Interesting facts

Dazed In Doon is a 2010 film written and directed by Ashvin Kumar, who was invited by The Doon School to create a fictional film set in the school to mark its 75th Founder's Day in 2010. It has since become controversial as after the initial screening during the occasion, the school authorities moved to suppress the distribution of the film on the grounds that it "doesn't give the School a good name", referring to the scenes of bullying depicted in the film. The film runs to 55 minutes and was made in just four months, from the start of pre-production on 20 June 2010 to the first screening on 23 October 2010.
