“Tu kisi rail si guzarti hai, main kisi pull sa thartharata hoon” – love is that simple, that organic and somehow, feels that inevitable. Though Masaan is widely known as a well-crafted perspective about life, death and everything in between; it is so gracefully centred around love, the kind that breaks every societal constraint. Deepak (Vicky Kaushal), a civil engineering student who, along with his family, earns a living by burning funeral pyres at Harishchandra Ghat. He falls in love with an upper caste girl from a well-to-do family, our poetry-lover, Shalu (Shweta Tripathi). His story gets interwoven with Devi (Richa Chadha), a trainer at a coaching centre, who is shown to travel far from her small town for the physical intimacy she craves with a man she likes; only to face a huge mishap and eventually be thrown back into the same complex society to fight and resist. “Paat na paya meetha paani, or-chhor ki doori re”, with even the holy waters of Ganga unable to bridge the gap, Masaan is essentially a journey through their respective heartbreaks. Moving towards a serene sangam, the film leaves us yearning for a new beginning for Deepak and Devi.
