I was magically drawn to this movie .... while surfing randomly on YouTube i happened to hear "Kesariya Baalam" song . I liked the screenplay and more over i have never seen Ayesha takiya that cute. Went onto search about the movie. Came to know that critically acclaimed Nagesh Kukunoor (i knew him before because of his kiss with Tisca chopra in his directorial venture "hyderabad blues") was the director. Just discovered that one of my favorite movies "Iqbal" which rekindled my dream of becoming a good bowler was also directed by him. I am surprised by his diversity of movies he has done.I have come here to write a good note on movie before it might die down once i get back to my normal life. But i can't stop myself praising the director.Coming to the movie.., This movie will always remain in top 1% of all good movies i have seen or might see. I will definitely recommend my dear ones to watch this. That's the kind of feeling this movie has given me. This has taken me pinnacle of emotions; Love, friendship , affection and sacrifice. As i have said , this movie has shown the meaning and value of life in just 2 hours. The story was well written so that it depicts the situations in various regions, religions aptly. It has also shown the way to lead a life .. " Like i want it to be , no matter what others say ." I will definitely take with me the lessons i learned, for the rest of my life. Writing a review is part of the plot. Whenever i feel like having the feel of movie , i will land on this page.My search for nagesh's movie is ON now.

Dor is one of its kind..yet another masterpiece from Nagesh Kukunoor! It is a powerful story of love, friendship, trust, sorrow, laughter...you name an emotion, and you will probably find it somewhere in Dor! The storyline is strong..characters well-etched! It is a tale of going above and beyond for the one you love.The main protagonists Zeenat and Meera are as different as chalk and cheese! Zeenat is a strong-willed girl, who makes her own decisions, and is willing to bear the consequences. On the other hand, Meera comes from a traditional and orthodox background, and is the ideal obedient daughter-in-law to her obstinate in-laws! Her only ray of hope is her loving husband! Throughout the movie, we can see that each of these women has her own share of obstacles to overcome..and how they cross the hurdles in their path. Comic relief is provided by the Behrupiya..and his mimicry skills are worth applauding! Gul Panag is excellent as Zeenat. Ayesha Takia is very endearing as Meera. Shreyas Talpade has done a swell job as the "Behrupiya". He sure has a carved a niche for himself in Bollywood! The other cast is apt, and each character is well created and justified. The music is very good, and well-suited to the story.All in all, once again, an excellent piece of work from Nagesh Kukunoor!

there are lots of movies made in bollywood. but few are real movies, movies which make u feel human, the stories which can happen in life. Stories which touches the cord and makes u feel the agony running on the reel on a wide 70 mm screen. but alas in India there are really few movies made which shows the glimpse of talent lying untapped. Dor is a beautiful movie because it touches the revolution undergoing in India..and what a brilliant place to choose Rajasthan..to depict the silent suffering woman coming up to terms of life. Though i am a fan of Nagesh from the day i watched Hyd Blues...but Iqbal and Dor just boldly defies the big budgeted melo dramas having no real worth of a movie. This one is for the people who like to see their movies as a fully cooked good meal and you relish the taste long after the food is gone.

I am a movie buff, and I haven't seen better film than this one in past 2-3 years. Each and everybody has acted so well, it is hard to pinpoint. Acting by Ayesha Takia, Gul Panag and Behrupia- Shreyas Talpade is awesome. While watching movie, I felt I was totally immersed inside. It leaves viewer with deep message drawn by film. The background, the simplicity, the intensity, the desperation and the reality touches heart. Hats off to the director who made this non-commercial movie. This movie should get place in Oscars.One of the rare movies that cannot be seen these days in the Indian Movie Industry. Performance of Gul Panag (As Zeenath) and Ayesha Takia (As Meera) has been exceptional and are major highlight of the movie. Story of the movie narrates around 2 newly married women, one from Himachal Pradesh and other from Rajasthan. Most part of the movie has been shot in the desert areas of Rajasthan. Gul, formerly Miss India (1999), and Ayesha, Modern Day Actress, have reached important milestone in their career by selecting this performance oriented role and also doing good enough justice to their roles with performance. Screenplay of the movie has been framed really well, as and when the movie passes by it increases interest in the audience how the movie proceeds from there on. One of the rare in the current modern era.
