Masaan (2015) is an Indian drama film that tells the story of four individuals whose lives converge by the banks of the Ganges River. In this small town, they all long to break free from the moral boundaries imposed by society.

The movie follows Devi, a young woman burdened with guilt after a tragic sexual encounter. She struggles to find redemption and confront the societal stigma attached to her past. Meanwhile, Deepak, a low-caste boy, is hopelessly in love with an upper-caste girl. Their forbidden love is tested by the rigid social hierarchy they must navigate.
