==Reception==<br />
In a typically negative review, [[K. Shankar Pillai]], in a column for the magazine ''[[Shankar's Weekly]]'', wrote of ''Daadi Maa'' in 1966, "Whatever else our faults as a nation, none shall ever blame us for letting down Indian motherhood... Bina Rai is trie Mom with the halo, married to Ashok Kumar who is quick to scowl, yell and shoot at people. He is no lover here; he is a Rajah entitled to the said tantrums. He even stands for elections, which is quite understandable since Rajahs are elected or nominated nowadays. He is opposed by a commoner backed by Durga Khote who is the stepmother of Ashok Kumar... Brother- in-law Renrnan is an ardent believer in socialism and looks as though he has swallowed Avadi and all and all that hook, line and sinker... Mehmood appears often, trying hard to raise a laugh or two. He is the only relieving feature although he too contributes his share of hamming... [Kumar] is getting more rotund and even he is obviously fed up with Indian cinema, whatever film journals might say".<ref name="Shankar">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KdgcAQAAMAAJ|title = Shankar's Weekly|year = 1966}}</ref><br />
