Loved Dobaaraa? Watch These Bollywood Time Travel Films

Dobaaraa, an official remake of the 2018 Spanish film Mirage, is one time-traveling movie that has recently been released. The film got mixed reviews, although most people praised the director, Anurag Kashyap, for introducing the idea of parallel universes and effectively incorporating time travel into a Bollywood film. The original film received mostly positive reviews for its creative plot.

In Hollywood, the idea or genre is particularly well-liked, and several time-traveling-themed movies have been made by directors that have received positive reviews from audiences. However, it's not that simple to make a great time-travel movie. A significant number of Bollywood films have tried and failed in the last ten years for a variety of reasons. Evidently, the logic can be a challenge, or sometimes directors fail to execute their vision or fail to utilise the idea properly which results in a lack of interesting or memorable time travel dramas. Here we have compiled a list of Bollywood films on time travel.
