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).

REVIEW: The Limehouse Golem
- By Allan Lear
Peter Ackroyd is, I confess, an author with whom I have no acquaintance at all. It doesn’t help that for some reason I was under the impression that Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem (one name of the source novel, sensibly reduced for its cinematic byblow; the less sensationalist The Trial of Elizabeth Cree never stood a chance) was written by Dan Simmons, a novelist who specialises in long, waffly, somewhat disappointing books about real-life Victorian novelists getting caught up in spooky crime nonsense.
REVIEW: The Recursion Theorem

Sometimes dark, sometimes light, Ryan’s directing style is dynamic, fresh and specially focused on narratives.
