A mother is the central character in everyone’s life. She is the one who moulds her entire family, helping her kids chase their dreams and live their passion. In the process, a mother often leaves behind her own dreams getting engaged in the struggle of the daily routine, eventually finding happiness in the success of her family. This real life story of almost every mother was showcased in the film ‘Maa Ka Sapna’. The story unfolds with the children realizing the struggle and sacrifices of their mother, further helping her relive her dreams. The radio feature film was Big FM’s way of paying an ode to the mothers by enlightening the listeners about the equal importance of her passion.

Speaking on the radio feature film Big FM spokesperson said, “Our previous feature film ‘Maa Ke Aanchal Mein’ for Mother’s day received a positive response from the listeners. It further strengthened our belief in the concept, based on which we came up with yet another informative theme for this year’s Mother’s Day. ‘Maa Ka Sapna’ is a film which helps listeners realize the sacrifices made by a mother, and educate them to give equal importance to a mother’s dream. As a radio network, with our strong reach our aim was to spread this message far and celebrate Mother’s Day by paying tribute to mothers on a larger scale.”
