Mass follows the story of two couples who meet six years after a horrible tragedy(a concept which we have seen in the Hindi documentary Rubaru Roshni). The story is conversational and you always run a risk of getting monotonous if the talk isn’t as engaging. But remotely was I prepared of the things to follow. The screenplay almost takes place inside a room with just four principle characters and it was one of the most emotionally draining movie watching experiences. The conversations begin with them being awkward yet as things start to unfold you are emotionally invested in them. The drama unfolds like a psychology class which did dwell deeper into the psyche of one of their children. Like in Drive My Car, there are no flashbacks, a simple tell all from the point of view of the current scenario. The narrative is extremely balanced that makes you sympathize with both parties. The conversations are truly heartfelt and it may not be an easy watch witnessing one couple recalling the tragedy and describing it. It is rather unnerving and unsettling to sit through the conversations featuring four characters who are well fleshed out and different from one another, yet a victim of circumstances feeling the same set of emotions. The drama is an epitome of strength, valour, bitterness and ultimately forgiveness and letting things go, and you feel each and every beat. Such a wonderfully penned screenplay although a niche as most people will not enjoy the conversational nature of the drama.
