WITH a National Award and a reputation for socially conscious storytelling, director Mansore takes a refreshing turn with Doora Theera Yaana, a romantic drama that promises more than just scenic visuals and sweet nothings. Set against the backdrop of a soul-searching road trip, the film stars Vijay Krishna and Priyanka Kumar in leading roles. For a filmmaker known for hard truths and quiet revolutions, this marks an emotional shift.

"Romance is there, but it still carries my signature," says Mansore. Known for Harivu, Nathicharami, and Act 1978, the director reveals that Doora Theera Yaana was born from a mix of survival and sincerity. "When I made Harivu, I hoped it would make it to awards and Panorama and help recover at least 20 lakh through subsidy. Today, the game has changed. The audience decides everything. Theatre is where I need to survive. That's my reality now."
