Here is the trailer of director Neeraj Ghaywan's movie Masaan that won two awards at Cannes Film Festival this year. For the lovers of refined cinema, it's a must-watch.

Masaan' is set in Varanasi. It tells the story of a low caste boy (Vicky Kaushal) in love with a high caste girl (Shweta Tripathi). It tells the story of a girl (Richa Chadda) whose sexual encounter ends in a tragedy as she is caught in a sleazy racket and being held to ransom by the police and authority.

There's also a hapless father (Sanjay Mishra) with a fading morality, and a spirited child yearning for a family

Masaan' revolves around these several characters looking for an escape.

Talking about the film, director Neeraj Ghaywan said earlier, "It is about the people living in small towns in India and their attempt of escaping the conventional mindset, the rigid social structure."
