Maska Film Story:

Believing in the adage "Success comes to those who dare to dream", a confused, young millennial sets out on a desperate journey to fulfil his fantasy of becoming a movie star until a summer romance with a clear-headed girl helps him discover the fine line between dreams and delusions.

Maska Movie Review:

Maska is a feel-good film that brings two of the most loved stars of Bollywood - Manisha Koirala and Jaaved Jaaferi - together. They bear the burden of the entire film and make it palatable.

From sharing Maggi with your friends to smoking away with your colleagues to destress, an adda is a sanctuary for most of us. Neeraj Udhwani's Maska is the story of one such adda caught between two generations - one that considers it an essential part of its legacy, and the other, for whom it is nothing more than bricks and mortar.

Our protagonist in the Netflix film is Rumi Irani (Prit Kamani), who has inherited the gift of cooking along with a cafe called Cafe Rustom, from his Iranian ancestors. The cafe is adda for many oldies in the area, who have grown attached to it over the years.

Rumi, however, has no interest in running the cafe as he wants to become an actor. His mother Diana Irani (Manisha Koirala) tries to talk him into it, but he is stubborn and there is nothing she can do about it.

After this, the film strolls on an obvious path and concludes on a very predictable note. And yes, there is a ghost from the past too, the most refreshing part of the film, if you ask us.

Maska brings two of the most loved stars of Bollywood - Manisha Koirala and Jaaved Jaaferi - together. Every time Manisha smiles on screen or gets angry with her hopeless son, you sit up and take note. She has portrayed the role of a stout Parsi woman with much ease in the film.

Jaaved, on the other hand, has continued to charm us with his warm presence in Maska. Though his screen time is limited, he doesn't miss a single opportunity to make us laugh in those few minutes. However, among the young actors - Prit Kamani, Shirley Setia and Nikita Dutta - only Nikita stands out. Rest are easily forgettable.

Gulabo Sitabo Film Story:

Fatima Mahal is at the centre of a long feud between its owner’s husband Mirza (Amitabh Bachchan) and their stubborn tenant Baankey Rastogi (Ayushmann Khurrana). But there are other players involved in this rat race and everyone’s in it for their own vested interest.

Gulabo Sitabo Movie Review:

Located in Lucknow, the 100-year-old mansion Fatima Mahal is in shambles and close to ruination, and home to multiple families who pay a measly rent ranging from 30-70 rupees. But there is just one ‘pest’ who neither leaves nor pays the rent on time—Baankey. Of all the people who are tired of his go-to excuse, “Main gareeb hoon,” Mirza is the angriest of all. This 78-year-old abuse-hurling, prank-pulling man harbours only one dream his whole life, that of becoming the legal owner of the mansion he dearly loves and lives in. And, from time to time, he devices scheming ways of achieving his unfulfilled desire. When all else fails to get the chakki-selling Baankey to leave after he breaks the brick wall of the common toilet, a huffing-puffing Mirza rushes off to the police station to settle the raging dispute.

In comes the officer of Archaeological Survey of India (Lucknow Circle), Mr. Gyanesh Mishra (Vijay Raaz). This conniving bully of a public servant senses that the dilapidated haveli has the potential to become a national heritage property (or maybe not) and convinces Baankey how this plan will work best for him and the other tenants. But Mirza is no fool and is quick to launch his own secret weapon, Christopher Clark (Brijendra Kala). Clark only “speaks English at home” and boasts of a repertoire dedicated to resolving property woes. The mansion is now mayhem personified and everyone’s hankering after one thing or the other. Why is this sprawling, ageing piece of property more important than those who inhabit it? Shoojit Sircar’s ‘Gulabo Sitabo’ is a social commentary, a satire on the psyche of mankind and how when greed serves as a guiding force in your life — it can take you to strange places.

Three-time National Award winner Abhik Mukhopadhyay takes charge behind the camera, with almost every other frame reeking of Lucknow’s old-world charm –its decaying but beautiful mansions, tuk-tuks and cycle rickshaws running across the narrow lanes of the city. His camera says to you as it takes you through the city, 'Muskuraiye ki aap Lucknow mein hain'.
