==Reception==
===Critical response===
A reviewer from [[The Hollywood Reporter]] says "This is clearly an extremely personal film for the director, and its hidden agenda is finding out what really happened to his mother. Perhaps this is why in the last third of the film, its richest vein, the filmmaker himself appears onscreen and relentlessly pushes the old man to face the past and tell him the facts he has avoided for all these years".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/maama-review-1155812/ |title=‘Ma.Ama’: Film Review - Mumbai 2018 |date=29 October 2018|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|language=en|access-date=29 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230127154811/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/maama-review-1155812/ |archive-date=27 January 2023}}</ref> Nandini Ramnath of [[Scroll.in]] Wrote "In one sequence in Ma.Ama, Philip finishes bathing and casually chucks his briefs at his second wife to be washed – another unscripted moment that was reshot for the film".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://scroll.in/reel/897254/in-ma-ama-an-old-man-chases-a-dream-about-his-long-dead-wife-and-a-son-looks-for-his-mother |title=In ‘Ma.Ama’, an old man chases a dream about his long-dead wife and a son looks for his mother |date=7 October 2018|work=[[Scroll.in]]|language=en|access-date=29 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230826165310/https://scroll.in/reel/897254/in-ma-ama-an-old-man-chases-a-dream-about-his-long-dead-wife-and-a-son-looks-for-his-mother |archive-date=26 August 2023}}</ref>
