Vicky Kaushal rose to fame with his impeccable role in Masaan. The film also marked Vicky's debut in Bollywood in 2015. Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, Masaan was well-received by the audience and was also critically-acclaimed. Masaan cast includes actors Richa Chadha, Shweta Tripathi, and Sanjay Mishra among others.

Meanwhile, Richa Chadha recently spoke to an entertainment portal and said that she thought Masaan was a really brave film and that it reflected the reality of India. Talking about people in smaller towns, Chadha said that they are torn between very traditional societal norms and people around them. Expressing about why she wanted to do the film, the actor continued that Masaan dealt with things like caste and so it sounded very interesting to her.

Moreover, the plot of Masaan is set around India's holy river, Ganga, where four people with a strict moral code, face prejudice. The award-winning film follows two heart-breaking tales. The movie is about how Deepak (Vicky) falls in love with an upper-caste girl, Devi (Richa) and welcomes turbulence. However, the fear of the caste system does not deter the duo from embracing love.

On May 19, 2015, Masaan premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes film festival and won two awards. Masaan and its whole team got a 5-minute standing ovation after the movie's premiere in Cannes. Apart from this, the film has won numerous accolades. 

Even though Masaan churned average numbers at the box office, the actors' performances were lauded by fans. The music is composed by the Indian band, The Indian Ocean, and the songs of the movie are written by Varun Grover. Some of the numbers like Tu Kisi Rail Si, Mann Kasturi among others managed to strike the right chord.
