Doosra Film Reviews Highlight Mixed Execution of Cricket and Social Themes
Doosra, directed by Abhinay Deo, is a hybrid film blending documentary and fiction that parallels former cricketer Sourav Ganguly's iconic 2002 NatWest Series victory with a young Rajasthani girl's struggle against patriarchy. While the film explores themes of rebellion and societal change, critics note uneven writing, rushed character development, and a weak connection between the two narratives. The film uses cricket as a metaphor for broader social issues but receives mixed reviews for its execution and storytelling balance.
