Review: Masaan - Splendid little cinematic gem

For Devi's father, Vidyadhar Pathak (Sanjay Mishra), former Sanskrit scholar who now makes a living on one of the many ghats by selling stuff for post-cremation rituals, raising 300,000 rupees to hush up the case is no easy task. It forces the old man to resort to desperate measures that put the well-being of Jhonta (Nikhil Sahni), the orphan boy who works for him, in serious jeopardy.
