"Mujhe aapse ek mehatvapurna baat kahni hai,” Behroopia tells Zeenat. He is high on alcohol. He knows he needs it, for only alcohol can give him the courage. He has done the mistake of loving Zeenat. Truly, love does not follow any rule. He gathers all his courage and tells Zeenat about his feeling. Zeenat does not say anything then.
Next morning Behroopia apologizes for his behavior the previous night. She goes and hugs him. Nothing is said. He understands, he has got his reward. It was jadoo ki jhappi. It was love. A love that is much more beyond the comprehension of physical world. Some call it emotional relation while many others name it as spiritual. Whatever, but surely it is not earthly. It is Meera’s love for Krishna.
This and many more such touching moments make watching Dor an experience to cherish. Dor is not a candyfloss boasting of higher notions of love. It’s a simple story woven across universal theme of love and relations. All the emotions mixed and matched to such an extent that you cannot separate them.
The story revolves around three characters- Zeenat (Gul Panag), Meera(Ayesha Takia) and Behroopia(Shreyas Talpade). Each character is complete in itself.
Zeenat is an independent self-assured woman who does not fear to go any length to save her man. She has a never say die attitude which makes her go to Rajasthan in search of Meera. She fights against all odds.
Meera on the other hand is a simple and conventional girl. She follows the traditions of his family without any fail. She enjoys life in whatever way it comes to her.
Behroopia is a joker. He is humorous, witty and charming. He has a very big heart and is very loyal friend.
They are not Jai-Verru, or Laila-Majnu kind of character but people around us. People - full of strength and weaknesses. You can be like anyone; sometime you can be like none too.
Gul has looked simply superb as a simple Himachal girl. Aisha has a innocent face and suits for the role of a sweet Rajasthani girl. Shreyas is the icing on the cake. He is impressive with his mimicry. No big star cast but really talented actors are the strength of the movie. It is fast paced narration, strictly guided by the storyline. Background music adds to the theme of the story. Amazing camera work, I envy the troupe that got the chance to stay in Majestic Rajasthan and Beautiful Himachal.
It’s a must watch. Nagesh Kukunoor surely has a recipe for beautiful movie. He has done it again.

Wow.. This is what I was waiting for. Cute and Crisp write up with a tinch of sentiments scattered in between.
