Nagesh Kukunoor’s Dhanak is an oasis of innocence and beauty in the harsh terrain of mainstream Bollywood which is often busy showcasing prurience and cheap titillation to sell its wares.
With the narrative which unfolds like a fable, Kukunoor has provided the viewers with an immersive journey to a magical world. There would be many a moist eye in the theatre as the simplicity of kids tugs at our heartstrings.
