Actress Lisa Ray has commemorated the 25th anniversary of her 2001 film Kasoor, marking it as a pivotal project in her career. Ray shared on Instagram that the film represented a significant step into her power, featuring a strong female character with emotional complexity.
She described Kasoor as a departure from the mainstream Bollywood style of the 1990s, noting its dark, internal mood driven by feeling rather than spectacle. Despite facing discouragement at the time, with many believing audiences wouldn't accept strong female-led or darker narratives, the film proved otherwise.
