Dobaara was earlier planned for a May 2nd 2017 release in India, however it was later changed to June 2nd 2017. The film is directed by Prawaal Raaman who has earlier directed Indian films such as Gayab, 404 Error Not Found, Darling, and Main aur Charles, which was loosely based on serial killer Charles Sobhraj. Mike Flanagan is credited as the original writer and executive producer of the Bollywood Version (as per Wikipedia).
Flanagan is currently busy with Stephen King adaptation Gerald’s Game and soon to be announced The Haunting of Hill House. In the meanwhile, Dobaara not only borrows the film’s plot, but also the poster and the tagline.. See Your Evil!

It’s not every day you get to speak to the lead actor in possibly your favourite horror film of all time. Especially on a Tuesday. Tuesdays are usually rubbish!
David Naughton should need no introduction to horror fans. Back in 1981, An American Werewolf In London had unprepared cinema goers laughing heartily one second and jumping out of their seats in terror the next. Its tale of two young American tourists coming face-to-teeth with a legendary lycanthropic beast perfectly married a genuinely funny script with razor sharp editing, groundbreaking special effects and a flawless cast to create a monster movie that is still many people’s benchmark today

BOOK REVIEW: Quiet Places
- By Dave Dubrow
When you pick up Jasper Bark’s short novel QUIET PLACES (and if you like horror you’ll do just that), know that you’ll be holding a stick of dynamite in your hands. It’s got a slow-burning fuse, but when it goes off, you will be completely blown away.
REVIEW: Bye Bye, Baby
- By MovieCritic NextDoor
It's hard to find a more iconic beginning to a horror movie than a young woman alone in a house at night. Perhaps the most famous example is that of Drew Barrymore in the original Scream, and Bye Bye, Baby certainly pays homage to that classic scene, as a young woman named Heather (Karina Kolokolchykova) settles in to watch a scary movie (in this case, the equally classic House on Haunted Hill) before being interrupted by a phone call.
REVIEW: Death Waits for No Man
- By Dave Cliffe
Uzal (Bradley Snedeker) is an Iraq war veteran who seems to be drifting through the night and needs to be where he needs to be. After an altercation with a local drinker outside a bar, Uzal ends up going back to Lily's (Angelique Pretorius) place for a drink.
INTERVIEW: Nev Murray
- By Dave Dubrow
(In the interest of full disclosure, I must point out that Nev Murray, proprietor of Confessions of a Reviewer and Confessions Publicity, is a friend of mine, and I’ve been a satisfied customer of his publicity business since he began it. I hope that the reader will not hold it against Mr Murray that I referred to him as a friend.
DIRECTOR Ryan Kruger
Sometimes dark, sometimes light, Ryan’s directing style is dynamic, fresh and specially focused on narratives. Whether it’s an interesting, yet straight-forward story or a collection of compelling visuals that portray a story, he understands what it takes to get the desired performance and places special emphasis on characters and their levels of depth.
INTERVIEW: Adam Stilwell - director, producer of The Triangle
