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!

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.

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!!

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.
