Zo-MAA-to celebrates Mother's Day with star-studded reminder film
The film begins with a light-hearted scene: a father films his daughter as he playfully chides her for missing Mother's Day. The mother embraces her daughter, soothing her with the words, "No worries, it's just Mother's Day." In a series of comic vignettes, one man mistakenly reminds another of the occasion over a misdialed phone call, while another character goes to the extreme of tattooing "12th May" on himself to ensure he won’t forget.
The content continues with a clip of "Chiku" hitting a cheeky 12 runs in a cricket match—a nod to Virat Kohli. It then cuts to Instagram star Arpit Bhala dressed as a quirky doctor and social media mogul Ranveer Allahbadia, aka Beer Biceps, humorously speculating if extraterrestrials honour their mothers.
Nana Patekar makes a memorable cameo, channelling his character from the movie "Welcome." The narrative wraps up with a final plea for viewers to mark their calendars via Zomato for Mother’s Day on May 12, 2024.
