When Shekhar Kapur asked what he meant, the officer’s answer was simple yet profound: “They don’t make films from the heart anymore. The stories don’t mean anything now. The songs are meaningless. Moments later, another passenger joined in, humming another tune from the film. “This one’s my favourite,” he said. “When are you making Masoom 2?” “Soon,” Shekhar Kapur smiled. “How do you know about it?”

“Everyone knows, It’s all over media, Sir. Jaldi banaiye, please!” came the enthusiastic response. The heartfelt exchange left the filmmaker reflective, a reminder that some stories transcend generations.

Masoom redefined emotional storytelling in Indian cinema, Shekhar Kapur is ready to revisit that world with Masoom: The Next Generation. The film will explore themes of innocence, family, and love through a modern lens, with Shekhar Kapur’s daughter, Kaveri Kapur, set to play a central role. As nostalgia and anticipation build, audiences can once again expect a story straight from the heart, the kind Shekhar Kapur’s cinema has always celebrated.

Marathi films have been exploring various content heavy subjects and Dr Salil Kulkarni takes it forward. Ekda Kay Zal explores family bonds and father-son relationship and takes it to another level. Kiran (Sumeet Raghavan) is running a school of a different kind. In the school, Nandanvan, in Pune, children are taught various subjects through storytelling and the use of theatre.  He has support of his family which includes his wife Shruti (Urmila Kanetkar Kothare), little son, Chintan (Child artiste Arjun Purnapatre), father (Mohan Agashe) and mother (Suhas Joshi). His father was a reputed publisher but supports his son’s endeavour. Kiran tells one story every month through skits which allows students to understand subjects easily. He has bigger plans of expansion like to own an amphitheatre and gets assurance from the same from a Cultural minister Avinash Patil (Hrishikesh Deshpande). Meanwhile, Kiran’s friend, Jay (Pushkar Shrotri), uploads videos of Kiran’s storytelling and plays, which garners support from the public. But soon thereafter, Kiran is diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. Although his treatment begins, Kiran feels depressed. What happens to Chintan, who is entirely dependent on his father, forms the crux of narration.

Dr Salil Kulkarni has kept everything simple here and that makes it more impactful. The dialogues are appealing and he has interspersed light humour to keep the proceedings not too heavy. The drama holds the audience’s attention and keeps them engrossed. But things slow down a bit after Kiran is diagnosed with leukaemia. Dr Kulkarni, being a medico himself, has shown medical processes and happening with authenticity. Music and lyrics are helpful to the narration. The movie scores high in acting department. Sumeet Raghavan is always a treat to watch while performing. The ease in his acting is marvellous. He has shown variety of emotions which makes his role humane. Mohan Agashe, Suhas Joshi, Urmila Kanetkar, Pushkar Shrotri are very good. The child actor Arjun Purnapatre impresses with his innocent portrayal.

Ekda Kay Zal is a slice of life film and will be liked by all generations.

An excited Samara shared, “My experience working with Boman sir was honestly the best. I was super excited when I got to know that he is playing my father and I was just really really excited because I knew that he is the school in himself. I mean you just work with him and you will pick up things as an actor, you will learn things just by watching and probably being around him because he is knowledgeable. He is somebody who encourages you, he pushes you and I think that something is very important when you have a newcomer like me who is there and who is looking up to you for guidance and I didn’t feel pressured at all to sort of work with him or anything. Honestly it was just a lot of excitement.”

She also said, “I was nervous to play a character because I didn’t know if I could do justice to it. I was trying to be sure but while working and while shooting, I think Boman Sir just helped me add so many things to my character and after a certain point everything was just so real while we shot. Because he was so real and honest, I think it’s the best experience of my life and the bond I built with him I don’t think I can ever let go of.”
