Plot:
As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for quality entertainment and years of personal experience navigating complex relationships and societal norms, I must say that “Do Patti” left me feeling somewhat underwhelmed.
Saumya and Shailee are twin sisters, both portrayed by Kriti Sanon, who were orphaned at a young age and raised by their caregiver affectionately known as Maa ji. Due to past traumas, Saumya develops post-traumatic stress disorder, necessitating additional care. Unable to handle less attention compared to her sister, Shailee spends much of her childhood away from home in a boarding school. Upon returning home years later, Shailee harbors a plan to seize everything from Saumya, including Dhruv, the son of a powerful minister and a skilled paraglider, who happens to be Saumya’s new love interest.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but ponder: Will Saumya win Dhruv’s heart or will Shailee claim him, perhaps seeking revenge against her sister? The intriguing plot thickens as Inspector Vidya Jyothi (played by Kajol) delves into a perilous case of domestic abuse implicating Dhruv and his spouse. Who among them is innocent and who bears the guilt? The title and Dhruv’s profession as a daring paraglider, along with his father’s influential position as a minister, all add layers to this captivating tale. To unravel the mystery, make sure to catch Do Patti!
What works for Do Patti
Do Patti’s premise of a pair of twos (the two sisters) taking on an ace; a ‘top guy’ (Dhruv) is poetic. The title of the movie, thus sits really well. Kriti Sanon looks glamorous and is a treat to watch. Her chemistry with Shaheer Sheikh is crackling. The songs of the movie are peppy and melodious. Ranjhan is the pick of the songs. While the movie is all over the place, the effort to make a fast paced, saucy and engaging all quadrant film is visible and that’s what filmmakers must strive towards.
What doesn’t work for Do Patti
The film “Patti” appears disorganized, with numerous scenes that don’t contribute to the overall message of the movie. There’s no coherence or consistency in its narrative. The songs are haphazardly inserted. The storyline attempts to blend elements of an emotional sibling story, an investigation-thriller, a courtroom-drama, and a powerful social commentary all at once, yet fails to excel or convincingly deliver in any of these aspects. The plot is contrived, the conflicts manufactured, and they don’t benefit the film. The movie ends up justifying an unjust court ruling in an irrational manner. This approach could potentially inspire complainants to stage situations for court validation, which is problematic. Given the delicate subject matter of domestic abuse, such reckless portrayal should not be accepted as standard practice.

Performances in Do Patti:
In her dual roles of Saumya and Shailee, Kriti Sanon exudes elegance and manages to keep the two characters distinct. Kajol portrays Inspector VJ, yet her accent throughout the film seems contrived. Shaheer Sheikh as Dhruv is convincing, displaying both charm and eeriness, while also maintaining a strong screen presence. Tanvi Azmi’s character, Maa ji, has an unusual role that makes her performance seem unconvincing. The other supporting actors in the film, like Brijendra Kala, are satisfactory.
Final Verdict of Do Patti:
Patti’s movie appears to lack musical sensitivity, and the filmmakers could have been more mindful when conveying their intended message. The film’s lack of direction and inconsistency are significant concerns. However, if there’s one reason to watch it, it would be for its captivating cast.
Do Patti is now streaming on Netflix.
