Dor takes off with a shy young Meera(Ayesha Takia) in Rajasthan biding goodbye to her husband, Shankar, who is going overseas to work in parallel to the recently married,fiercely independent Zeenat(Gul Panag) parting from her husband -Aamir, who live in Himachal Pradesh, who's also going overseas for work. Life continues for them both. One day Meera finds out her husband has died. And by this not only does Meera lose her respect, but also her independence and love. At the same time, Zeenat gets a call that Aamir has been accused of murdering his roommate in UAE. And he is to be executed in 2 months. The only way to save Aamir is to get the deceased's wife's signature on an apology letter(mafinama). Zeenat then sets out to find Shankar's widow in Rajasthan only with a picture of Shankar. She arrives in Rajasthan and meets a Behrupiya(Shreyas Talpade) who after an initial spat decides to help Zeenat. When Zeenat finds Shankar's house, she talks to Shankars parents who throw her out. She still believes that once she talks to Meera, she'll be able to get her to sign the document. Finally she meets Meera at the local temple. But Zeenat is unable to tell Meera the real reason why she's there. They soon becomes thick friends, and Zeenat helps Meera to become more independent in her thoughts. She teaches Meera that it isn't wrong to feel happy. Will Zeenat be able to tell Meera her real problem? Will Meera agree to sign it? I believe the casting has been done amazingly. Both the girls fit in their roles with ease. Shreyas is amazing as the comical behroopiya. Its not the greatest entertainer, but its a simple drama. Watch this movie for its simplicity and sincerity.
