Bollywood does come up with a movie every now and then which is ahead of it's time. Directed by Shekhar Kapoor, Masoom is one of them. It delicately deals with the relationship between a couple and how their lives turn upside down when a dark secret is surfaced. The beautifully crafted layers, captivating performances by each cast member, well structured story and an excellent screenplay and intelligent direction with memorable soundtrack and heartfelt dialogues make this movie a classic. It was released at the time when commercial cinema was dominating in Bollywood but it made it's everlasting impression and has aged like a fine wine.
Every character is so well structured and written that when u watch it, you cant help but empathize with each one of them. The boy who lost his mother and is alone in this world hoping to meet his father someday, you cant help but fall in love with him. The husband, who is torn between his family and the kid trying his level best to compensate for his mistake. The wife whose perfect world is shattered to pieces when she finds out about her husband's infidelity, yet keeps the child at her home because she had no other choice and then coming into terms with it. Every character is etched so beautifully. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, it makes you emotional but never it gives you any reason to hate any of them.
A brilliant masterpiece which should be watched by every movie buff..
Highly recommended
