Review
The film’s brilliance lies in its ability to weave humor and emotional depth seamlessly. Jackie Shroff delivers a nuanced performance as the reserved Kamath, while Neena Gupta shines as the firecracker Prakash Kaur.

“Mast Mein Rehne Ka” isn’t just about laughter, though. It delves deeper, exploring themes of loneliness, regret, and the resilience of the human spirit. The parallel stories of Prakash and Kamath, contrasted with Nanhe’s own struggles, offer a poignant commentary on the human need for connection and the challenges of navigating life’s uncertainties.
