Double Engine (2024 film)

Double Engine is a 2024 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film. The film is directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Kumar Mangat Pathak. It stars Paresh Rawal, Varun Dhawan, and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles.

The film's plot revolves around a middle-aged man, played by Paresh Rawal, who develops a peculiar condition where he exists simultaneously in two different time periods - the present and the past (specifically, the 1970s). This leads to a series of comical situations and personal rediscovering for him and his family, particularly his son, played by Varun Dhawan, and a young woman who enters their lives, played by Kriti Sanon. The film explores themes of family, nostalgia, and the impact of the past on the present.

Double Engine released theatrically in India on June 14, 2024. Reviews for the film were mixed, with critics praising the performances of the lead actors, particularly Paresh Rawal, but criticizing the screenplay for being predictable and relying on overused comedic tropes. While the film enjoyed moderate success at the box office, its long-term impact remains to be seen.
