Do Patti

* Do Patti Hindi Movie Review *

Directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi starring Kriti Sanon in dual roles & Kajol in the lead.

Do Patti is another version of Darlings with a forceable addition of climax which made the graph of the movie even lower.

Domestic violence & how a woman reacts & how a society should stand against is all about the movie.

When movie like Thappad, Darlings came up its high time for the Bollywood to repeat the same & Do Patti shows that "we will not change."

Keeping aside Kriti's performance who able to manage to bring the features of the two characters well, the movie does not add anything interesting.

Climax which could have been ended before the current shown climax , but by unnecessary court room scene , what the director exactly wants to show is still a question mark.

Overall a below average flick.

Oftentimes, you come along a papdi chaat where the papdi has less curd, papdi is stale, chatni put is more, the sev that goes on top is simply yellow looking. But irrespective, you still have it because you want papdi chaat.

This movie is like this. It keeps hopping from one scene to another to another with little clarity on connections other than your own imagination. There's little drama, songs, of course, has to be songs in Bollywood movie, storytelling is sidelined.

I would say that the story was good but could've been explained better, I mean shot and laid out better, making this a gripping one.

You would keep expecting it to be better.

Oh well, I sometimes expect to much from Bollywood.

Anwar Says: I was eagerly waiting for this movie after watching the trailer on a sensitive subject of Domestic abuse but I am extremely disappointed. Neither the Kanika Dhillon has been able to narrate the story nor the director Shashanka Chaturvedi has been able to convey it through her characters. I also pity for Kirti Senon first production, she should stick to her main job.

Kirti tried to save the movie in her double appearance but the the script is so scattered and the story is so predictable that she couldn't succeed. Role of Kajol , a natural actor, is so weakly written and the Haryanvi accent doesn't suit to her tongue. Even the anti-climax would hardly put any impact.

Subject like home violence, PTSD etc. Need more serious and meticulous handling and only choosing the subject and good casting do not make a good film.

This movie seemed half cooked biriyani to me. As if trying to make biriyani with only 2/3 spices. They could have done so much if the material was well cooked, it just felt flat. The only thing I liked in this movie is Shaheer Sheikh. I am used to seeing him being the good guy, he surprised me. Loved to hate him. Kriti could have done so much better. Shailee Kriti- we have seen before, Repetitive. And Saumya Kriti couldn't convince me. And the story that Tanvi Azmi said to Kajol, that was not explained later, was it sister rivalry or was it guilt? Kajol did a mediocre job. All in all i only liked Shaheer Sheikh seeing in negative light.

In a summary, this story misses on the very science of story telling.

It starts off with a twin show, making you believe there's something more to them, one is lying one isn't, keeps you guessing and keeps you intrigued. Gives you a very thriller/suspense vibe by focusing on the polar opposites sister and the "ma ji" character- who appears to be mysterious and suggesting there's more to the story she's trying to sell (all that flashback)

Then SUDDENLY, out of no where this movie becomes all about a social issue. Hands down, it's a very important social issue and needs addressing but the way this movie randomly jumps on it was VERY random, sudden, abrupt and not coherent at all.

It's like you watch a movie about race car driving and then it suddenly becomes about prostitution that happens on red light signals and goes all in on it. You're left confused.

Kriti acted really good and you'd buy her as two opposite characters- however, how this movie ended, we absolutely did not need two characters. One was enough!

Kajol is a natural at this point, acting is like sipping water for her so all the praises to her craft!

The guy in the movie is really good too!

Writing seems like they stitched two VERY different movies together. From a character piece to a social issue narrative.

Good scenic shots here and there.

Over all a very confused movie with good performances.
