Masoom is one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated family dramas. Directed by Shekhar Kapur and inspired by Erich Segal’s novel Man, Woman and Child, the film explored themes of love, guilt, forgiveness and acceptance with remarkable emotional depth. The film featured powerful performances from Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi, Saeed Jaffrey, Tanuja, Jugal Hansraj and a young Urmila Matondkar. Beyond its storytelling, Masoom also became unforgettable for its timeless soundtrack composed by R.D. Burman, with songs such as Lakdi Ki Kathi, Tujhse Naraz Nahi Zindagi and Huzur Is Kadar continuing to remain popular across generations.
