It was a great experience working with Manoj Bajpayee, one of the finest actors of our times. My producer AryanBrothers has been very supportive and encouraging”, adds the director Ajoy.
Synopsis:
Inspired by the folk tales which are passed on from one generation to another, Dus Tola is a simply told story of the victory of goodness over greed. The story is set in Sonapur, a quaint little town that has its share of eccentrics. Shankar (Manoj Bajpayee), the local goldsmith is head-over-heels in love with his neighbour’s daughter Suvarnalata (Aarti Chhabria) much to the chagrin of her father Daya Shastri (Dilip Prabahvalkar). Shastri is bent upon finding her a suitable groom from Dubai and cover her with gold at the wedding which will help him climb up the social ladder. Armed with nothing but a heart of pure gold, Shankar sets out to overcome the obstacles of devious plots and heartache. A slice-of-life tale which mirrors our society, Dus Tola is light-hearted in its narrative.
