"Patna Shukla" is a film that stands out not only for its impressive performances but also for its thought-provoking content. In a society rife with corruption and dishonesty across various sectors, the movie sheds light on the different facets of this pervasive issue. While some individuals boldly defend their actions, others resort to desperate measures to conceal their wrongdoing.
Raveena R Tandon and Chandan Roy Sanyal deliver standout performances, adding depth and authenticity to their characters. Their portrayal of individuals grappling with the moral complexities of corruption adds layers of intrigue to the storyline.
The film unfolds as a straightforward courtroom drama with a plot that is both unique and timely. It centers around a marksheet scam orchestrated by a corrupt institution, Bihar University, where underprivileged students' marksheets are illicitly exchanged with those of privileged students. The scam is brought to light when the daughter of an autodriver bravely seeks justice in court, triggering a series of events that expose the depth of corruption within the system.
While the premise of the film is compelling, its execution leaves something to be desired. The treatment of the storyline is dry, and the overall execution feels average. Dialogues lack depth, and courtroom scenes fail to evoke the required intensity to fully engage the audience. However, despite these shortcomings, "Patna Shukla" manages to hold its own as a decent film, thanks to its refusal to indulge in unnecessary melodrama or preachiness.
What sets the film apart is its exploration of a relatively unexplored aspect of corruption-a marksheet scam-against the backdrop of Bihar's societal dynamics. This unique angle adds freshness to the narrative and serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive nature of corruption, even in seemingly mundane aspects of life.
One of the film's strengths lies in its authenticity. The characters feel real, their struggles relatable, and their motivations understandable. This authenticity helps ground the story in reality, making it all the more impactful for viewers.
Despite its shortcomings, "Patna Shukla" succeeds in delivering a thought-provoking message about the importance of standing up against corruption and seeking justice, even in the face of daunting odds. It serves as a reminder that change is possible, but it requires individuals to take a stand and speak out against injustice.
Available on Disney Hotstar, "Patna Shukla" is a film worth watching for its engaging storyline, stellar performances, and timely message. While it may not be perfect, its sincerity and earnestness shine through, making it a valuable addition to the cinematic landscape.

According to the storyline I heard in the upcoming Movie - Patna Shuklaa (Roll Number Scam), 1998 B. Sc. Same happened with my Marksheet in (Pure Science)-exam. My exam seat read in The Bhawanipur Educational Society College - Kolkata.
After knowing the result I was in frustration mode for a year. In the mean time, even if you make some mistakes; I made a big mistake not going to court. At that time, if I had challenged in the court, I might have got the entire account. Now except the fail marksheet and admit card of the exam, I don't have any information about that exam.
This is a true story.

I recently heard praise about this new film but I am sorry to say that it disappointed me not that it is bad but it is just too straightforward and standard nothing really felt tense it is just a classic good vs evil, David vs Goliath story in which the Goliath itself is not interesting enough which made even the course proceedings very slow. The mellow drama was in excess and I sometimes genuinely agree with th opposition that mrs Shukla was not giving any evidence regarding the case.

'Patna Shukla' presents Bihar as a backdrop-a state often steeped in stereotypes. The portrayal of lawlessness, bureaucratic chaos, and illogical systems can indeed perpetuate negative perceptions. However, it's crucial to recognize that no community is monolithic. Bihar, like any other region, is multifaceted, with vibrant culture, resilience, and progress.
By focusing solely on the absurdities, 'Patna Shukla' risks reinforcing a single narrative. It's essential to acknowledge the state's rich history, its contributions to literature, art, and social movements. While the film's intent may be satirical, it's crucial to avoid reducing an entire community to caricatures.
And of course, the Plot.. it has no logic whatsoever.
The judge took entire movie to get to the most logical first response.. Get those fffffff copies re checked.

Before making up my mind to watch it, I checked out its IMDB rating which gave a negative perspective. However, i thought of giving it a try and to find out myself why so low ratings.
If it would have been released like 25-30 years back, or even before, it could have still worked out. Now i am not saying there weren't good court room Hindi dramas available that time, but now things are different; people watch more realistic approach, or if not, adrenaline filled bursts.
I am no lawyer, but whatever i have heard or seen or found, it is a very tough and protocol oriented job. There is a code of conduct and one has to follow it one way or the other. The court decorum has to be maintained, no matter what. This was something in the movie that bothered me the most. One of the lamest, unrealistic, and no-decorum-followed court drama that I ever watched. You need to watch it yourself to understand it in real.
The second problem came with the easiness of the way the prosecutor handled the whole situation. The dealing between a best and an amateur lawyer in the city felt lazy and sluggish. The writers should have watched other court room dramas like Jolly LLB to understand how the heat between lawyers increase tensions in the peoples mind watching it.
The movie already felt like shaping to provide justice to the student. We all know that at the end the outcome should have been what was shown, but the situations to derive it felt lame, boring, melodramatic, and one-sided.
Overall, i will give it 3.
