In
his
26
year
long
career
as
director,
Amol
Palekar
has
made
eleven
films
and
is
all
set
with

12
th
film
Dumkata,
which
the
director
says
is
his
tribute
to
Hrishikesh
Mukherjee
and
Basu
Chaterjee!
Amol
Palekar
was
an
integral
part
of
their
genre
of
film
and
hence
has
decided
to
make
a
light
hearted
family
film
in
the
shape
of
Dumkata.
Says
the
director,
"My
fans
have
always
asked
me
to
make
films
similar
to
the
legendary
ones
of
Hrishida
and
Basu
da,
whose
films
I
was
an
integral
part
of.
Dumkata
is
that
film,
as
we
don't
have
enough
films
for
children.
They
have
to
relish
the
Hollywood
combos
or
second
rate
Indian
attempts,
I'm
sure
Dumkata
will
offer
something
original
to
our
little
ones!"
The
story,
screenplay
and
dialogues
have
been
written
by
the
writer
of
his
last
three
films,
Sandhya
Gokhale.
The
cast
of
Dumkata,
which
deals
with
an
urban
couple
and
their
two
children,
includes
Om
Puri,
Sachin
Khedekar
and
Sharnaz
Patel
along
with
child
actors
Khush
Mallick
and
Aseem
Desai.
The
music
has
been
given
by
the
terrific
trio
Shankar
Ehsaan
Loy
and
the
film
will
also
see
Om
Puri
with
his
rock
solid
base
voice
singing
rap
for
the
first
time!
Well,
fans
of
Hrishikesh
Mukherjee
and
Basu
