Dawoodi (Daudi) Bohras is an offshoot of the Ismaili sect
How their salah (Prayers) differ from the Ithna Asharis Shia?
In adhan, they testify that Ali is Wali of Allah swt. Their adhan have the "Hayya'ala Khayril 'Amal" and something else (I’ll post this as soon as I remember what this is).
Qunut: They do it for Salat al Fajar but not for any other salat.
Tasbeehat' al-Arba'a: They don't have it in the sense that Ithna Asharis do it.
The dhikir for ruku, sajda are slightly different.
Their Tashahud is different. They bless Prophet Ibrahim(as) and his progeny and also bless Muhammad(as) and his ahlul bayt. They recite a very long version of the Tahashud.
They don't raise their hands when almost completing the salat.
Their men don't put their arms on their stomach like the Sunnis. Their arms are at the side like us. But their women put their hands on their chest.

They are many other differences in their Sharia. In their marriage and inheritance law, their rules are more like the Sunnis than Shias, They don't believe in the Muta (temporary marriage). They don't believe in the 12th Imam. They believe only the first 6 Imams of the Ithna Asharis.
After the 6th Imam (Imam Jaffar as-Sadiq(peace be upon him)) they believe in other Imams from Ismail Ibn Imam Jaffar Sadiq.
The dawoodi bohras have 21 Imams. Their last Imam (the 21st) went into concealment. They also believe that the 21st Imam's descendants are also in the concealment. It's not a requirement for their 21st Imam to be alive.
I'll probably write more about this topic, later. The concept of the 21 st Imam in concealment is very different from the Ithna Asharis Imam al-Mahdi.
Who ever you are i dnt know but pls dnt say that dawoodi bohra are more similar to sunni there is a big big difference between sunis and dawood bohra we dnt belive in khalifas and yes Ali A.S is not imam for us He is more then that for he is the who made Hassan ibn e Ali A.S imam but yes our 1st priority is Allah then Muhammad SAW then Ali A.S we do matam sunni will never do matam of al e bait
