Written and Directed by Oscar-nominated Ashvin Kumar, Dazed in Doon is a coming of age story set in the elite Indian Doon School. As there are many escapist and fantasy sections in the narrative, the music flows through a wide range of genres, often taking a surreal and psychedelic tone. Several cues contain the vocal stylings of Indian Guru Vedang Dharashive, who improvises around traditional Indian Raags and songs.
