The movie: Masoom. A heartwringing tale of an illegitimate little boy.

The moment: Masoom has amazing repeat value. No matter how many times you see it, it still affects you. Jugal Hansraj's hurt eyes say it all when he tells Shabana Azmi softly, 'Mujhe pata hai… Chitthi mein sab likha hai (I know. I read the letter),' and hands her the crumpled letter.

Without being overly dramatic, Hansraj takes you though Rahul's pain when he discovers the 'uncle' he idolised as a father figure is actually his real father. Too bad Hansraj couldn't make it big as an adult star.
