Disney India Presents Live-Action Hindi Feature

MUMBAI: The Walt Disney Company in India has slated an October 8 release for its first live-action Hindi feature, Do Dooni Chaar.

Do Dooni Chaar is the story of a middle class family: the father is a school teacher trying to cope with inflation rates, the mother loves the good life, the daughter is a demanding teenager and the son is on the fast-track. The family decides to buy into the big middle class dream of upgrading from a scooter to a car, a journey that will ultimately bring them together. The film, which opens on October 8, stars the hit duo of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor.

“Storytelling is at the heart of Disney’s creative heritage and Do Dooni Chaar is the best representation of this with its delightful and touching narrative that will resonate with every Indian family and features characters to fall in love with,” said Swati Shetty, the executive director of theatrical productions and acquisitions at Walt Disney Studios International Production (India).

“Do Dooni Chaar has been an incredible experience for us and we are thrilled to be working with Disney to enable more Indian movie lovers the opportunity to see this film that we are extremely proud of," commented Shubho Shekhar Bhattacharjee, the CEO and creative director of Planman Motion Pictures. "The story of the Duggal family is one that will resonate strongly with Indian audiences and is one of universal heartache and triumph that represents the very best of the coming together of family.”

“Do Dooni Chaar and the recently announced Telugu fantasy adventure film Anaganaga – O – Dheerudu (Once Upon a Warrior), made for our southern audiences, highlights great film making, timeless stories and the versatility of our Studios business to produce across different languages and genres," added Shetty.
