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.

In the film, Doosra represents a country that overcome centuries old inferiority complex to find its confidence through cricket.

The other, deeply private, in an orthodox household in small town India, where an equally defiant young girl, Tara, takes on social prejudices as she comes to terms with her own mind and body.

What brings the two narratives to a head is a single event: When Captain Sourav Ganguly pulls off his shirt and waves it bare-chested from the hallowed altar of cricket - the balcony at Lords in London - to celebrate India’s 2002 NatWest final victory against their erstwhile colonial rulers.

A defiant celebratory act is suddenly elevated to an iconic image for a nation that finally sheds its centuries of inferiority complex to stand proud and comfortable in its own bare skin.
