Maa Behen review: A deliciously chaotic dramedy that gets its women just right

Key points

• Most of us have seen her -- the woman who wears sleeveless blouses, laughs loudly, knows her worth, and somehow becomes the neighbourhood WhatsApp group's favourite topic of discussion.
• Give society a confident woman, and it immediately starts building stories around her -- "She must be manipulative, too modern, or even promiscuous." Netflix's Maa Behen takes that all-too-familiar tendency and spins it into a deliciously chaotic dramedy that is as interested in making you laugh as it is in holding up a mirror to those assumptions.
• Starring Madhuri Dixit Nene, Triptii Dimri and Dharna Durga, the film arrives wrapped in crime, family drama, neighbourhood gossip and enough absurdity to keep things entertaining throughout.
• While emotional undercurrents run beneath, humour makes it an immensely light and enjoyable watch.
• The story begins with Jaya (Dimri), a woman whose life revolves around her marital home.
