Manisha
Koirala-starrer,
Netflix
film
Maska
was
dropped
by
the
streaming
giant
yesterday,
and
fans
have
mixed
feelings
about
it.
While
some
netizens
were
all
praises
for
Shirley
Setia's
film
debut,
others
were
not
impressed
by
other
performances.
The
slice-of-life
film,
directed
by
Neeraj
Udhwani,
revolves
around
the
story
of
a
young
Parsi
man
Rumi
Irani
(Prit
Kamani),
whose
single
mother
Diana
(Manisha
Koirala)
expects
him
to
follow
in
his
late
father's
footsteps
and
take
over
the
family
business
in
South
Mumbai.
But
Rumi
has
other
plans
for
his
life,
he
plans
to
make
it
big
as
an
actor
in
Bollywood
and
chooses
to
sell
his
cafe.
The
film
is
supposed
to
be
a
fun
watch
in
such
trying
times.
Dwelling
in
comedy
and
drama,
the
film
also
stars,
Nikita,
Shirley
Setia,
Jaaved
Jaffrey,
and
Boman
Irani.
The
film
also
marks,
Manisha
Koirala's
digital
debut,
but
fans
were
not
impressed
with
the
performances.
While
many
Twitter
users
called
the
film
a
feel-good
movie,
another
tweeted,
"discovered
even
Manisha
Koirala
can
be
a
terrible
actor."
Take
a
look
at
the
Twitter
review
of
the
Netflix
film,
#Maska
on
@netflix
is
an
unconventional
story
which
touches
the
right
cords
in
unexpected
ways.
Seeing
@mkoirala
back
on
screen
is
always
a
delight,
@jaavedjaaferi
shines
in
any
role
as
always
and
we
see
a
new
rising
star
in
@ShirleySetia.
This
one
is
definitely
worth
your
time.
The
film's
trailer
starts
with
Javed
Jaffrey's
voice-over,
who
plays
Rumi's
dead
father.
Rumi's
mother
Diana
hopes
that
their
son
also
grows
up
to
become
a
maskawala,
but
he
announces
that
he
wishes
to
become
an
actor.
Born
into
the
legacy
of
the
oldest
Irani
Cafe
in
Mumbai,
he
has
a
difficult
choice
to
make.
He
can
either
fulfil
his
dream
of
becoming
an
actor
by
selling
the
cafe
or
carry
the
lineage
of
the
Rustom
Cafe
and
give
up
on
becoming
an
actor.
