Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur recalls the rocky start of his debut Masoom, when theatres were empty and distributors gave up, before it became a hit. The director recalls getting pity, and advice, from black marketers.
Jugal Hansraj recalled that during the shooting of Masoom, Shabana Azmi maintained her distance from him to authentically portray the on-screen tension between their characters.
Jugal Hansraj also recalled how Dharmendra was so impressed by his performance in Masoom that he went on to cast him as his on-screen son in several of his subsequent films.
Pointing to the hardships faced by most night school students, Shashikant Gawas from Masoom, an NGO working for night schools, suggested there needs to be a new policy that focuses on helping students perform better academically.
Bollywood may be rehashing old movies but veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah is not in the favour remakes and thinks it would be stupid to rework "Masoom".
From Lakdi ki kaathi in Masoom to the Mowgli theme song of The Jungle Book on Doordarshan,Gulzars association with childrens songs is very well-known.
