‘Ohh My Dog’ plot: Two timelines, two missing cases
The film brings together two seemingly separate stories involving missing dogs and people. In Appu’s story, the disappearance of her beloved Momo turns into a larger investigation when she and her mother discover links to an illegal dog-trafficking operation. Meanwhile, Prince’s disappearance sets Oscar on a journey of his own. The dog’s search for his missing owner forms the emotional centre of the second storyline.Director Amit Rai has described the film as a story about the bond between a child and a dog, with an emphasis on trust, loyalty and compassion. The film was originally scheduled to release on July 31 but was postponed to August 7. Rai explained that the makers took the decision because of competition for screens from other major releases.
