Filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor’s film Dhanak has been invited for the Generation Kplus programme of the 65th Berlin International Film Festival 2015. It will have its world premiere at the festival itself.

Shot in the by-lanes of Rajasthan, the film revolves around  a little girl Pari’s endeavor towards getting his brother’s eyesight back.
