Mumbai, 6th April-2006…Pray, there is immeasurable power in
it! The last week of May brings divine blessings in the form of
the blockbuster-hit film “Jai Santoshi Maa” when it premieres
on Star Gold. A Vijay Sharma film starring- Anita Guha, Ashish Kumar,
Kanan Kaushal, Music composed by C. Arjun, lyrics by Pradeep, cinematography
by Sudhendu Roy, story by R. Priyadarshini, produced by Bhagyalakshmi
Chitra Mandir; Jai Santoshi Maa broke all records at the box office.
IN terms of return on investment, Jai Santoshi Maa remains the biggest
hit ever at the Indian box office. And it is currently in the news
for two reasons: the first ever satellite premiere of the movie
(on Star Gold), and the fact that it is being remade.
There have been innumerable films, which have proved that films
can have a big impact on society. But none of them can even come
close to the monumental 1975 hit, ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’.
The film almost brought to the limelight a new Goddess, leaving
everlasting impression on the Indian masses.
The music by C. Arjun was highly popular, especially the song,
"Main to aarti utaaru re, Santoshi Mata ki". The number
became the nation’s new anthem and even today, it’s heard
at all religious functions and ceremonies.
The film depicts hardships, tough times and sufferings can be overcome
by being tolerant, patient, enduring pain and lastly – worshipping
Goddess – “Santoshi Maa”.
And it can now be viewed by millions of Santoshi Maa bhakts, as
well as everyone else, as it will be premiered on Star Gold this
May.
Jap, Tap, Vrat- the three simple ways to attain Nirvana:

devoted wife and firm believer of “Santoshi Maa”. Her
dedication was put to test; in many ways…But it was her immense
faith in “Santoshi Maa” which helped her sail through
high tide every time.

“Santoshi Maa” has a unique way of bestowing blessings
upon the deserving devotees: not until she has put them through
an acid test.
