Doosra is the story of how cricket changed India, seen through the eyes of a young girl. The film is a groundbreaking feature format a fictional narrative weaving with archival footage well-documented incidents from India's political, economic and sporting history at the turn of the millennium.[4]
Doosra is slang for ‘the other one.’ In cricketing terminology, a ball that unexpectedly goes the other way.
