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.

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 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.

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!!
