hats off to the movie team . This is a movie which reflects the caring nature of a mother . I hope one day will come where all the women of India are child-caring . Involving in sex before marriage is a sin and most of "today's" so called women indulge in such sinful activities and they end up abandoning the child . There might be other reasons but this is what I know as of now . I request the movie team to make such movies more often until our India is free of child abandonment . This movie is much better than other bollywood movies as the other movies these days mainly contain pornography and that is not a good thing . Thank you Kamal bhai for showing our true India .
You should have avoided the abusive words atleast,so that a wide range of audience could have watch this masterpiece.very heart touching and raw form of movie,please make this sort more often.
Please make movies like this ...I have never seen such a good movie in my life.
Its film's like these which tell you that movie-making in the land of bollywood is headed in the right direction...
After a myriad of movies with glam star cast and no storyline, here's a movie which has got its priorities right. With a strong storyline and crisp film-making, Thanks Maa is a touching tale based on a relationship which most take for granted-- mother and child. The beauty of the film lies in the way it highlights the issue of abandoning infants, using ironies found rampant in our daily lives. At times the reality it portrays seems a bit too harsh to believe, but overall, the issue is handled beautifully, without making judgements or imposing moralities.
Wonderful performances by Shams and his cronies. (The National Award well deserved in his case.) Superb settings, amazing cinematography. There are moments which the movie could have done without, but then again, it might also have to do with the fact that most scenes and settings shown in the movie are stuff that we, who live above the poverty line, will never have seen or imagined. With settings like these it is easy to often fall prey to stereotyping, but thankfully, Thanks Maa has stayed clear of such mistakes. The dialogues are a little too harsh at times, but emotions run high and its easy to feel for the plight of the children. Maybe a little shaky on the technical front, but overall, this movie is a must watch...

let me very simple while telling it. this movie is great. there are so many good things to tell about this movie,not going in the details but i have to mention that it will cause you goosebumps at its climax. all the lead characters are effective in their craft. however i personally like sursuri very much. she got such a innocent voice. salman as municipality shows a true mother nature. this movie brings so many issues in very effective story telling manner.Including all the issues through a single thread.while movie brings a lot of emotions, sometimes you feel sad though the interesting characters such as dedh sana and sursuri will make you smile i wonder why irfan kamal is not a famous name in the industry . this man got huge potential.
