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.

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 - Do Patti Star cast - Kajol, Kriti Sanon, Shaheer Sheikh

According to Wikipedia, it's a romantic thriller movie. But let me tell you, you will neither find romance nor thrill in this movie. It's garbage, you can say.

Kriti Sanon's debut as a producer, it is a cinematic catastrophe that defies its "romantic thriller" label. Prepare for a rollercoaster of disappointment, where romance is as scarce as a unicorn and thrill is as elusive as a ghost at a séance.

Kriti herself is the lone beacon of hope in this cinematic wasteland. Her dual roles as the feisty Soumya and the vulnerable Shailee are a masterclass in acting. It's almost as if she's channeling Meryl Streep and Jodie Foster simultaneously. Unfortunately, her stellar performance is overshadowed by the film's numerous shortcomings.

Shaheer Sheikh, a talented actor, seems to have been lured into a trap. His character is as flat as a pancake, leaving him with little to work with. The blame for this cinematic atrocity squarely lies with director Shashank Chaturvedi, who clearly doesn't know the difference between a good movie and a bad one.

And then there's Kajol. Her character is as confusing as a Rubik's Cube. One moment she's a fearless police officer, the next she's a meek lawyer. And in some scenes, she's just plain useless, getting bullied by Dhruv without so much as a whimper. It's like watching a superhero movie where the hero spends most of their time sitting on the sidelines.

In conclusion, "Do Patti" is a cinematic disaster that should be avoided at all costs. Unless, of course, you're a masochist who enjoys watching bad movies. Or, if you're a die-hard fan of Kriti Sanon or Kajol, you might find some solace in their performances. But for the rest of us, it's best to steer clear of this cinematic shipwreck.

* 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.
