Massey Sahib is a 1985 Hindi drama film directed by Pradip Krishen, starring Raghubir Yadav in the title role.

[1] The film also stars Arundhati Roy, who was yet to write her first novel and win the Man Booker Prize, along with Barry John and Virendra Saxena.

Francis Massey (Raghubir Yadav) is a clerk in the District Collector's office in the colonial administration of British India.

In his wish to help the rulers – in particular, his immediate superior, District Collector Charles Adam (Barry John) – Massey adopts methods that are irregular.

In 1980, Pradip Krishen won the first prize in a script-writing competition organised by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC).

Then Basu went abroad and Krishen chose Raghubir Yadav, at that time an unknown young theatre actor.

In an interview, Raghubir Yadav said that he was very nervous about facing the camera for the first time, but was reassured by Barry John, with whom had worked on the stage.

[4] Looking back on it, one critic wrote:"Raghuvir Yadav set the screen afire with his persuasively intense performance as a clerk who is ambitious but not clever enough to manoeuvre exotic rules and regulations that land him into trouble.
