We have often heard that love doesn’t see logic, but that’s not the case with Agastya, played by Mihir Ahuja, in Prime Video’s Maa Ka Sum. The 19-year-old mathematical genius tries to solve relationships and matchmaking not with emotions but with his equations and algorithms. However, what touches the soul in this tale is the beautiful bond between Agastya and his mother, Vinita, played by Mona Singh.

The plot centers on Vinita, a single mother, and her math-genius son, Agastya. Vinita alone raises her son well, making him independent and even encouraging him to leave home at 20. What comes as a delightful surprise is that Agastya notices his mother’s loneliness and works to find a perfect partner for his mother, Vinita, not with emotions but with algorithms.

He teams up with his maths teacher, Ira Raina, played by Angira Dhar, who is no different from Agastya, analyzing relationships with data and patterns. Agastya and Ira aim to find a suitable partner for Vinita, calculating it with numbers, but Abhimanyu, played by Ranveer Brar, who unexpectedly walks into Vinita’s life, turns the tables. Abhimanyu’s entry brings genuine happiness to Vinita through genuine connection, but Agastya, being a maths genius, refuses to accept it, not aligning with his calculations.

With the spice of mathematics in love, the narrative feels fresh and entertaining. But when the story explores different characters, it scatters the focus, yet it still manages to touch hearts through the beautiful mother-son bond. What makes it emotionally deep is that Agastya tries to find a perfect partner for his mother, Vinita, acknowledging her emotions. Agastya and Vinita’s bond is beautiful, and this seems to be a Gen-Z-inspired take that focuses not on the stereotypical idea of how a mother can find a partner again, but on what one can do for their mother’s happiness.

In conclusion, Maa Ka Sum,, directed by Nicholas Kharkongor,, feels fresh and emotionally rich,, though the focus scatters ,at times, but the main agenda always struck a chord. The beautiful bond between the mother-son duo instantly appeals, and the small turnings take viewers on a ride. It may not give you that impressive feeling, but it softly touches the heart, making it worth watching once.

IWMBuzz rates Maa Ka Sum 3.5 out of 5 stars.
