Masoom
Movie
8.4/10on IMDb
Released
A child's arrival makes the family's existing affections difficult to distribute fairly. Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah let adult discomfort remain visible beside the children's needs. The film's tenderness matters because the household cannot resolve its conflict simply by deciding to be kind.

Caregiving is made of repeated arguments, practical routines and attention that nobody can permanently withdraw. Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan make that dependence funny and tiring together. The family's affection feels credible because irritation has not been edited out of it.

Everybody in the household can explain why somebody else makes life difficult. The ensemble's timing turns those grievances into a recognisable domestic rhythm. The visitor's intervention works as a warm comic fantasy about changing habits rather than simply assigning blame to one bad relative.
