Do Patti

This movie seemed half cooked biriyani to me. As if trying to make biriyani with only 2/3 spices. They could have done so much if the material was well cooked, it just felt flat. The only thing I liked in this movie is Shaheer Sheikh. I am used to seeing him being the good guy, he surprised me. Loved to hate him. Kriti could have done so much better. Shailee Kriti- we have seen before, Repetitive. And Saumya Kriti couldn't convince me. And the story that Tanvi Azmi said to Kajol, that was not explained later, was it sister rivalry or was it guilt? Kajol did a mediocre job. All in all i only liked Shaheer Sheikh seeing in negative light.

* 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.

The movie should please masses for whom it is meant. Stories of identical twin sisters one simple, timid, introverted and the other clever, daring, bad were seen in quite a few movies. The contrast between both characters makes a nice basis for plot twists and surprises and it also allows the actor to showcase her talent in two contrasting roles.

This movie sticks to this popular narrative and keeps the audience glued to the screen even though a few sequences lack credibility. It's all about the good girl bad girl syndrome seen many times on the screen. At places the scenes are trite and formulaic.

Kriti Sanon makes the best of the two characterisations and does impress in the diverse characters. She has done well in both avatars, the neurotic and the one with swagger. Shaheer Sheikh plays the young and dashing businessman who marries the timid Kriti but he has a horrible temper leading to domestic violence. The movie depicts him as a wife beating monster and clearly misogynistic. Karol plays a police Inspector cum lawyer with sincerity who not only investigates the case but also argues in court. Is this credible? The court scenes also lack conviction.

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.

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.
