Featured reviews
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!!

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 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.

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 don't know what is wrong with so many negative reviews... it's actually a beautifully scripted movie for the average desi audience.
The concept was adapted from one of my all-time favourite Hollywood movies - "Frequency" (and later, the Spanish movie, "Mirage")
But I honestly did admire how it was adapted in the Bollywood style. And Taapsee being in it made it more watchable 'coz I'm quite a fan :)
Go slow, keep an open mind and make sense of it... the movie does require brains - it's not just a random entertainment/masala film.
And yes, if you question it from a quantum relativity point of view, theoretically, there are numerous possibilities of an experience like this occurring in the real world.
The beauty of this movie is that it practically engrosses you with the plot by simply plucking a hypothesis from a plausibility in real-world space-time physics.
Enjoy if you're a nerd and an even bigger Bollywood fan :)
