Do Patti

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.

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.

Please don't watch it with a lot of expectation, It is the same movie with about the story story line but acting was up to the par. Shaheer Sheikh was good but kriti just killed with her expressions , Kajol ma'am with her instincts leading the role. I must appreciate the set, if you will closely notice in this movie , you will find many things in the binary with some and bad ( mostly materialistic things ) I don't want to give spoilers but you can watch and observe it. That was beautifully carved in this movie.

So overall we can say its good movie on the scale of 10, we can put it on 6. Happy watching.

Could have been better with potential starcast.

Basic criteria for releasing on OTT is that it should have slangs even from main leads (BC, MC etc), Is it really embedded as our daily vocabulary?

"Do patti" tackles the sensitive subject of domestic violence but falls short in its execution. The film attempts to shed light on a crucial issue, yet its treatment lacks depth and nuance. Characters often come across as one-dimensional, failing to evoke genuine empathy or connection. The dialogue feels forced, and the pacing undermines the gravity of the topic. Rather than delivering a powerful message, the film's presentation feels superficial and lacks conviction. While the intentions may be commendable, the overall impact is diluted, leaving viewers wanting a more authentic and compelling exploration of such a critical issue.

It has way too many plot twists that ruin the story. Although the beginning is interesting, the constant surprises make it hard to connect with the characters. By the end, instead of being excited, viewers feel confused. This film shows that sometimes it's better to keep things simple for a better story.

Movie name should be "One Quarter" instead of "Do Patti". How the narrator gulped one quarter before describing the story of twins sisters made me feel that this movie has been written after many quarters. Good plot with no script, third class direction, third class screenplay and worst dialogue. Kajol is confidently expressing herself in the Haryanvi language. They presented the court in such a way that it seemed like it was the "Mayka". I was surprised here that an IPS officer who is a lawyer is also doing advocacy and also doing his duty in IPS. Kriti and Shaheer perform well. Further more the hope of climax is created at the end but turns out to be fuss bomb.
