"My drive was to make a visually arresting film" - Nagesh Kukunoor

Why did Nagesh Kukunoor make 'Dor' after films like 'Hyderabad Blues', 'Teen Deewarein', 'Rockford' and 'Iqbal'? This is what the young director has to say about this:

"Sometimes an idea leaps out at you and a story writes itself. This is how it happened with Dor. After an intense crazy week, the first draft of Dor came pouring out. But like all stories told from the heart the quantity of time didn't matter.

My drive was to make a visually arresting film. In a country with so many unseen, locations, I wanted to pick the right background to set the stage for this dramatic story, or stories if you will, because the challenge was to tell it from two different points of view. Both stories run on a parallel track and keep the audience engrossed at the same time.

With the most incredible team I've ever worked with, Dor has been my most satisfying film. I hope you feel the same way."

We are certainly eager to check out the film Nagesh!
