“DOR is my most challenging and dramatic film to date,” says ‘Iqbal’ director Nagesh Kukunoor. “The pristine locales, the spectacular cinematography and the soaring music all add up to make it a larger than life film. However, at its core, as in all of my films is the human element, the simplicity of the basic emotions that bind us all” he adds excitedly.

After his award winning flick ‘Iqbal’ Kukunoor is back with yet another tour de force ‘DOR’ starring Ayesha Takia, Gul Panag, Shreyas Talpade, Girish Karnad and Pratiksha Lonkar . The film, produced by Sahara One Motion Pictures, is scheduled for release this September.

‘Dor’ canvases the journey of two women from different worlds and how these two sets of lives come together through a tryst of destiny. ‘Dor’ makes you ask yourself how far you will one go to save the one you love. It’s a story about love, loss, friendship, hope and ultimately, redemption.

“We all look forward to Nagesh Kukunoor’s films mainly because the subject and content is so out of the ordinary and captivating. One may not have anything to do with it but we all still immediately connect to it. And after ‘Iqbal’, we wanted to work with this talented director,” says Shantonu Aditya, Chief Executive Officer – Sahara One Media and Entertainment Ltd.

Written and Directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, the film’s music is by Salim Suleiman with sound from Vipin Bhati. Sudeep Chatterjee once again shows his skills by being the Director of Photography and the art direction is taken care of by Muneesh Sappel. The production designer is Devika Bahudanam, Costumes have been designed by Komal Sahani & M.P. Karthik and the film is edited by Sanjib Datta.
