Amidst this quarantine period, we have been supported by various OTT platforms for our entertainment. Netflix released their own movie, 'Maska' starring Manisha Koirala, Prit Kamani, Shirley Setia, Nikita Dutta and Jaaved Jaafri! 'Maska' follows a basic premise of a Mother-Son relationship explored through dreams and the age-old family cafe 'The Rustom Cafe'.
What's Good: Acting: It is such a delight to watch the beautiful and super talented Manisha Koirala onscreen. She is absolutely delightful. Prit is great as Rumi. Nikita is terrific as Mallika. It is Shirley Setia who as Persis is inconsistent as a Parsi girl. Plot: The plot is absolutely simple, straight forward and adorable. Simplicity is Charming. Technicalities: The technicalities are good and decently done.
What's Bad: Second-Second Half: The last 20 minutes of the movie is a bit of a letdown but can be overlooked considering the journey it takes!
Final Word: 'Maska' comes close to being the next 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' but falls short but is nonetheless a delightful and amazing watch! It is probably the better takes on a Mother-Son relationship and should not be missed! I rate 'Maska' 3.5 stars! Watch it and make you quarantine worthwhile!
We will try to review it
