Featured reviews
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.

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 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 :)

It's not that bad what people have narrated here on IMDB or other places
Firstly yes it's a copy of some English film but I don't see any harm as everyone doesn't see English movies
Secondly the biggest mistake that it was released in theatre as this was purely a ott flick or would be better if they could had made this content in short series
Tapsee was good and gave her best ...it's a good low budget movie with new content and is worth if ticket prices are offered at lower prices
The drive of boycotting is very strong From day one the perception was created to make this film super flop succeeded.

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!!
