Masoom

Intense series from start. Sinister shadow lurks from scene 1. Samara Tijori has done fabulous for her 1st main show. Mr. Irani is as always ...spot on! In fact he has been most effective while he is subtle in the role

Best is the poetry.... absolute pleasure to hear the depth, with a soulful music.

The story of a.family driven apart due to miscommunications. It has layers of complexities. The casting is superb and so is the cinematography. Samara Tijori plays her maiden role with aplomb. Gripping narrative. Short and effective series.

What an incredible show! It's not for the faint of heart, and definitely not for lazy viewing. You can't miss a moment.

The story delves into the depths of mental illness and trauma and the humanness of evil, among other things. It holds a mirror to your soul and makes you confront ugly and uncomfortable truths that most of us would rather keep untouched. Some aspects of the show definitely made me very uncomfortable - and I love that because it's very real. This show builds mystery very skillfully and as it all unfolds, things get murkier and darker and the show does absolute justice to the build-up.

The supreme skill with which this show has been written shows in how effortlessly it blurs the line between real life and fiction. I would love to believe that these things could never actually happen, but given the right set of circumstances, it's not even improbable. Boman Irani's incredible acting skill has been utilised spectacularly and Samara Tijori seems to be a promising prospect. Manjari Fadnnis delivered a pretty good performance as well.

Kudos to the direction, editing, and production teams - it really couldn't have been made better!

Masoom is a mystery show directed by mihir desai. These are the positives and negatives.

Boman irani as balraj kapoor has given an outstanding performance. The character is grey, it has different shades and he portrays them all. Samara tijori is a talented prospect. As sana, she delivers her goods. She portrays a depressed character ailing from familial tensions. Upasana singh has done all types of comic roles but given a serious character she pulls it with ease. Specially in the last episode she acts to her credentials. Manjari faddnis and other co-actors do a good job. Basically everyone has a tense life.

The writing is pretty good actually. The characters are etched out really well. Everyone is going through a turmoil and everyone being good actors do a very good job. Its a slow burn so if you expect some adrenaline rush you are signing in for a wrong ride. It builds up its characters, its world, its atmosphere and then unfolds the mystery. The screenplay is slow but never gets boring. It never feels stretched.

The music and background score is exceptionally good. The punjabi songs are created with so much care and melody. It fits the world and gives you a good time. The bgm is very different from what we hear usually these days. A very sad, mystic undertone is played which gives a very eerie vibe to the show. There is some punjabi poetry as well. I am not a punjabi but its so well written that i don't feel alien to the language. I am anyway a sucker for good poetry irrespective of language.

The cinematography is excellent. The shots have such a rustic feeling. It almost feels pale, the world. The colour changes so brilliantly when the sequence shifts from present to when the mother was alive. From a yellow shade it turns to something we can call heavenly brown. Also it has set up a base for a second season as well.

Masoom is a must watch. If you liked tabbar you would definitely like this. I rate it 10 out of 10.

Yesterday watched Salt City and Today Masoom, wow! What a weekend. Should I talk about story line, beautiful cinematography, excellent songs and poetry, exceptional acting skill of Boman Irani and Upasna Singh or good debut by Samara Tijori? I have no words to praise them. I must say Upasna Singh's acting is a surprise element. Must watch and good Punjabi based webseries after Tabber.
