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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
