Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Konterr Brilliant and touching

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

aiqbal-1 Masoom is indeed one of the best movies i have ever seen so far in my life. It has had the marvelous impact on the audience by its amazingly gripping story & by the stunning performances which all actors have had in this film specially Naseeruddin shah. He has,no doubt, played a role of his life in the movie & extracted the maximum from the demand of this role. The story has had a strong impact as it was very close to the natural emotions of a human. The scenes where Naseeruddin shah was telling his own story to his friend,change in mood of shabana azmi,& everything that film has got was absolutely perfect in all senses.I think the best part of the movie was its strong plot and the versatile performances by the artists.

rock_your_soul Over the last few years 'Bollywood' films have been given the coverage and exposure they deserve over here in the UK. Their rising popularity means that people who wouldnt have access to watching a bollyowood film, or would simply dismiss it as a foreign language film, therefore unwatchable, are now enjoying the magic and power of bollywood. Recently Channel 4 here in the UK have began to show bollywood films every few nights, and sometimes in the day. I have watched many of them, but Masoom is by far my favourite. On paper the storyline doesnt sound incredibly exciting or original, but what is on screen is purely amazing. The actors portray their characters with such knowledge and ability that you feel you are watching the family's home movie. The basic theme of this film to me seems to be the power of love. GK's love for Rahul battles against his love for the rest of his family. And it is Indu's love for GK, and her eventual love and respect for Rahul, that keeps the family from being torn apart. It is a film about strength, about having the strength to love someone no matter what they have done, Shabana Azmi's Indu is both fragile but incredibly strong and dignified. Naseerudin Shah plays GK with such courage, but also shows his weak side. This is a film that deeply effected me. The power of its central themes are amazing, and shows a side of Bollywood that is largely unheard of.

nakulkr Shekhar Kapoor shows the world how Indian movies could be. He doesn't break any of the basic rules. There are songs and there is melodrama, but Kapoor actually backs it up with a strong script and brilliant acting, which of course is to be expected with Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi in the cast. Jugal Hansraj and Urmila Matondkar are easily recognisable in their pint-sized selves. Pity Jugal Hansraj never got a decent part to play after this one..

nilanjan-2 Masoom is one of Shekhar Kapur's earliest directorial ventures.A re-make of Man, Woman and Child, this movie is as good as the original. Set in real-life New Delhi, this movie is a sensitive portrayal of a man and his family coming to terms with his illegitimate child. Shekhar's attention to the finer details that make up the background makes this film very life-like.Brilliant performances by Naseer, Shabana, Saeed and Jugal, this movie touches those strings that we tend to forget. A tear-jerker for some. Goose pimples for others. And a standing ovation for Shekhar.Dubbed as an 'artsy' movie, this film made more money than the multi-million rupee pot-boilers released that year.If you ask me I would call this Shekhar's best Hindi movie till Bandit Queen. A definite must see, even if it is sub-titled. A very good sound track accompanies this film.
