Dor – Review

September 26th, 2008

Cast : Gul Panag, Ayesha Takia, Shreyas Talpade
Direction : Nagesh Kukunoor


Blend simplicity with substance and sashay down Bollywood’s box office with a deafening uproar: That seems to be director Nagesh Kukunoor’s secret formula of filmmaking. After Iqbal, that soul-stirring testament to human endeavour, he comes up with Dor, a film that touches your soul once again and makes you end up doing Salaam Namaste to the brave new spirit that’s currently making desi cinema that biggest bet in the field of entertainment. And no, we aren’t talking of the blockbuster variety only; the kind which dazzles with its crorepati budget and its Hollywod-ishtyle SFX. Here, we’re saluting the New Wave of New Age creativity which is completely homegrown and borrows nothing from nowhere. Iqbal, Omkara, Munnabhai and now Dor… just to name a few.
