H S ji,
What would be the common name for this one?
And how is it different from Datura metel?

I believe this too is Datura metel L. D. fastuosa is a synonym.

If you look at stem, the stem of D. metel is dark purple or blackish, so called kala-dhotra in marathi and D. fastuosa's stem is greenish called just Dhotra in Marathi.
