Do Patti - Same old story but fantastic performance by Kriti Sanon
Kriti Sanon is sure on the way to create stories that actresses aren't usually offered. The otherwise demure Kriti takes on a challenging role in 'Do Patti', which was also supposed to be her maiden production venture if I am not wrong, and has passed with flying colours. Double role isn't new to Hindi cinema. We have had iconic films such as Seeta Geeta and Chaalbaaz - where sisters come together to fight the evil one, and have had films like Alone too where one of the twin sisters is evil herself. Kriti's film falls in the second category for the most part. As Saumya, she's pretty saumya, and as Shailee, she's a firecracker and trouble maker, but oh man, too hot to handle for sure!
You spend most of your time loving Shailee's style but hating her personality, and the story successfully builds a soft corner in your heart for Saumya. And of course, there is a handsome man who they fight for - Shaheer Sheikh, TV's heartthrob who has done an incredible job as Dhruv Sood. His character is very different to the reputation he has built over the years. The good boy is an abuser in this narrative. Hard to believe na? There is no doubt that both Kriti and Shaheer have done incredible job as actors, but I was kinda disappointed with Kajol. Screen timing or presence - both couldn't leave an impression for me.
The story is engaging, a tad bit confusing until they start to unravel the knots in the climax. I liked the messaging, the intention, but the screenplay could have been a bit more strong and crisp. But for a newbie producer like Kriti, it is sure a brave choice, which I'd commend her for. As far as the movie goes, telling even a percent more would hammer your experience, hence, I'd just say that the film deserves one watch for sure! I'd give it 2.5 out of 5 if I was reviewing it.
PS: Kriti, you go girl! Can't wait to see what's next from you as a filmmaker.
