However, he added that the intimate scenes would have to be shot as per guidance. His conflicts will continue to be explored,' said Anshuman Jha, who essays the lead role of Rajaram/Mastram.

The battle between his real world relationships and his literary imaginations were the core of the series - which is why people have connected with the series. 'His cult books are an integral part and will continue to be in the show. The series accounts the real-life story of the writer Rajaram, who became successful writing pulp fiction loaded with erotica under the pseudonym of Mastram, and also brings alive the stories of his bestseller books on screen.

Sex and sexuality forms an important aspect of the show because of its theme. Mumbai, May 22 (IANS) Work on the second season of the web series 'Mastram' has started, and what with scenes of sex and intimacy being an integral part of the story, the makers plan to shoot intimate sequences in the new season following due restrictions and guidelines in the age of social distancing. But in 2020, when we have so many mediums and platforms at our disposal, 'Mastram' only manages to impart the basic lessons on sex.''Mastram'' season 2: Intimate scenes to be shot as per social distancing norms In the 80s, a series of this nature would have been considered bold, path-breaking and a complete knockout in the genre of erotica. The narrative is fresh and engaging and the actors have pulled off their parts reasonably well but one aspect of this series that perhaps doesnРІР‚в„ўt add up is, its timing. At 10 episodes (30-40 minutes each), the erotic miniseries feels a little lengthy and has been dragged beyond a point. It is worth noting here that the plotline focuses mainly on the writerРІР‚в„ўs sexual awakening and the subsequent fantasies released in the form of literature and we do not get an insight into the psyche of his creative mind. Since the setting was remote and rural, Faroukh MistryРІР‚в„ўs work behind the camera deserves a special mention for beautifully capturing both the scenic beauty and the gamy sequences in equal measures. She seemed a little too posh for the role of a Pahadi simpleton and one could tell she was acting and not reacting. Tara Alisha BerryРІР‚в„ўs act as RajaramРІР‚в„ўs desi love interest Madhu needed some polishing. Rani ChatterjeeРІР‚в„ўs voluptuous role of a local siren and snack vendor Raani is seductive and she completely owns her part. Although Ayushman JhaРІР‚в„ўs inhibitions and discomfort in the racy scenes are quite evident, he has aced his role as a shy yet strong-headed author. Writing is top-notch in the sense that not only do the stories in this 10-episode miniseries set your heart racing with their raunchy content but also the word picture that (the real) writer Aryan Sunil paints with each chapter is quite vivid.

For one, the concept of a novelist being able to produce massy erotica from insignificant life experiences seems like a winner. Soon, he assumes the pen name of РІР‚ВMastramРІР‚в„ў and starts publishing what in todayРІР‚в„ўs world is called porn literature or erotica and becomes an overnight success in this genre.There are a few things about MX PlayerРІР‚в„ўs РІР‚ВMastramРІР‚в„ў that seem to be ticking the right boxes. After initial hesitation and a chance encounter with the world of РІР‚Вblue filmsРІР‚в„ў, Rajaram starts doling out one erotic story after another. His publisher doesnРІР‚в„ўt want a snooze fest but insists on him writing sleazy content instead. Although the young writer shows an enormous amount of passion for writing and literature, nothing seems to be working in his favour. REVIEW: Rajaram is simple, believes in eternal love and much to his uncleРІР‚в„ўs annoyance, wants to get married only when he falls for someone. And that encounter, in turn, inspires him to let his imagination run wild and cook up some of the most sensuous stories on lust, learning and sexuality. Frustrated, he heads to a shady theatre and watches soft porn for the first time in his righteous life. STORY: Mr goody-two-shoes Rajaram (Ayushman Jha) is an aspiring writer in the 80s, living in a remote valley and writing a book that is dismissed as boring.
