Maska

"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.

I have seen this a million times in the previous movies or TV show , very much predictable and nothing new to offer , lead characters were decent nothing new to offer .

Idk why people can't review movies at all on this website. This movie doesn't really have good direction, nor acting, ending was kinda pushed quick.

Overall it's supposed to be a feel-good movie but it's definitely one I would not put on my watch-again movies. Don't trust the 10 star rating reviews; they obviously don't know how to watch movies.

Maska does not live up to the hype that's surrounding it as a feel good movie... the constant overacting of the cast to portray the lifestyle of a Parsi family and it's dialect is quite a poor show... the storytelling is quite weak and let down by the lead actor, couldn't really differentiate between his acting as a bad actor inside the film and the film itself.

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.
