&pictures is all set to air the World Television Premiere of Anurag Kashyap’s mystery thriller Dobaaraa on April 29, 2023, at 9 PM. The movie also features Pavail Gulati, Rahul Bhat, Nassar, and Saswata Chatterjee among others in pivotal roles.
An official adaptation of the Spanish film Mirage, the film centers around Anatara (Taapsee Pannu), whose life changes after she finds herself in front of a TV set when she attempts to save the life of a child who passed away twenty-five years back. Is the boy dead, or is it all just a coincidence? And what is his connection with Antara? The answers to these questions may be the key to Antara’s darkest secrets, but they also come with a dangerous price. A series of bizarre and unexplained events begin to occur building enough tension and thrill to hold the attention of the viewers.
Talking about the film, Pannu said, “I have been a huge fan of Spanish filmmaker Oriol Paulo’s (who wrote and directed Mirage) work. He writes some amazing thrillers. So, when I read the script of the original film, I was intrigued by the idea of time travel and a parallel universe. I took the script to Anurag Kashyap who read it, got hooked on it, and decided to direct the film. It is my third collaboration with Anurag, with whom I share a great bond. The film has a murder mystery along with time travel so it’s double-layered, something that excited me a lot. With the world television premiere of Dobaaraa on &Pictures, the audience will enjoy the elements of suspense and thrill.”
Speaking about the film, Director Anurag Kashyap said, “When we started writing Dobaaraa, the Spanish film Mirage had not even been released. So Dobaaraa is an official adaptation but not a remake. I had never attempted this genre in the past so I decided to bring a fresh perspective to the sci-fi thriller by making a film that is suspenseful yet thought-provoking. With its world television premiere on &pictures, I am excited for the audience to experience the world of Dobaaraa.”
Joint Managing Director, Balaji Telefilms Limited- Ektaa R Kapoor, said, “As a producer, I have always believed in telling stories that aren’t run of the mill and have always tried to offer something unique to the audience. So, when Dobaaraa came to me, I was fascinated with the idea of time travel and a murder mystery. Working with Anurag and Taapsee was an enriching experience, as both of them pushed their boundaries. I can’t wait for the movie to reach a wider audience with its premiere on &pictures.”
