Tata Play Binge goes beyond just flowers and cards by curating a heartfelt celebration of motherhood — not for a day, but for every day. With a special showcase titled ‘Everyday is Mother’s Day’, the platform is spotlighting five unforgettable on-screen moms who’ve inspired, protected, and wowed us with their strength, humour, and unshakable love.
From old-school moral anchors to modern-day matriarchs slaying it on social media, this curated lineup reflects the rich, complex shades of motherhood as seen in Indian cinema. The streaming platform has handpicked films that aren’t just entertaining, but also deeply resonant in their portrayal of moms — who are, as the brand rightly puts it, our “first best friends, multitasking pros, tireless cheerleaders, and occasional sass-queens.”
Sridevi’s dual avatars lead the lineup — first as Shashi in ‘English Vinglish’, the soft-spoken homemaker who learns English in Manhattan while quietly reclaiming her self-worth. The platform calls her the “Multitasking Mom” — a tribute to mothers who juggle the world without skipping a beat. Then there’s her powerful portrayal in Mom, where she transforms into a fierce protector, willing to go to any lengths when justice is denied to her daughter.
Swara Bhasker shines as the ‘Educative Mom’ in ‘Nil Battey Sannata’, playing Chanda — a domestic worker who goes back to school with her daughter to break the cycle of poverty and resignation. It’s a quiet, determined performance that underlines the unrelenting spirit of single mothers striving to create a better future.
Bringing the laughs and breaking social norms, ‘Badhaai Ho’ casts Neena Gupta as the “Cool Mom” who finds herself pregnant in her 50s. What follows is a hilarious, yet moving tale of family, embarrassment, and unconditional acceptance. With an ensemble cast that includes Ayushmann Khurrana and Gajraj Rao, it’s a story of how modern moms redefine what it means to be cool.
No celebration of motherhood would be complete without the towering presence of ‘Mother India’. Nargis Dutt’s portrayal of Radha, a mother who sacrifices everything to uphold her values, stands eternal in Indian cinema. Tata Play Binge calls her the “Original Supermom” — a fitting title for a character who still defines maternal strength and moral courage, decades later.
So whether you’re watching with her, in memory of her, or just to feel the warmth of her love, Tata Play Binge’s special tribute offers more than just screen time — it’s a love letter to every ‘maa’ out there.
