Javed Hasan (Irrfan Khan) is a celebrated filmmaker that everyone wants to associate with. He is humble, soft spoken, successful and yet retains his grassroots. However, the spark in his romance with his wife Maya (Rokeya Prachi) has gone missing for sometime as his young daughter Saberi (Nusrat Imrose Tisha) realizes and tries her level best to help rekindle. But Saberi is acutely aware of the underlying problem - it is her childhood friend Nitu (Parno Mitra), who initially desired Javed's affections from their early days now vies to be his romantic interest, and eventually his wife.
Nitu actually succeeds, much to the chagrin of Javed's loving family as he succumbs to the temptation and divorces Maya. This decision of leaving Maya and his two children Saberi and Ahir behind to begin a new life with Nitu would destroy relationships forever, something that Javed cannot recover from, as his family snaps all ties and cuts him off completely.
Doob is a microscopic examination of relationships and their fragility, however strong one may think they are. The decisions one takes can affect everyone around and the outcome is often unsavoury, uncontrollable and irreversible. An Indo-Bangladesh co-production, Doob is a Bengali language film shot is Bangladesh with some breathtaking locales, a haunting music, and a mellow mood. It is artistic and serious, albeit slow and somewhat erratic in its progress with editing shortcomings. Irrfan, Rokeya and Nusrat are masterclass, whilst Parno Mitra is passable with a very brief role.
