PANAJI: Actor-turned filmmaker Amol Palekar, whose film ‘Dhoosar’ has been premiered at the ongoing IFFI 2010, praised regional cinema for coming out with intense and content rich cinema. He also said that Hindi filmmakers cannot take the risk for experimentation with the type of money riding on them.

Giving credit for his film to his crew, he said: “I follow a simple trick of getting a team of fine actors and dedicated assistants and my task is done”. 

Talking about the non-linear treatment given to the film, he said, “The script demanded such a treatment as the film goes back and forth to revive the images and memory of a woman suffering from Alzheimer’s disease”.

‘Dhoosar’ (Blur) explores different shades of human bonds while the story unfolds the starkness of dementia. It is the second film to be premiered at IFFI after Subhash Ghai’s Nauka Dubi.

Sandhya Gokhale on whose story the film is based said, “In life there is nothing in black and white and there are lots of grey areas. The film is an attempt to explore these grey areas”.
