Drrrr. Naak

"People who are very healthy are those who do not realise their illnesses!!" - Drrr. Naak

Director' Note:

Drrr. Naak is a free style Tamil adaptation of the French play, "Dr. Knock," by Rules Romains.

The creative pressure of producing within a short period spurred us to improvise, edit and adapt keeping the central premise in mind: how a quack builds up a successful business bypsychologically manipulating peopleinto feeling ill.

Members of Magic Lantern worked well with me to turn this comedy into a meaningful one with a powerful underlying message.
