NEW DELHI - Walt Disney India announced Thursday that it would distribute Planman Motion Pictures’ forthcoming movie “Do Dooni Chaar” starring Neetu and Rishi Kapoor in the domestic market from Oct 8.
The directorial debut of Habib Faisal, the movie is an inspiring story of a middle class family. It also marks the return of the Kapoor pair as a lead couple on the silver screen after 30 years.
At the centre of the film is the Duggal family.

Added to that is a demanding teenage daughter (Aditi Vasudev) and a fast-track son (Archit Krishna).
The action begins when the family’s middle class dream graduates from a scooter to a car. What follows is a journey of chaos, revelations, confrontation and discovery which eventually brings them together as a family.
“Storytelling is at the heart of Disney’s creative heritage and ‘Do Dooni Chaar’ is the best representation of this with its delightful and touching narrative that will resonate with every Indian family and features characters to fall in love with,” Swati Shetty, executive director - theatrical productions and acquisitions, Walt Disney Studios International Production (India), said in a statement.
