Description: Dobaaraa (also stylized as 2:12) is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language mystery drama film directed by Anurag Kashyap. Starring Taapsee Pannu and Pavail Gulati, it is an official remake of the 2018 Spanish film “Mirage.” The movie premiered at the London Indian Film Festival 2022 and was released theatrically on August 19, 2022, receiving generally positive reviews from critics.
The story revolves around a woman who gets a chance to save the life of a 12-year-old boy who witnessed a death during a thunderstorm 25 years ago. The connection between them occurs through a television set during a similar storm in the present. While the film was praised for its direction and Taapsee Pannu’s performance, it struggled at the box office.
Critics lauded its fast-paced, multi-layered storytelling and engaging thriller elements, with many highlighting Anurag Kashyap’s precise execution of intertwining timelines. Reviews ranged from 3.5 to 5 stars, with appreciation for its brainy narrative and edge-of-the-seat experience. Despite its critical acclaim, the film failed to achieve commercial success.
