Maska

Who decided to cast Manisha Koirala as Parsi mother? She's a great actress but just doesn't portray this roll well; every time she's on screen trying to say her dialogues in Parsi dialect it's totally off - my mind would just derail.

Other than reviving the memories of Irani cafes to those from Bombay who remember and grew up with them, this film does nothing. The plot is predictable. The pace is excruciatingly slow. The acting is mediocre (with the exception of Manisha Koirala, who nails it!).

Give this one a miss.

"Maska" is a sweet yet scattered sort of coming-of-age film that tries to combine the taste of the Parsi community in Mumbai with the universal quest of identification and dreams. Then it really broke down with the very effective and authentic performances by Manisha Koirala and Shirley Setia, who really brought great depth and authenticity to their roles. There is a visual appeal to the film, and the nostalgic ambiance does give it a comforting touch to make it an easy watch. However, for the most part, the storyline reads in most places as though it were predictable and just not layered enough to really work on the audience completely. While Prit Kamani does give an earnest performance as the lead, Rumi, at places, the writing makes him come across a tad one-dimensional, and the cliché screenplay does not hold much ground. Nonetheless, "Maska" offers a delightful-if highly formulaic-exploration of family, tradition, and the courage to pursue whatever it is one really wants.

No doubt it's a feel good movie.But somewhere it was lacking a bit of unstrategic delivery to the audience like you know in the movie like Runaway bride where it felt like everything happened suddenly and not planned. But ya I have never been to any Iranis cafe but now I am definitely gonna make a plan after Quarantine days.

Good story, nice screen play but poor acting of main characters. Manisha was quite good but didn't find good chemistry with other characters.
