Yes, you can. Most universities require you to have physics as your extra-departmental/pass course for you to study physics as your M.Sc. However, since science departments recruit Master’s students via entrance exams, this might be difficult anyway. You'll have to have a self-study enough physics to crack one of the many entrances. Alternatively, you could apply to an applied mathematics degree (Like at Calcutta University or CMI) or even a general mathematics department for your M.Sc. Most departments have someone or the other working in mathematical physics. Courses that are relevant to that are differential geometry, probability theory/functional analysis, representation theory/lie groups and of course, the theory of differential equations. Approaching physics via mathematics is reasonably common.
