DocuBay, a part of the IN10 Media Network, has premiered its latest original documentary ‘Operation Maa’, now streaming exclusively on the platform.

The film sheds light on a remarkable initiative in Jammu & Kashmir that encouraged local militants to surrender arms and return to their families — a movement anchored in the enduring bond between a mother and her child.

The documentary, which received an overwhelming response to its trailer earlier this month, tells powerful first-hand stories of young men who were given a second chance at life, and the extraordinary individuals who helped make it possible.

Ahead of its release, DocuBay organised a special preview screening for senior Army officers in New Delhi on August 22. The film left a deep impact on attendees, with several officers highlighting how it captured the human side of service. One senior officer remarked, “ ‘Operation Maa’ is more than just a story. It is a reminder that compassion, when combined with courage, has the power to change destinies.”

Aditya Pittie, Managing Director, IN10 Media Network, said, “With ‘Operation Maa’, we bring forth a story that is not only rooted in the Valley but also in the conscience of our nation. At DocuBay, our commitment is to present narratives that inspire hope, unity, and emotional liberation. We are proud to make this story available to audiences worldwide.”

Samar Khan, Chief Content Officer, DocuBay, added, “The documentary is an honest portrayal of humanity in the most unexpected circumstances. The Delhi preview showed us how deeply this story connects with people, and we are humbled to share it with the world today.”

Lt. Gen. K.J.S. Dhillon (Retd.), whose work inspired the initiative, said, “When we initiated ‘Operation Maa,’ our mission was simple: to bring our boys back home to their mothers. This documentary captures that journey with honesty and heart. No weapon can ever match the strength of a mother’s love.”
