'Masaan': ReviewIndia's inexorable rise as a 21st century global power may be undeniable but it remains a country tethered to a past firmly marked by the caste system, class division and deeply ingrained religious beliefs.
Masaan | Un Certain Regard | 2015 | FilmuforiaDIrector: Neeraj Ghaywan Writer: Varun Grover| Neeraj Ghaywan MASAAN enchants Un Certain Regard audiences with a painterly modern love story set in the holy city of Benares (Varanasi). With his co-writer Varun Grover, Ghaywan creates a sure-footed character-driven debut that has all the intensity of a Bollywood drama but is told with a delicacy of touch similar to recent Indian dramas The Lunchbox and Udaan.- India's Masaan gets loud claps, but has little noveltyNeeraj Ghaywan's debut feature, Masaan (Burning Ghat) was introduced Tuesday afternoon to a packed auditorium at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival by no less than Thierry Fremaux, the top man at Cannes. And when the movie ended, there was indeed a long applause. There was similar appreciation for other films as well.

No Cannes do: Who has time for Richa Chaddha's Masaan when Sonam, Ash and Kat are peddling L'Oreal? - FirstpostEven as we devoted entire coffee breaks and dinners fiercely debating whether Sonam Kapoor's dress looked the more like a feather duster or an omelette, the makers of Masaan were preparing to screen Neeraj Ghaywan's debut film at the festival.

Gangs Of Wasseypur was my film school: Filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan on the making of MasaanFilmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan loves rickshaw rides, especially if they are driven by north Indian rikshawwallahs.

Although born to Maharshtrian parents and raised in Hyderabad, Ghaywan says that he is "dil se bhaiyya".Festival Tweets
