Yesterday I watched Pushpa 2 and realised that there are a lot of similarities between Pushpa Raj and Maa ka Raj... In the movie Pushpa was a sandalwood smuggler who was razing down forests and the police was out to catch him, but the movie presented us as if Pushpa was the hero and the police was a villain for hunting this beloved man. In Anupamaa Maa does all the objectionable things ( the list is already well known), but Maa is the heroine and anyone who calls her out, her actions and her phavourite Shah Parivaar is the culprit.
In between all the smuggling, hijacking an entire city to a halt, buying MLAs to change the CM, Pushpa also fights for some social issues like eve teasing, misbehavior with young girls etc. He is also a family man and his team of young enthusiastic smugglers are also not bad people - they celebrate festivals, help Pushpa fight goons when they try to strip off girls in public. In real life this may not be possible as any man who is into illegal activities will need dubious people and it is highly unlikely that dubious people will do morally correct things... In Maa ka Raj, the lead character is also like that. She fights for innumerable women empowerment social causes like financial independence of women, oppressed women, while being emotionally, metally dependent on her abusers to nauseating levels. In real life again unless a person has found his / her own footing it is highly unlikely that they can become a voice for someone...
Pushpa is loved by the entire village, he becomes rich and powerful, he gets married and has a family of his own, but the one thing that he yearns for the most is to be accepted by his Parivaar who had left him calling him 'Najayas'. The only time he breaks down in during the end of the movie when his brother comes to accept him. Aur Maa ka parivaar prem toh hum sab jaante hi hain.. 
Maa also got married, in a way became rich and powerful but the only thing that she yearned for was to be accepted by a house whose members called her characterless and flipped on her as per convenience and greed.
The only difference I can think of was that Pushpa at least had a style, Anupamaa ka toh rehne hi do.. Moreover Pushpa was in control of both - his team and the world outside... Maa only controls the outside world. At home she is a puppet of the same people she has nurtured. Here she is controlled while loving to wear a facade of being the supreme in charge.
Pushpa at least never played victim and got what he wanted by hook or crook or strength. Maa played victim at every possible point and she also got what she wanted (i.e being at the holy feet of he Shah Parivar) by hook and crook or tears. He had a sharp mind and he applied it. Maa has no brain. She knows hypocricy and she applies that... 
Pushpa kept his spouse and mother happy. Maa kept her spouse and her mother so unhappy that one fine day they died without a trace. Pushpa always gave his wife that 
--- even between the important syndicate meetings, where they had to discuss critical smuggling routes. Maa also gave Kapadia that ---- but only after both solved critical Shah House domestic issues.
