Some while back in my blog i mentioned of this great Hindustani movie, DOR . Great cinematography, great story and brilliant acting by all the 3 main characters particularly Gul Panag.
So just out curiosity i tried to find out a bit more of the film director, Nagesh Kukunoor.Well nowadays you just googled the name to find any relevant facts or postings of a person for that matter.
Well,lo and behold what have i found about him?
Ironic and amazing...
Nagesh Kukunoor is a chemical engineer who chucked lucrative jobs and a cushy life style not once, but twice to follow his passion-film making. Today he is recognized as a stellar overseas Indian filmmaker of critically acclaimed unconventional films.
Lucky bugger!!! Here is a man who is able to pursue a career out of a vocation that he loves.
Possibly the dreary life as a middle management technocrat does not appeal to him.
Well good luck Nagesh, you are a brilliant director as it shows in your movie .This chemical engineer can only envy you and the nearest that he can say of pursuing a similar path as you are is just to enjoy your movies over a nice cup of coffee.
