Bollywood has always given importance to the role of mother. Bollywood portrayed the real Indian mothers with perfection. The love for the child, their sacrifices, their pain, everything they do. The epic dialogues from movies like; "Mere pas maa hai", "Agar maa ka doodh piya hai to samne aa", "Tumhari maa humare kabze me hain" shows the importance of mother in Bollywood. They can power up a heavily beaten up son, bring back the lost memories and even direct their son in times when he follows a wrong path.
