Dobaaraa

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!

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 would have almost given this movie a miss after I saw the IMDB rating but for the fact that I noted Anurag Kashyap is its director. So decided to give it a try and it turned out very gripping. It is not your regular run of the mill movie. So I guess it is meant for a discerning audience who can appreciate time travel and parallel universe. Do not let these words scare you - this movie is a slickly made whodunit - worth checking during the Diwali long weekend. Good actors too including Saswat Chatterjee.

It is poor ratings which stop the making of intelligent Indian movies . And then the same people crib about not enough good movies being made. And since Badla was made, am enjoying these remakes of Spanish movies. Directors / Producers are introducing us to good stories which we may normally have not watched.

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 absolutely loved the movie. Taapsee, specifically was brilliant and she does stand out among some very talented bunch of actors. The movie is a remake and while I haven't watched the original, I liked the adaptation. Frankly, the execution by Anurag Kashyap could have been much better given the talent he has but I'd definitely watched the movie in the theatre. I really think the romance angle could have been avoided and it would have made a much better ending. Bollywood needs to learn to stick to the genre and stop pushing over the top romance in every story. Excellent performances by the majority of the cast. The cinematography could have been better and I'm not sure if they had the budget but Bollywood needs to start spending more on the vfx, scripts and screenplay instead of overpaying so called stars who deliver back to back flops.
