Maaman movie review: Despite its intriguing premise, the film’s treatment of familial issues and societal stereotypes is disappointing, making it an underwhelming experience overall. Maaman: What is the story? Maaman (Uncle) sees Soori play Uncle Inba to his nephew Nilan aka Laddu (Prateesh Sivan). Inba’s married sister Girija (Swasika) has prayed for years for a child and after a decade, she is blessed with Nilan whom the entire family dotes over.
