Dobaaraa

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.

Many things worked where many things didn't in Kashyap's Indian adaptation of Mirage. I've not watched that film BTW. In Dobaaraa, characters may don't know what's going on but we the audience know and have already seen these things in many films. So, it's getting repetitive for us. After some time it's back on the track. That's why I can say that this film is different, but this doesn't work for me.

For the first few minutes you'll not understand you're watching an Indian film or a Kashyap film until or unless someone start to speak in Hindi. Pavail Gulati is a very good actor, he should do more films. Songs were not at all necessary. But, overall a good watch. I'll recommend another movie with quite same concept, Happy Death Day 2U and for that you must Watch Happy Death Day first.

Available on Netflix.

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.

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 :)

A very brave attempt on the genre which is unknown to the audience in India. This film should have reached a different level but unfortunately thrashed by the audience which is very disappointing. But hopefully with time it will regain its status and become cult. I am very happy and proud to see such a film made by an Indian filmmaker and hope that in the coming time many more such films will be made in our country. It has everything that was needed in a sci-fi thriller and a very smart move to change a few things from the original one. Thank You Anurag sir for creating this. Really looking forward to watch more of your films.
