Masaan the movie starring Richa Chadda, Vicky Kaushal, Sanjay Mishra and Shweta Tripathi, has after all managed to impress the desi audience as well!
Quite an achievement for debutant director Neeraj Ghaywan!
Presently, Masaan is one of the most-talked about movies in the critical circles.
Set in Varanasi, Masaan basically tells two separate stories of Devi Pathak (Richa Chadda) and Deepak Chaudhary (Vicky Kaushal). Devi, who is a student, falls for a guy of her class. Everything goes well until she is caught red-handed with a fellow student in a shady hotel by inspector Mishra (Bhagwan Tiwari) and her life changes after that.
On the other hand, Deepak, who earns his living by working on the ghats of Ganga falls in love with Shaalu (Shweta Tripathi) belonging to the upper class. Their love is against the norms of the society. How Devi and Deepak get out of their respective miseries forms the rest of the story.
Richa Chadda has received tremendous response for her act and has won many hearts. All the famous websites have given their reviews on movie with maximum 4 stars which is very impressive. Seems like this would be one of the most-loved movie this year.
The B-town fraternity too is full of  praise for Masaan. Twitter is flooded with admiration to Masaan team…
