Dokhunda (1934): cast, story & where to watch
1934 · Film
Released in 1934, Dokhunda is a notable film directed by Lev Kuleshov.
What it’s about. The screen adaptation of the novel by Tadjik writer Sadriddine Aini, telling the story of a tramp who falls in love with a rich girl, was supposed to become the first full-length feature film in Central Asian film history. But the unfinished Dokhunda was banned by the Soviet authorities when film production was already in full swing. No footage survived. This is why Izvolov had to rely on Lev Kuleshov’s draft to study and appreciate the maestro’s vision and the unique aesthetic concept, which was never to be realised during Kuleshov’s lifetime.
Who’s in it. Dokhunda stars Semen Svashenko as Sabir.
