Rumi Irani has stars in his eyes, and the ability to whip up the most wondrous bun-maska, just like his dear deceased papa (Jaaferi), in his veins. He just doesn’t know it. Yet.

Mumma Daisy (Koirala) is waiting for the day her only son will replace her at the ‘galla’, and revive the creaky establishment which has been in the family for generations. As far as Rumi (Kamani) is concerned, there is no dilemma, till there is: how far is he prepared to go to make his dreams come true?

Maska falls between two stools: one part nostalgia, one part how-do-we-make-it-relevant-for-millenials. Ah, the fading romance of Irani cafes, the people who’ve spent a lifetime in their environs, the wistfulness of time past. And today’s on-the-go generation, impatient, quick to make out and sell out with as little sentiment as possible.
