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.
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.

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.
Most of us all will definitely judge by the numeric IMDb rating it has.
But it's because the biased rating that users have input because of Boycott and all.
However the movie speaks for itself. It is a good watch, great direction and amazing screenplay.
Anyone now watching this on Netflix will surely enjoy it.
This is clearly not a justice to any art being judged before it is experienced.
Watch it now for Taapsee Pannu.
And not to forget Anurag Kashyap Direction.
This movie is worth watching, no doubt.
It could've recognized more in case it wasn't released in Theater at the first place.

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.
