Veteran filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says he cannot watch any film he has directed because then he can only see what he could have done better. "I have not seen Masoom since I made it! I can't watch any of my films because I only see what I could have done better. I still cannot watch as an outsider. So cannot fathom why it has such a following all these years after its first release," Kapur tweeted on Friday.
