Neeraj Ghaywan"s "Masaan"meaning crematorium, is a multi-layered portrait of repression & rebellion set against the funeral pyres of a Varanasi cremation ghat. Neeraj Ghaywan, Debut director of Film Masaan, understands that Ganga river play an important role in the life of the people of India, who live near it's banks and has woven it intricately in his script..
The film depicts the story of children, Devi & Deepak. Devi (Richa Chadda) is caught in a situation where they is paying the cost of an indulgence with Piyush (Saurabh Chadhary) they was interested in. The are caught by the police in a hotel room & later Devi & her brother Vidyadhar Pathak (Sanjay Mishra), are blackmailed for money by Inspector Mishra (Bhagwan Tiwari).
Ghaywan's film moves slowly, occasionally tugging at your heart. It is accurately captured the urgency with which India's children from little towns discover Social Media, prohibited fruit & freedom.
Love Blossoms through Facebook & long phone conversations between poetry-loving Shalu Gupta (Shweta Tripathi) & a passionate, ambitious engineering student Deepak (Vicky Kaushal) from a low caste Dom relatives of corpse burners.They fear that the caste-system will divide them, they dream about a happy ending in the long run.
The performances of the whole cast including that of the child actor Nikhil Sahni are praiseworthy. The performance, direction, camera work all are outsanding.
