Doosra movie review: what critics say (7)
What critics say Critics are divided: 2 of 7 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 4 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the script and the emotion.
The team's win being attributed to breaking free from 'a colonial hangover,' and Tara's shaking off gender constraints while discovering who she really is, feels like a forced connection.
Read the full reviewThe idea sounds more exciting than the film because it is a stretch juxtaposing Tara's life with the Indian cricket team's winning streak under Ganguly's captaincy in 2001. Together, they fall into neither fish nor fowl territory.

Read the full reviewThe concept can sound appealing, but the execution of it was simply uneven and weak. Ultimately, Doosra has a promising idea but struggles to turn it into an engaging story.
Read the full reviewWhile the film establishes her questioning of domestic expectations, it barely explores how her discontent develops into resistance.
Read the full reviewAn unconventional sports drama and a sensitive coming-of-age film rolled into one, it deserves credit for attempting something different and finding an engaging emotional connection between the two.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.

What we know
The 2002 NatWest Final was more than a cricketing victory for India. It was a moment when a nation found its voice, and a young girl found the courage to speak her truth.
