‘Dobaara’, starring Huma Qureshi, Saqib Saleem, Adil Hussain and Lisa Ray in lead roles, has often been labeled as a remake of the horror film ‘Oculus’. However, film director Mike Flanagan has something else to say.
In a recent candid chat, Mike said,
“Prawaal (Raman, director) did an amazing job of really fleshing out this idea of seduction. What was really a very small part of ‘Oculus’, is his idea. It isn’t a remake, in the sense that so many movies are kind of taken from one culture/marketplace and just redone/repackaged. This to me is a very different kind of relationship, because it truly is taking a story and running it through someone else’s vision. This isn’t a shot-to-shot recreation. This isn’t just retelling a story that’s been told. It really is a new interpretation of the story. What I think is unique about it, is that the word remake is not really appropriate. It’s misleading because this really is a new interpretation of the story. The way the characters and the story, is approached, it’s very much its own movie.”

After praises coming from the ‘Oculus’ director himself, wouldn’t you also want to go and watch ‘Dobaara’ post 2nd June?
