Why it's at number 15
The gentlest film about caste and shame ever made in Hindi. Its last shot is a small act of mercy.
Two lives on the Varanasi ghats: a girl shamed by a phone video, a boy from a cremation caste who falls in love upward. Won two prizes at Cannes.
Masaan sits in the 2010s alongside Gangs of Wasseypur and Haider — a decade this canon treats as formative.
