Maska

Movie Review
Film- Maska
Director- Neeraj Udhwani
Genre- Family drama

What a beautiful movie! 
Makes me want to go to an Iranian Cafe and have their bun-maska and chai. I love Iranian cafes, they have such a quaint nostalgic feel to them. Their decor, the tables and chairs, table cloths, their typical menus and menu cards kept under their glass table tops.... all are so unique.

This story is about the tradition and story behind these cafes and what makes them so special. This movie brought back memories of my visit to these cafes.I love the food in these cafes. These cafes are all heart and no showbaazi. 

This movie is about stories that make each one of us special. It's about finding out Ikigai, our true calling. It's about what really matters. It's about bonds that are worth more than any thing superficial. It's about relationships and how we need to nurture them. It's about traditions that need to be kept alive. It's a movie that brings a smile. 

The two senior actors Manisha Koirala and Jaaved Jaaferi steal the show without any doubt. The younger actors fail to impress. Manisha is endearing as the Parsee Bawi and is supported by the  versatile Jaaved Jaaferi who has a small but defining role as her better half.

Do watch this simple but beautiful movie. Then, when things get back to normal again, do go to an Iranian cafe and have their special bun-maska and chai. Remember me when you do. :)
