This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' Abbas and Urjita are joined by film/tv critic and screenwriter Raja Sen to talk about 1983's Masoom marking the directorial debut of Shekhar Kapur and starring Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi, Saeed Jaffrey, as well as Jugal Hansraj and Urmila Matondkar as child actors.

Topics discussed include: The interesting filmography of Shekhar Kapur, the naturalistic quality of Gulzar's writing and Pravin Bhatt's cinematography, the 'off beat' nature of Masoom compared to the films of the 80s, the fantastic performances by child actors, the iconic soundtrack by RD Burman and some artistic touches that evoked nostalgia for Raja.
