Producer Ashok Dhanuka has gone into overdrive to make the Dev-Shrabanti-starrer Dujone a real potboiler.
“Dujone is the first film with DI (digital intermediate) from the first frame to the last. Bollywood has long adopted the method, but so far only important portions of Bengali films were sent for DI,” claims Himangshu Dhanuka, the co-producer of Dujone which releases on September 17.
What that means for the cine-goer is that each scene in Dujone has been treated digitally to improve the visual quality. For those not in the know, DI lends a “super glossy” picture quality. The Dhanukas have shelled out Rs 20 lakh for the DI alone. The film’s total budget is Rs 2 crore.
“The film looks amazing after DI and all the flaws have been erased. For instance, in one scene the door paint had chipped off. I was worried about it but DI has made it look perfect,” says Dujone director Rajib Kumar.
“Dujone is inspired by the superhit Telugu film Nuvvu Nenu,” says Himangshu. The Dhanukas have bought the copyright to make the film in Bengali. Dev and Shrabanti play college-goers who have problems with their parents and develop a bond but their paths are separated by a twist of fate.
“There are several risky shots but we didn’t want to compromise. We’ve shot on railway tracks with a running train which Shrabanti and Dev had to board. It was a very difficult shot. We have also shot in the interiors of Gorumara forest and near a waterfall in Sikkim,” says Rajib.
DI apart, Dujone will pull off another first in Tollywood when it will be screened at some local theatres in Chicago, Miami, San Francisco and New Jersey. “We’ve spoken to the Bengali associations at these places and they are keen to screen the film,” adds Himangshu.
