Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and producer Ekta Kapoor have conceded that their forthcoming thrill ride, Dobaaraa has certain scenes like Stranger Things, however, added that the two projects are not comparable. They were talking at a press conference for the movie that features Taapsee Pannu in the lead role.
Since the trailer was released, individuals have been comparing a couple of scenes with the famous Netflix original Stranger Things. One scene, specifically, where a kid is seen riding a bicycle has grabbed the attention of many.
A News18 report cited Anurag as saying, “If you look at the red raincoat, it’s a creation of Prashant Sawant who is my costume person who puts a lot of thought behind everything. So you have to ask this question to him. But trust me, when you see the film, and I felt that the first scene where the kid is on the bicycle, it hits you like Stranger Things but the film is nothing like Stranger Things. But at that moment, you feel finally we have this sci-fi thriller that I thought, ‘oh wow.’ There’s nothing like Stranger Things but you will get that little bit of tingly feeling. The film is actually very emotional.”
Ekta added, “Interestingly, you’ll know when the movie unfolds, how it has such… Because sci-fi is a world unexplored so you will always find references with things that resonate.”
Dobaara is an official remake of the 2018 Spanish movie Mirage. The forthcoming movie will debut at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) on August 12 and is set to release on August 19.
