Masoom, you might remember this cult classic Hindi film from the 80s. But Hotstar is bringing a new series on a similar foundation but with an entirely new story.
A few days back, Binged reported the trailer launch of Hotstar’s new series Masoom and makers have launched a scene from it. The entire clip which is 2:40 Minutes long reveals a lot about the characters present in it.
With Boman Irani, the scene features Samara Tijori, Manjari Fadnnis and Veer Rajwant Singh.
This scene says a lot about how the series is going to be. An authoritative and mysterious father, a rebellious young daughter, his docile elder sister and a brother who doesn’t seem to be very talkative.
The scene is shot on a table where the family of four is supposed to have a meal. The younger daughter questions where the father had been and declares him a liar.
It is then that we get introduced to the layers of the characters.
Our perception of family films is immensely shaped by Suraj Barjatya films which are too ideal to be true. Thus anything which presents a more realistic side of a family seems a little odd to us.
This is the same reason people had a hard time understanding Gehraiyaan.
Regardless, Masoom is a remake of the Irish series “Blood” which will stream from 17th June.
Till then we can only hope for the best and you can stay tuned with us for all updates from the Indian OTT.
