When the two girls meet and form a bond, the relationship that follows carries the hope of redemption for both. But Meera is about to be faced with a decision that will test their friendship to the limit…
A story of hope, loss and betrayal, Dor was critically acclaimed upon its release in 2006 and stands as a moving account of female friendship. It features a fantastic performance from actress Gul Panag, who will be attending this year’s festival.
