DocuBay brings an inspiring tale from Jammu & Kashmir to global audiences
Mumbai, August 28, 2025: DocuBay, India’s leading platform for premium non-fiction documentaries and part of the IN10 Media Network, has premiered its much-awaited original documentary, Operation Maa, now streaming exclusively on the platform.
The film, which generated strong anticipation following its trailer earlier this month, sheds light on a remarkable initiative in Jammu & Kashmir that encouraged local militants to lay down arms and reunite with their families. Rooted in the enduring bond between a mother and her child, Operation Maa brings to screen real-life accounts of young men offered a second chance at life, and the extraordinary individuals who helped make it possible.
Ahead of the release, DocuBay hosted a special preview screening in New Delhi on August 22, attended by senior Army officers. The event drew an emotional response, with many describing the film as a powerful reminder of the human side of service. One officer noted: “Operation Maa is more than just a story. It is a reminder that compassion, when combined with courage, has the power to change destinies.”
Commenting on the launch, Aditya Pittie, Managing Director, IN10 Media Network, said: “With Operation Maa, we bring forth a story that is not only rooted in the Valley but also in the conscience of our nation. At DocuBay, our commitment is to present narratives that inspire hope, unity, and emotional liberation. We are proud to share this story with audiences worldwide.”
Samar Khan, Chief Content Officer, DocuBay, added: “The documentary is an honest portrayal of humanity in the most unexpected circumstances. The Delhi preview showed us how deeply this story connects with people, and we are humbled to present it to the world today.”
The initiative itself was spearheaded by Lt. Gen. K.J.S. Dhillon (Retd.), whose efforts inspired the documentary. Reflecting on the mission, he said: “When we initiated ‘Operation Maa,’ our mission was simple—to bring our boys back home to their mothers. This documentary captures that journey with honesty and heart. No weapon can ever match the strength of a mother’s love.”
Now streaming worldwide on DocuBay, Operation Maa offers a deeply moving and unforgettable portrayal of humanity, second chances, and the transformative power of compassion.
