Doosra

Massive development projects are threatening the traditional livelihoods of remote, agricultural villages of Sri Lanka. Rathi and Anil are lovers living in such testing times. Amidst economic hardships they are forced to choose other means to make their ends meet. A simple scam they attempt gives them an unforeseen satisfaction. Where will this new path lead them?

Directed by Channa Deshapriya, Doosra leans on a strong ensemble — Sajitha Anthony, Thilakshini Ratnayake, Shyam Fernando — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2024.
