Meghna Gulzar Talks About Daayra

In a heartfelt note that she penned before Daayra's release,   expressed that having lived in Mumbai all her life and having travelled across India, she knews most of this city and the country through her journey. However, this movie took her to unseen and unvisited places.
"And that's just the geography. Daayra took my creativity to areas I have never explored before. It took my social awareness to reaches I didn't know I had. As a student of Sociology, I learned that our life and our society is not binary. It's not just black and white," she wrote. Check out her full note below:

The filmmaker added that there is a specturm of grey that everyone exists in. Through Talvar, Raazi, Chhapaak and Sam Bahadur, she has cherished exploring the grey within the characters and the world we live in. "Daayra for me, not only explores that grey... It invades it... it attempts to dismantle it. And that is the irony of Daayra. While it is not binary, not black or white, and is certainly grey - It is also, always dual. At its core Daayra is only about duality," she penned.
