Dobaaraa

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
