Masaan, which released in 2015, was a turning point in Indian indie cinema. It quietly made its mark with powerful storytelling and strong performances.

The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a standing ovation. It also won two major awards there.

Set in Varanasi, Masaan tells two parallel stories. One follows Devi, played by Richa Chadda, a young woman dealing with personal tragedy and social judgment. The other focuses on Deepak, played by Vicky Kaushal, a man who works at the cremation ghats but dreams of a better life. The film touched on deep themes like love, grief, caste, and hope, and was praised for portraying the real lives of people often left out of mainstream cinema.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Vicky was last seen in 'Chhaava,' which performed well at the box office. Looking ahead, Vicky is set to appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film 'Love and War' alongside Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor.

Can't believe it's been 10 years already! I remember watching Masaan in a small theater in Pune - the whole audience was silent during the climax. That's the power of good storytelling. Vicky has come such a long way since then!

While I appreciate Masaan's artistic merit, I feel the film was slightly overrated. The pacing was slow and some scenes felt repetitive. But no denying Vicky's talent - he stole every scene he was in!

The train scene with "Tu Kisi Rail Si" playing in the background still makes me emotional 😭 Such a beautiful portrayal of small-town India. We need more films like this that show our country's real stories, not just NRIs and rich families.

As someone who discovered Indian cinema through Masaan, this film holds special place in my heart. The ghat scenes were so atmospheric - felt like I was right there in Varanasi. Vicky's journey from this to mainstream stardom is inspiring!

Masaan was important for showing caste realities without being preachy. That scene where Deepak's father talks about education breaking barriers - so powerful! Though I wish Richa's character got more screen time in second half. #MoreWomenStories
