I bought the DVD of Devi Maa at an eastern market for just one Euro at a little shop that had tons of cheap Indian movies with weird looking covers. I'd never heard of the movie before. The only reason why I bought it was because of the cool cover: a pretty girl dressed as a Kali like goddess with a cobra. I was more than pleasantly surprised when I watched the actual movie.

The story's about a woman who accidentally sacrifices her daughter to the goddess Devi Maa. Both she and her husband spend the rest of their life fighting Devi Maa and the evil lord of the underworld called Sattan (with double T).

This movie has all the thing's you'd expect from a Bollywood flick: melodrama, songs and dance and a plot that goes all over the place. Usually, I don't really care for the musical intermezzo's in Bollywood flicks, but here they're accompanied by strangely surreal video's and cheap but very creative use of CGI. Some sequences reminded me of the Jackson's video for Can You Feel It. The movie ends with an over-the-top battle between the father, Devi Maa and Sattan who's taken the shape of a giant fire-breathing skeleton warrior (although I don't think the director was influenced by Ray Harryhausen here).

A priceless piece of Bollywood insanity. Absolutely worth watching, if you can get your hands on a copy.
