Maa is a song from the movie Taare Zameen Par, released in 2007 and became a huge box office hit. The movie is a psychological drama produced and directed by Aamir Khan; he also played one of the leading roles in the movie. In addition to him, Darsheel Safary was the boy who played the role of an artistically gifted 8-year-old boy whose poor academic performance led his parents to make him send him to the boarding school where he met the new art teacher Nikumbh, played by Aamir Khan.
The interaction between the two made Nikumbh find out that the kid might be suffering from dyslexia, and the story revolves around how he's able to help Ishaan overcome his reading disorder. The song "Maa" is played in the movie when the parents of Eshaan leave him in boarding school, and the montage shows how he's trying to cope with such a massive change in his life. Paroon Joshi is the man behind the lyrics of such an emotional song, and the voice you hear is from Shankar Mahadevan.
The movie got praise left and right for its immaculate story, dialogues, soundtrack, and breathtaking performances by actors. Apart from all the money the movie made, one important thing it accomplished was spreading awareness for dyslexia.
Taare Zameen Par was the movie that Indian cinema sent forward for nomination at the 81st Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film but did not get the nomination. On the other hand, the movie won 3 National Awards: Best Film on Family Welfare, Best Lyrics won by Prasoon Joshi for the song "Maa" and Best Male Playback Singer to Shanker Mahadevan again for "Maa."
