The film with a cute sounding name, Dobara Phir Se, directed by Mehreen Jabbar, will be released on Nov 25. I’m looking forward to it. Along with the announcement of the release date came the new poster for the movie. It has all the five young protagonists in the film (Sanam Saeed, Ali Kazmi, Adeel Hussain, Tooba Siddiqui and Hareem Farooq) striking a pose. Judging by the look of things, it seems that DPS is one motion picture which will be seen dobara phir se over and over again. If that doesn’t turn out to be the case, then the makers of the project might have to change its name to aik baar hi kaafi tha.
