With the advent of his newfound success, his middle class life takes a U-turn towards richness, thus making him the subject matter of discussion on everyone's lips. This pseudonym is something that only he and his publishers know about, so much so that he keeps his best friend and his ever-so-supportive wife Renu in the dark about his writings. And the moment he understands what the term 'masala' is actually meant, it gives rise to 'Mastram', a pseudonym under which he start writing his pornographic novels.
An innocent Rajaram then starts looking up to the lengths and breadths of almost everywhere to understand the meaning of the said term. When he meets with dejection everywhere, a certain publisher points out that if he really intends to get his books published, there is a certain amount of 'masala' that he needs to sprinkle his writings with. Since his bank's boss doesn't approve and encourage his writing, he quits the job and starts going from one publisher to the other to get his works published. Even though he works as a small-town bank clerk, he always nurtures and harbours the dreams of moving to Delhi and becoming a famous author. MASTRAM is about yesteryear's one such writer in northern India named Rajaram Vishram aka Hans. Strange but true, one such unconventional but well paying job was the art of writing porn! In today's world where everything is available at a mere press of a button, many of us have forgotten as to how the bygone era was and what all were the means of livelihood that they had adopted as a career.
