With Dobaara, writer-director Bejoy Nambiar explores the concept of a do-over in life. The film, starring Manav Kaul and Parvathy Omanakuttan, tells the tale of an unlikely relationship stemming from a loveless marriage and how it’s never too late to pursue your heart’s desires. “We all deserve a second chance. Someone in my family narrated an incident to me, which led me to write this movie,” begins Nambiar. It is often said that one should never have to change themselves for love. Through the ZEE5 offering, the director questions the idea. “I have seen people stuck in loveless relationships and marriages, and that helped me shape this film differently. I feel people should reinvent for those they love, but never change the core of who they are as human beings. These aspects go hand-in-hand. Both are needed to make a relationship work.”
