DOBAARAA is the best movie I have seen in the year 2022
It's story is at the different level. People who believe and uderstand the rebirth, Parallel Universe concept, they can undestand this movie very well and they can connect the movie's time travel story, scenes connection.
Other reviewers have written and explained very well that I don't have more better words to explain.
I request you all to must watch this movie to experience the very different and very high level story.
Taapsee Pannu acted well and Anurag Kashyap directed very well.
As an Anurag Kashyap fan, I totally didn't expect him to take on this film. I can easily say this is brave from him to explore this genre and it's been handled perfectly for Hindi audience to understand. I've been wanting Bollywood to explore this area in film for a long time now, and to see a time-loop thriller finally here and done very well is honestly commendable.
Next I Have to praise the absolute stunning visuals in this film. They most definitely fit the genre. Cinematographer Sylvester Fonseca nails his role and understands the story from a camera's lens very beautifully. Specifically, the camerawork in the short sequence before the title kept me hanging on the edge of my seat.
And what goes with stunning visuals? Yes, you guessed right, music. The background score in each and every scene was fitting and added to the element of an edge-of-the-seat thriller. I'm not very familiar with the band "Shor Police" But I liked the songs in this film too.
Ok next up we have the narrative and screenplay. Even though this is a remake, the challenge is always there in terms of adaptation. Not much has been adapted from the original but the elements they have adapted are rightfully justified and it's perfect for Hindi audience.
Ok, So as an Anurag Kashyap fan. I have to say I was little disappointed that it didn't feel like his film. Usually his style of direction is more dark and grounded whereas this didn't feel like it at all. But his direction nonetheless was good regardless in my opinion.
Other than that, I thought Taapsee nailed it as usual and I extremely enjoyed Rahul Bhat as Vikas. I thought he perfomed beyond the moon and I loved his comedic role. All the other supporting actors did well in their respective roles too. As a indian from down south, I have to say I enjoyed the short role from Nasser. I appreciated the representation of a south indian in this film. Everything down from the name to the short tamil dialogues here and there. Even if it was a short role, it's still the best representation bollywood has for a south Indian film ever.
Overall, I enjoyed this film. It was really hard for me to pick out what was bad and what I didn't like. Because quite frankly, I loved this film. As an enjoyer of the original film, I didn't see any problem with this film, even though it was yet another remake. I feel like currently, it's receiving a lot of unnecessary hate and bad reviews from people commenting "Boycott Bollywood". If you ask me, forget all the bad reviews and remarks and just enjoy this for the beautiful film it is. I hope Bollywood as an industry explore this genre and other unque genres more, because it's clearly the way to go!
