Director Anurag Kashyap’s film ‘Dobaaraa’ is the official Hindi remake of Oriol Paulo’s 2018 Spanish film ‘Mirage’. The film hit cinemas on Janmashtami day, 19 August 2022, with Taapsee Pannu’s performance in the lead role being lauded.
The story revolves around a young woman who tries to save the life of a boy who witnessed a murder during a thunderstorm two decades ago. The new age thriller delves into the world of time travel.
The movie also features Pavail Gulati, Rahul Bhat and Saswata Chatterjee, among others.
The mystery drama opened with good reviews from critics even though it reportedly failed to attract the masses on day one.
‘Dobaaraa’ is jointly produced by Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor’s Cult Movies, a new division under Balaji Telefilms, and Sunir Kheterpal and Gaurav Bose’s banner Athena.
The film marks Kashyap and Pannu’s third collaboration after ‘Manmarziyaan’ (2018) and ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ (2019), which he produced.
The genre has been tried for the first time in Hindi cinema. If the audiences accept it, a window could open up for sci-fi films in Hindi.
The effort to try something tough and courage to dabble in something new makes ‘Dobaaraa’ our recommended watch this weekend.
