Mastram (transl. Easy-going person) is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language biographical film, marking the directorial debut of Akhilesh Jaiswal, who was a co-writer of the acclaimed film Gangs of Wasseypur . It stars Rahul Bagga and Tara Alisha Berry in lead roles. The film is a "fictional biography," meaning it is not a true story but a narrative inspired by the real-life anonymous author known as 'Mastram', whose erotic pulp fiction became wildly popular at railway station stalls and small roadside shops across North India during the 1980s and 90s.
