I had the opportunity to watch the movie "Dor" last Friday. Yet another feather to Nagesh Kukunoor's cap, I must say. The movie was simple, with no glamour whatsoever. It was a breath of fresh air compared to the usual jazzy, over hyped, glamorous movies we see these days. The actresses (Ayesha Takia and Gul Panag) were without makeup and that only brought force and intensity into their characters. Yes, their roles didn't warrant the makeup but how many directors do go down these paths which require so much of guts and passion? In addition, the scenery of Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan (though completely different and beautiful in their own ways) opens our eyes as to how beautiful India really is! If you remember Shreyas Talpade,the actor in Iqbal, you can see him once again as Beroopiya in Dor. He has once again proven how versatile an actor he really is. I guarantee that his timely comical enactions will bring you to splits!!
All in all, this movie is a must-see…and it would be a shame to miss it!
