The parallel to the 'Water' is uncanny though - including the last scene- a la Jab Jab Phool Khile.

I am yet to watch the movie. 'Dor' is an exact copy of malayalam movie 'Perumazhakaalam' (meaning: The monsoon) which bagged the national award for Best Film on Social Issues in 2004.

Hi all!!!

I saw DOR movie today.Still I'm in that movie hangover.Really a wonderful movie.

Whether its man or women one should really have the desire to LIVE the life facing all the difficulties.We cannot avoid the difficulties or problems in life but definitely we can change our way we react to the problems.In this film in MEERA's life ZEENAT brought back BEAUTY of LIFE but in real life its hard to get friends like ZEENAT,we ourselves should try to bring back our lost happiness.Some years back I really thought of ending my life for not being successful in academics inspite of having sufficient subject but ME MYSELF helped myselves and now I'm leading a new life in which I spend each moment happily with a hope that I will implement my ideals one fine day.

Cheers,

Mythili

Have not watched "Dor" yet. With such recommendation seems like I will have to watch it. Thanks.

So this proves that in this film Ayesha is watachable even for elders!!!

Yeah!!! I don't watch Ayesha movies thinking them to be cheap but in this film her performance was really nice,her innocence really gets an award!!!

😆, Dr. Sahib, 41 is young for a man. I think DOR can be watched by anyone. Its just that kids and teenagers don't pay attention to movies like DOR.

Very true. But it's not only the widowhood that I was talking about.

It's all pervasive in many aspects of a close knit society. Let me give you some examples:

a) The daughter coming home late from something as innocent as a tution class or a dance class. It's the neighbourly Mrs Sharma who is forever standing at the window clocking the time of departure and the arrival of the poor girl who is unknown to herself is going to be the fodder for gossip and speculation in the neighbourhood.

b) The daughter in law trying to settle down in her new home and the resident female of the house commenting ' tumhare maa baap ne tumhe kya yahi siksha di hai' because she got up a little late for making the morning tea courtesy her new husband.

c) At a function the women commenting on a young bride of the house how she lazes around whole day only because the poor girl has a habit of taking an afternoon nap....

d) The daughter can wear whatever she wishes, but the DIL will not wear salwar/sari/ghaghra depending upon which part of the country you are from.

e) The mother indulging her 16 year old and her friends commenting on how she is spoiling her life by not teaching her housework. (I don't have anything against kids learning housework btw, I am already training my kids to do chores and both are boys 😆).

f) The son of the house gets petted and forgiven for the very things the girl child gets severely punished, and that too in homes where both parents might be highly educated ( I actually know a scientist and his CA wife do that.....😕).

I can go on and on. And here we are not even talking about terrible customs which forces women to wear white or hide themselves behind layers of clothes or always be at the mercy of the male member of the house.......and I find it's women who are doing this more than the men themselves. In fact most of the men do it only when it's a public issue or some kind of political or religious gain is involved.

You know what's the biggest factor I feel behind all these in our society. Our females don't participate actively in the growth of our economy. They have ample time in their hand to do such things like pulling another one down, back-biting, finding faults with others. Had they used this time in something progressive and productive, things would have improved. That's the reason in the countries like USA, Japan with the largest economy- no one cares. Since a large no. of women spend their time in contributing in the country's economy.

Abhi, as my pov is, brutal honesty, even that of age, seldom pays...😉😆

Try your luck with 31 next time, maybe you would be brought back into the undead.....😆

I am not sure which films you are referring to, but I have always found Ayesha very very sweet and cute in every movie. I have never seen her in any remotedly revealing dress or any item role...maybe I missed...but I loved her in that movie too where she was paired with Abhay Deol, forgot the name of the movie - it had the song 'yara rub ruth jaane de'.....she looked very very cute and innocent in that too.

women don't get equal opportunities as men
for years,its been like that...not only in india, but in the world too..
wen one woman ties to break free...shes hounded by others,simply for the reason that they don't hav the courage to do so..and they can't see sum1 else live a life they hav been dreaming of..

I finally got chance to watch the movie. Really good one. Loved the simplicity of the movie.

I think girls like Zeenat are rear specially with the background she was coming from. Girls like Meera and people around her are still seen in today's world. I loved the when Meera's grand MIL tells her MIL that she was having the pride ONLY becuase her husband was still around and that she should not forget that she could be in their side too. I think if one women decides to help and motivate other women (be it friend like Zeenat or Grand MIL law like meera's dadi) women can really get courage to fight the evil of this society that is not always male dominating, but also female supressing and blaming other females like Meera's MIL.
