Patna Shukla

Movie is available on Hotstar.

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.

Tanvi Shukla is a lawyer at the lower court and is leading a happy life with her husband and son. One day, Rinki Kumari approaches her to take up her case. Rinki is a 3rd year B. Sc student who believes she had done well yet was failed in the final exam. Tanvi uncovers the truth behind swapping of marks to undeserving candidates and poor underprivileged students being the easy target. Up against the rich and powerful, Tanvi fights for Rinki at the court. Will she be able to get her the justice she deserves and what other secrets get unraveled on the way, forms rest of the story.

The novel story resorts to a pedestrian screenplay filled with several melodramatic moments that make it look like an 90s film. The strength of the film apart from the story being novel is the performances and the actors definitely carry the film through. There is a reason why old school dramas have a way to be captivating even when the writing is deliberate and Patna Shuklla is another example of it. The tactics used by the opponent lawyer and the culprits are as predictable as the leading lady finding a way to continue her fight, yet the court scenes or even the moments her husband supporting her, leave their mark. Overall, Patna Shuklla makes up for a harmless watch, it is old school yet it almost delivers.

'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.

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.

These are the type of movies that you watch to forget them tried to give a message but not good enough to land it in the heart
