India Today
Taapsee Pannu's Dobaaraa is among the Bollywood films which were a huge flop this year. Dobaaraa has hardly minted any money ever since its release.
Taapsee Pannu received great reviews for her latest film Dobaaraa. It was loved hugely by critics and audience alike. However, the audience has rejected her film, and the theatres also remain empty in many places. Ever since its release on August 19, the film has underperformed at the box office collections as it failed to attract the audience to the theatres. In its third week in the theatres, Dobaaraa is hardly collecting any money. It has added on to the Bollywood's box office flops of the year.
The dry spell on Bollywood doesn't seem to end. After a slew of flops, Taapsee Pannu's Dobaaraa collected a mere Rs 72 lakh on Day 1. The numbers kept decreasing over the days. The film is now struggling to cross the mere Rs 6-crore mark at the box office collections. If reports are to be believed, the film will end its theatrical run with merely Rs 6 crore. The Taapsee Pannu-starrer was released in just 370 screens on August 19. Even after terrific reviews from fans and critics alike, Taapsee Pannu's latest Dobaaraa failed to leave a mark at the box office. The film has hardly been minting any money ever since its release.
2022 has been a huge disappointment for Bollywood as big-budget films have failed to make a mark at the box office. Laal Singh Chaddha is currently struggling at the box office. Shamshera, starring Ranbir Kapoor failed to impress the audience. On the other hand, Ranveer Singh's Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Akshay Kumar's Samrat Prithviraj and Ajay Devgn's Runway 34 also bombed at the box office. Other Bollywood films that flopped in 2022 are Attack: Part 1, Jersey, Heropanti 2, Dhaakad, Anek, Rashtra Kavach Om, Raksha Bandhan and Dobaaraa, among others.
Dobaaraa is the official remake of the 2018 Spanish film, Mirage. The mystery drama film, directed by Anurag Kashyap, stars Taapsee Pannu and Pavail Gulati in the lead roles. It opened the London Indian Film Festival 2022 and was theatrically released on August 19, 2022. The film opened to mixed reviews from critics.
The plot of Dobaaraa revolves around a woman who gets an opportunity to save the life of a 12-year-old boy who witnessed a death during a thunderstorm that happened 25 years ago. She does so by getting connected through the television set during a similar storm in the present. The music of the film is composed by Gaurav Chatterji and Shor Police. Lyrics are written by Hussain Haidry. The background score is composed by Shor Police.
