Ratings and reviews

One of the most underrated movie of its time, while being a remake of the Telugu movie "Anaganaga Oka Roju" which was directed by Ram Gopal Varma himself and also had Urmila in the lead role, Daud does manage to pull in some fun elements, especially in the form of "Chako" played by the talented Neeraj Vora". Daud also has an amazing soundtracked composed by A. R. Rahman, which in most cases work as per the theme of the movie. Overall Daud is a fun watch packed with some Bold scenes by urmila.
