Jai Santoshi Maa is a 1975 Indian Hindi-language devotional film directed by Vijay Sharma and written R. Priyadarshi. Santoshī Mā (also called Santoshi Mata) is the goddess of satisfaction. Usha Mangeshkar, sang the devotional songs for the film along with Mahendra Kapoor and the famous poet Kavi Pradeep, who wrote the song' lyrics. Made on a low-budget, the film became one of the most successful films at the box office.[2]
The film opens in the Devaloka, where we witness the "birth" of Goddess Santoshi Mata as the daughter of Ganesha, the elephant headed god of good beginnings, his two wives Riddhi and Siddhi ("prosperity" and "spiritual power"), and as the sister of Kshema and Labha ("prosperity" and "profit"). Although, Ganesha has another wife Buddhi ("wisdom"), she is not portrayed in the film.
A key role is played by the immortal sage Narada, a devotee of Vishnu, and a cosmic busybody who regularly intervenes to advance the film's two parallel plots, which concern both human beings and gods.
Through the Mother's grace, Satyavati soon falls in love with Brijmohan aka Birju, the youngest of seven brothers in a prosperous Bias Brahmin farmer family, an artistic man, with a talent for singing. Alas, with the boy come the in-laws, and two of Birju's six sisters-in-law, Durga and Maya are jealous shrews who have it in for him and Satyavati from the beginning. To make matters worse, Narada "stirs up" the "jealousy" of the three principal goddesses, Lakshmi, Parvati, and Saraswati against the "upstart" goddess Santoshi Mata. They decide to examine (pariksha) her perseverance or faith (Shraddha) by making life miserable for her chief devotee. Of course, this is all just a charade and the holy goddesses are just acting as if they are jealous of Santoshi Mata to test Satyavati's devotion.
After a fight with his relatives, Birju leaves home to seek his fortune, narrowly escaping a watery grave (planned for him by the goddesses) through his wife's devotion to Santoshi Mata. Nevertheless, the divine ladies convince his family that he is indeed dead, adding the stigma of widowhood to Satyavati's other woes. Her sisters-in-law treat her like a slave, beat and starve her, and a local rogue attempts to rape her; Santoshi Mata rescues her several times. Eventually, Satyavati is driven to attempt suicide, but is stopped by Narada, who tells her about the sixteen-Fridays fast in honour of Santoshi Mata, which can grant any wish. Satyavati completes it with great difficulty and more divine assistance, and just in the nick of time: for the now-prosperous Birju, stricken with amnesia by the goddesses and living in a distant place, has fallen in love with a rich merchant's daughter. Through Santoshi Mata's grace, he gets his memory back and returns home laden with wealth. When he discovers the awful treatment given to his wife, he builds a palatial home for the two of them, complete with an in-house temple to the Holy Mother. Satyavati plans a grand ceremony upon the completion of her fast and invites her in-laws. But the celestials and sadistic sisters-in-law make a last-ditch effort to ruin her by squeezing lime juice into one of the dishes (the rules of Santoshi Mata's fast forbid eating, or serving, any sour or bitter food). All hell breaks loose, before peace is finally restored, on earth as it is in heaven, and a new deity is triumphantly welcomed to the pantheon, as Lakshmi, Saraswati and Parvati have been convinced of Satyavati's devotion.

The music is given by A. R. Rahman, while the lyrics were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and Javed Akhtar. The song Kay Sera Sera is based on "Kadhal Niagara" from En Swasa Kaatre. Rahman reused the song "Oh Bosnia" as "Ek Tu Hi Bharosa"[citation needed]. The song was composed and performed by Rahman in his Malaysian concert in 1996 that was in aid of Bosnian victims. The piano was played by Rahman himself. "Hai Jaana" has two parts within the film version and soundtrack version. The song "Sunta Hai Mera Khuda" was shot at Arches National Park in Utah, United States. The song " Kismat Se Tum Humko Mile Ho" was shot at Mount Marcus Baker in Alaska, United States.

News agency PTI quoted AR Rahman saying, "They have not seen the film, they have assumed the trailer is taking sides... People have stopped trusting filmmakers because filmmakers are taking sides. Unfortunately... So, he (Santoshi) is the victim," he added.
Rajkumar Santoshi recently wrote a letter to Mumbai Police seeking additional protection for himself and his family. He said he received threats from unknown people who asked him to halt the film release and promotional activities.
He further talked about not paying heed to the boycott trends on social media and cited an example of Shah Rukh Khan's just released film Pathaan, which recorded massive business on the opening day despite controversy over its song Besharam Rang. Gandhi Godse will clash with Pathaan at the box office as it will hit the screens on Thursday.
Gandhi Godse: Ek Yudh is set in early post-independence India of 1947-48, in an alternate version of Indian history where Mahatma Gandhi survives the assassination attempt by Nathuram Godse. It follows an interesting debate between Gandhi and Godse after they meet in a prison.
