Dobaaraa Movie Review:

‘Dobaaraa‘ is one of the most commercial films of Anurag Kashyap’s career. First, there is not a single abuse here. The second is the arrival of songs in the film. But it is also not that Anurag Kashyap has forgotten to use his elements in order to increase the commercial appeal of the film. If you have followed his cinema, you will find traces of it here too. Violence comes first in these points. Violence has gifted a different kind of fan following to Anurag. But the violence of his cinema is not hollow. There is a scene in ‘Dobaaraa‘ where murder is about to happen. Things are just building up to that murder. Slowly we reach that scene. The film may be reaching its pace there, but our mind is already there. Despite not revealing it, we want that now only that murder should be seen.

Even if they do not celebrate that violence, aren’t you eager to wait for him? The violence of Kashyap’s cinema connects us to that part of us. The part that is waiting for the violence to happen on screen. Fear stems from this violence. We are not afraid of ghosts in Anurag’s films. Instead, he is scared of the circumstances, of the people imprisoned in them. Here are both these things. Sylvester Fonseca is the cinematographer of the film. Here his work on the stormy sequence gives the film its necessary horror element. The violence and horror of Anurag’s cinema were discussed. Now talk about the humor of his cinema, which he uses in his own way.

No matter how odd or dark the circumstances may be, there is always a scope of humor in them. Sometimes less, sometimes more, but it definitely remains. We just turn our eyes away from that side in the midst of the big picture. You will get to see the humor coming from those simple lines in ‘Dobaaraa‘ at many points.

‘Dobaaraa‘ is a thriller film, which runs cut-to-cut. Both the timelines of the film run concurrently and the transition between them is not shaky. However, due to its fast pace, the film also forgets to answer some questions.

From above, ‘Dobaaraa‘ may be labeled a thriller film, but from the surface inside, it wants to explore many themes. One of them is that no matter how much you are lost, wherever you are lost, love will save you. Anurag is not a filmmaker who is known for making hardcore romance cinema. In that sense, it adds a feel-good element to the story. The only issue is that this site does not get proper space. Perhaps this has been done to keep the length of the film short.

Acting:

Now let’s talk about the actors in the film. All the actors including Taapsee, Pavail, and Shashwat do exactly what the scene needs. Don’t break their character. Don’t add anything above or below it. While doing this, these people would not remain tied in any set pattern. You do not feel that if this character has come on the screen, then it will laugh, or scare you. These actors understand the situation of their character and act accordingly. This also gives range to the characters and also makes them human.

Verdict:

‘Dobaaraa‘ is such a film that even if you can tell the experience of watching it to your friends. But they will not be able to understand the story. For that, they themselves will have to go to the theaters and watch the film.

Dobaaraa Movie Rating:
