Does nature play an important role in the film? Are you incorporating the mood of nature with the mood of the students?

Yes. The story starts when the higher secondary starts and progresses as the season changes. The film ends when the high school ends.

Was it tough writing a screenplay on teenagers?

It was quite tough because I had to be a 17-year-old and think like them once again. The lingo they use has to be correct. I haven't added any melodrama in the film. Even the songs carry the story forward.

Why such a title? How can you have Kulir and 100 degrees at the same time?

Kulir is cold and 100 degrees is the boiling temperature. That is how teenagers are. They are hot and cold; they move from one to another. It also denotes the state of mind of these youngsters. At that age, you are confused, not sure about which way to go. That is what I want to capture in this film. The film talks about the thought process of the kids.

It is a practice of many filmmakers to preach and say that today's youth are losing values, etc etc. Are you also going to take such a stance?

I am only going to observe them; I am not going to take a stand. I will not be judgmental.
