The Worst Film Ever

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I'm afraid I can't quite get all the love for this screenplay. The acting's fine, as is the cinematography, but the storyline is to my (albeit western) eyes implausible to say the least!I get that as a female Devi is regarded as something of a liability to her father. I understand that the birth of a boy in an Indian family is regarded as a joyful & jubilant occasion of celebration, ant that of a girl as a time of shame & commiseration. Then there's the issue of bride-price to be considered in marriage arrangements, an sometimes ruinous financial imposition on a girl's family. Having fallen on hard times, perhaps Pathak senior might feel resentful for the consequences of his daughter's impropriety & indiscretion. Even in a society still obsessed with pre-marital 'purity' as that depicted. It would only be a crime under the oppressive Sharia laws of fundamentalist Muslim jurisdictions. Hindu mysticism, by contrast, celebrates sexual athleticism and prowess.Therein lies my problem: fornication is not a crime in contemporary India. Not even within the somewhat conservative lower castes in Varanasi/Benares. The entire 'setup' by the corrupt officials beggars belief. Firstly, that she is accused of prostitution, a crime easily refuted. and secondly that she is threatened with abetting the suicide of her young lover. It was the police presence that was the primary, and indeed sole, reason for the silly boy's actions. He would've taken HOURS to bleed out if unattended. Wrist cutting is a slow, relatively inefficient means of suicide, and the overwhelming majority of attempts simply get it 'wrong' anyway. The blood supply to the hands is relatively feeble and slow. Sever perhaps a femoral or carotid artery, or even the jugular and you will likely bleed out in a minute or two. But even if successful in severing the wrist's radial or ulnar arteries, which is in fact protected by a cluster of tough, resilient sinews, and about the worst that will happen if unattended for some minutes is the eventual loss of the hand (a few weeks later) by tissue necrosis!Why not tell the cops where to go in such a ham-fisted and amateurish attempt at blackmail? Yes, I realise the real, actual threat was to the family's reputation rather than that implied by the spurious charge of abetting suicide. But as the screenplay implied, her 'reputation' actually followed her into her subsequent employment anyway. Loss of face perhaps, but that's all. We all must pay the price for our youthful waywardness and indiscretions.

I have never seen a movie quite like Masaan. The opening scene itself is horrifying and I was left flabbergasted after seeing what was transpiring on screen. None of it felt fake, the performances felt very real, so real that I rooted for the characters and wanted them to make it out of their ordeal.Richa Chaddha and Sanjay Mishra were insanely good. Vicky Kaushal and Shweta Tripathi also gave amazing performances and made a solid mark in their debut feature film.The backdrop of Benaras has its own character in the movie. They way its shot and how the story progresses, somehow it appeared as if the movie wouldn't have been this good without the city.Finally, the direction of Neeraj Ghaywan is outstanding and I hope to see more quality cinema such as this from him in the future.Final Verdict: 8.5/10 Another gem of Indian cinema of 2015, with brilliant and raw performances. It would be a crime to ignore it. There is a moderately graphic sex scene in the beginning, otherwise it can be seen with family.

I don't have to explain why you should watch this movie. There are so many aspect of this movie which will touch you. Reality, true cinematography, story acting. People from Banaras, Allahabad, UP will feel more touched due to so many reality scene shot on true spots. For some people it may be a little sad and heart touching movie, but rest assure, it will leave a mark in your memories.Perfect and right actors choose, like super Sanjay Mishra, Richa Chadda etc. To really enjoy this movie, watch it undisturbed, end to end, without chit chat, I am saying this because you need to connect to the move and very light emotional plots, which you will miss in small chit chat.

Very Nice Movie. The movie is simple but have very good story, actually stories. Both small stories in this movie giving right massage as per its name.I believe such movies improves will power to fight the life.I am the one and I hope people prefers such movies over other actor's name based movies. I never found anything with one anyone can learn anything from Shahruk, Salman or Amir khan's movie other than entertainment. But such movies always teach us something.Good work by Movie team. It seems movie writer put effort and do research to write any story.
