Our firsts often leave us with valuable lessons. Anubhuti Kashyap would agree. In the three weeks since her maiden feature film Doctor G opened to an underwhelming response, the director has cut the emotional cord that bound her to it, to gain an objective perspective. So, what has been her been biggest takeaway? “There were a lot of wrong decisions made, even in the script and narrative arc,” she says thoughtfully. A coming-of-age story of a sexist gynaecology student, the Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer was well-intentioned but inconsistent. Kashyap, who co-wrote the script with Sumit Saxena, Saurabh Bharat and Vishal Wagh, attributes it to the tonal differences. “Sumit and I are different writers. [That resulted in] tonal differences. More than regrets, there has been learning. The biggest one is that you must be completely satisfied with the script before going to shoot.”
