Filmmaker Dollye Tomar brings heartfelt storytelling to the screen with Omsheel Productions’ documentary “Ziindaagi in Two Shades.” For Dollye, filmmaking is life itself …a journey of emotions, truth and human connection.
The film follows the inspiring story of "Iftekhar Sharif", the first Overseas Citizen of India, showing how he beautifully balances two countries and two cultures. Hyderabad was chosen for the premiere because the journey begins here.. it is his birthplace, his emotional ground, and a city deeply connected to his success.
Dollye’s inspiration came when she witnessed Iftekhar in Chicago helping Indians who had lived abroad without documents for years, ensuring their safe return home …a gesture that touched her deeply and sparked this documentary.
Directed with sensitivity by Rajneeshh Dubey, the film gains emotional depth through strong editing by Devu Namdev and a soulful background score shaped by Dollye herself. Supported by producers Khurram Syed and Kalpana Rajput, the documentary is receiving appreciation and interest from film festivals and international audiences, proving its emotions truly universal.
