Since his bank's boss doesn't approve and encourage his writing, he quits the job and starts going from one publisher to the other to get his works published. Even though he works as a small-town bank clerk, he always nurtures and harbours the dreams of moving to Delhi and becoming a famous author. MASTRAM is about yesteryear's one such writer in northern India named Rajaram Vishram aka Hans. Strange but true, one such unconventional but well paying job was the art of writing porn! If interested, find some old copies of Mastram instead.In today's world where everything is available at a mere press of a button, many of us have forgotten as to how the bygone era was and what all were the means of livelihood that they had adopted as a career. The film does offer bits of humour, even if below-the-belt.īut do you really want to go to the theatres to watch a film that doesn't add up to anything worthwhile? I would suggest not. Rahul Bagga and Tara Berry are convincing for most of their parts in the movie. There are, nonetheless, a few high points in the film. He is happy that he has fodder for one more Mastram story. The protagonist, who is supposed to be a 'clean' writer, is forced to write porn when he sees his wife having sex with his friend. The developments in Rajaram aka Mastram's life are too abrupt to develop any emotional connect with the audience.Īnother sore point is the stereotypical objectification of women in the movie as mere sex objects. Secondly, Mastram also lets down people looking forward to watch the life of a writer like Mastram. The film doesn't even cater to people looking for the relieving Mastram era of 1980s.
Not enough to qualify for an erotica.Įven in the most hard-hitting story of Mastram, the one where he talks about his own wife's sexual adventures, all you see is a messy Tara Alisha Berry (Rajaram's wife) mixing sex with cooking in a fling with her husband's friend.
There is some skin show, stripping and heaving that you are subjected to, but there's only so much. The movie falls short of an erotica (or porn, whichever term you prefer) you can enjoy. First of all, all fans of Mastram planning a nostalgic visit to the theatres will be disappointed.
