Directed by Abhinay Deo, the film Doosra attempts to merge documentary footage with a fictional storyline set between 1991 and 2002. The narrative follows Tara, a young woman living in a restrictive household who finds inspiration in the leadership of former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly. As Tara faces domestic oppression, the film mirrors her personal struggles with the broader socio-political challenges India faced during that decade, including economic instability and sports controversies. Ganguly is portrayed as a symbol of defiance and confidence during a period of national uncertainty. However, the production faces criticism for its attempt to combine disparate thematic concepts, resulting in a hybrid structure that struggles to reconcile its fictional plot with its documentary-style commentary on the era.
