Hi, Guyzz! I just watched Netflix’s new Indian thriller ‘Do Patti,’ and I am ready to spill all the juicy details about this sister drama that everyone’s been talking about. So grab your favorite snack as we dig into what’s awesome and what kinda falls flat in this wild emotional ride.
The Story in a Nutshell
‘Do Patti’ revolves around two sisters having a complicated relationship, exploring themes of domestic violence, family dynamics, and the complexities of sibling rivalry. If you’re wondering whether to hit that play button, let me break it down for you.
What Makes It Worth Watching?
- Kriti Sanon Steals the Show:
Just on a personal level, can we talk about Kriti Sanon? She absolutely kills it in this film, playing dual roles! How she would differentiate from the two sisters is actually impressive. I know who’s who at one glance through her body language and expressions, and there’s no dialogue needed. It is a great relief to see her portray darker and more complex characters, and she’s totally proved that she’s got some serious acting chops. - Important Social Message:
The movie really deserves some props for dealing with domestic violence, especially in Indian households. It’s such a sensitive issue that definitely needs more focus, and the movie isn’t afraid to show the tough stuff victims deal with. The film really stands out when it dives into how abuse victims often feel stuck in their situations. - Shaheer Sheikh’s Big Break
Hey, TV lovers, catching Shaheer Sheikh-you know, Arjun from Mahabharat?—on the silver screen is quite great. He carries a strong presence and totally shows that he can definitely keep up in the movies as well.
Where It Fails?
- Too Fast Storyline:
Okay, so here’s where it starts to get messy. The pacing is like a car that’s having brake problems – really slow at the beginning, then outta nowhere it’s speeding to the finish. The plot twists are cool and all, but they feel jammed into the end of the movie, making you wish they’d spaced things out a bit better. - Bollywood-ized Drama:
The movie fully sinks into all those classic Bollywood tropes. The courtroom scenes (no offense, judge!) are very dramatic and kinda fake if you’ve ever watched some real court drama or good legal shows. And all that “villain has a change of heart” does? Yeah, we’ve all done that!
Hey, we all love Kajol, but honestly, her performance here just doesn’t cut it. Her accent kinda jumps around, and some scenes come off as over the top. It feels like you’re watching someone really trying to squeeze into a role that needed a more subtle touch.
The Bottom Line
Is ‘Do Patti’ perfect? Nah.
Is it worth your time? Totally, yes!
Even with its flaws, the movie has enough to keep you hooked. Kriti Sanon’s performance is a highlight that makes it worth watching, and the serious message about domestic violence gives it some depth, turning what could have been just another thriller into something more.
If you want a perfect legal drama or a killer thriller, this probably isn’t for you. But if you’re down for a heartfelt story about sisterhood, family stuff, and redemption – with some solid acting mixed in then definitely check out ‘Do Patti’ streaming on Netflix.
