Dobaaraa

I did not know that this was based on another movie but standalone this movie rocks. What a plot and really gripping. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The other reviews which all of them say rating 1 or 2 are completely biased. Maybe these are right wing trolls who do not know anything about the movie. I have not seen this MIRAGE movie on which this is based so I really loved it.

Maybe what India lacs is this kind of storyline which is simple and complicated. Even if this is a copy of this MIRAGE movie - I still loved this rendition. I wish more such stories are also written in India. But the combo of director and actor is fairly good.

Don't look at the average rating which looks quite low. I doubt most of them have even seen the movie, probably just haters with their agendas. Most of such reviews just say watch the original Spanish version. I would disagree, I think it's best to watch a movie in the language you understand rather than relying on subtitles. So if you don't understand Spanish but understand Hindi, go for this one. Also it's an official remake, ignore the people who are commenting that it's a copy and hence shouldn't be seen. Remakes are made in different languages to reach unexposed audiences, so be proud that Bollywood has churned out such a marvelous one. It is extremely gripping and well shot. All actors have done an incredible job and Tapsee is awesome as always!

I had skipped this movie because of the bad reviews here on IMBd earlier, and I was gonna skip it again but because of Anuran Kashap and not too many other Hindi options I gave the movie a try.

Secondly I have not watched Mirage (2018 film) - so if you have seen that movie than I can't tell if you will like this movie or not.

Finally the movie - I was blown away by how good the movie was.

The main twist which comes in the first half of the movie is something we never see in any Hindi movie. For most of the movie you are on edge of your seat.

Last 30 mins could have been better that's why I will give 8.5/10

I would definitely recommend this movie!

Reason for all the bad reviews: Indian far right Hindus do not like Tapasse Pannu, and also Anuran, as they do not walk the line set up by their overlords.

So watch the movie if you have Netflix and thank me later.

When I see the reviews, it makes me sad that people have given so many bad reviews for no reason!! Either they have not seen the movie or they have so much hatred against the director or cast & crew that they have given bad reviews blindfolded!!

If someone is reading this review and want to see a good movie, I recommend this one. It's not bad at all. Not as bad as people had described.

It's so sad that these same people gave good reviews to other sequel movies but not this one.

Talking about the movie, in my opinion, in suspense thrillers, there should be no songs. Different concept. There is a disclaimer when movie starts that it is based on the novel (on which a Spanish movie has already made). So, don't worry. All good. Actors did a good job too!!

I don't know what is wrong with so many negative reviews... it's actually a beautifully scripted movie for the average desi audience.

The concept was adapted from one of my all-time favourite Hollywood movies - "Frequency" (and later, the Spanish movie, "Mirage")

But I honestly did admire how it was adapted in the Bollywood style. And Taapsee being in it made it more watchable 'coz I'm quite a fan :)

Go slow, keep an open mind and make sense of it... the movie does require brains - it's not just a random entertainment/masala film.

And yes, if you question it from a quantum relativity point of view, theoretically, there are numerous possibilities of an experience like this occurring in the real world.

The beauty of this movie is that it practically engrosses you with the plot by simply plucking a hypothesis from a plausibility in real-world space-time physics.

Enjoy if you're a nerd and an even bigger Bollywood fan :)
