The Lookalike

This film is campy and hilarious, just as I like them. For a low budget film, they did an amazing job capturing the decadence and vibrancy of the genre, but without taking themselves too seriously. The film is genuine and honest, and a ton of fun. And who doesn't love a Cinderella story? Very self-aware, you can tell the entire cast had as good a time making it as I did watching it. If you are looking for a film for crazy special effects, shocking twists and an all-star cast, go elsewhere. But if you are looking for an enjoyable viewing experience, you have come to the right place! I would definitely watch it again and recommend it to my friends.

(and the leading lady is absolutely gorgeous, in both roles.)

This film rocked. I watched it the other day and I was pleasantly surprised by how charming, sincere and sweet this film was. The beautiful actresses, Sitara Hewitt and Koel Purie did a really good job in this film with their comic performances and the first time director Arun Bharali did a good job making this movie entertaining with its funny dialogues and characters. It was a comical interpretation of Bollywood Movies with some really great scenes. I am looking forward to seeing more of Arun Bharali's movies in the future. I have very rarely been entertained by movies in the past, but Bolly Doubles along with American Pie, There is Something About Mary, Zoolander and Borat are movies which have left me feeling really good, and given me lots of laughter. After watching Bolly Doubles I am very much interested in watching more Bollywood movies and am eagerly waiting for Arun Bharali's next movie!

I was quite sceptical before I watched this movie, but, I have to say, it exceeded my expectations! It is certainly funny and cleverly done!

It is a Canadian - Bollywood movie about Kavita, who is a mild-mannered, bespectacled nerd who works in a video store in Toronto. She loves Bollywood movies and she idolises Kohinoor, a Bollywood superstar. Kavita, 25, would love to go to drama school, but her mother prefers that she enter into marriage with a suitable suitor. "He has a job and a Honda Accord," Mama points out, but Kavita doesn't want to let go of her dreams.

The story is fast pacing and certainly provide you a good entertainment. Highly recommend it!

I was working as a film extra doing it which I played a policeman just writing a report on the brawl and it was quite good being almost close to the action. It was the best film I got involved and yes it was low budget but it was still fun. That was seven years ago and I hadn't seen the film yet. Hopefully I get a chance to see it one day. This was in 2005 when it was made and it was a day & night session and the best part of it was the police station scene where you can see everything happening on camera. This was super cool and perhaps the only time I'll ever get to witness it. It's been seven years and I hadn't yet seen the picture but I hope if everyone is reading this I like a copy of it.

This is a charming and highly entertaining directorial debut, shot on an incredibly low budget by a great team, directed by the brilliant Arun (Petrichor) Bhirali. Arun Bhirali was a superb musician (violinist and pianist) and composer, who studied composition with Brian Ferneyhough in California before deciding to change career path. Because of his immense creativity and drive, he managed to forge a burgeoning career as a talented and imaginative film-maker but tragically he fell prey to depression and alcoholism and died in 2017. Arun's is a tragic tale of how wonderfully gifted creative people can become overwhelmed by the pressures and challenges of life. There ought be more discussion about these issues within the film industry/
