    Among the greatest films ever made.
    Hitchcock NEVER even came close to this level.
    WOW JUST WOW.
    One of the best thrillers I have ever seen. Definitely Top 10 material.

    Such trash. I knew walking into the theater that this will be propaganda-ish but I hugely underestimated the extent of propaganda and insensitivity.

    The film begins with a disclaimer (that fades out waaay before you could read) that all incidents in the film have been corroborated with real eyewitness testimonies. From the very start, the film's production feels fake and staged, right from the radio commentary of a cricket match that plays right at the beginning, to the fake-ass headshot…

    Masaan starts out with a scene of a woman watching porn. She then wears make-up, meets her lover, and erupts in a scene of passionate love making. As soon as the viewer might have formed an opinion on what type of film it is, the scene turns dark. Passion is destroyed, and the love, which adorned the frame gives way to death.

    Then the scene goes black, and the title rolls - Masaan, which means crematorium.

    Its a sharp reminder…
