional gravity to each story.

Reema Lagoo, with her natural warmth, appears in Sapne Saajan Ke, offering a compassionate portrayal of a supportive mother. Durga Khote lends dignity and strength to her roles in Bobby and Ek Phool Do Maali, grounding the narratives in tradition and family values. Dina Pathak brings gentle resilience in Woh 7 Din, while Lalita Pawar, known for her strong screen presence, leaves a lasting impact in Kunwara Baap and Shree 420.

Also included in this nostalgic lineup are unforgettable titles like Betaab, Prem Granth, Sangam, and Jal Bin Machhli Nritya Bin Bijli — cinematic treasures where the “maa” was not just a supporting character, but the soul of the story.

“Villain ho ya hero… sab ke paas Maa hoti hai”. She’s the strength behind every hero and the tear in every climax.

Now streaming exclusively on Ultra Play, this Mother’s Day special invites viewers to relive the magic of Hindi cinema’s most enduring maternal moments.
