Mumbai, Apr 10: This Mother’s Day, Ultra Play OTT, from Ultra Media & Entertainment, one of India’s leading content syndicators and custodians of classic cinema, celebrates a bond that has shaped Indian cinema in ways often unseen: the influence of mothers who are not just caregivers, but the first teachers, the first storytellers, and the earliest inspiration behind many of the stars we admire today.
Hindi cinema carries within it a quiet legacy of relationships that go beyond the screen. Sharmila Tagore and Saif Ali Khan reflect this beautifully—Sharmila’s performances in Aradhana, Amar Prem, and Safar defined an era of storytelling, while Saif brought his own charm with films like Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein and Ek Hasina Thi. Similarly, Dimple Kapadia’s iconic debut in Bobby and Twinkle Khanna’s Barsaat mark two generations with equally memorable beginnings.
Tanuja and Kajol share a legacy of emotional expressiveness seen in Haathi Mere Saathi, Bekhudi, and Karan Arjun. Jaya Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan represent quiet strength, from Anamika to Refugee and LOC Kargil. Equally enduring is the legacy of Nargis and Sanjay Dutt—her timeless performances in Mother India, Shree 420, and Chori Chori continue to resonate, while his journey through Khalnayak and Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. carries a deeply personal emotional connection.
Commenting on this, Mr. Sushilkumar Agrawal, Founder & CEO, Ultra Media & Entertainment Group, said,
“What ties all these journeys together is something beyond cinema; it is the idea that a mother’s influence often shapes not just a person, but the way they connect with the world, and for actors, that connection finds its way onto the screen. In many ways, these stories are not just about films or performances, but about values, emotions, and a legacy that quietly passes from one generation to the next.”
With a rich catalogue of classic and contemporary Hindi cinema, Ultra Play OTT brings together many such films and performances, allowing audiences to revisit not just iconic stories but also the relationships and legacies behind them.
This Mother’s Day, Ultra Play OTT invites viewers to celebrate not just the stars on screen, but the women behind them, because some legacies are not just inherited, they are felt.
