Do Patti Film Audit Summation:

DO PATTI is about twin sisters and a police officer. Kriti Sanon plays Saumya, who lives with Tanvi Azmi, her caretaker, in Devpur, Uttarakhand. Shailee, who plays Saumya's twin and is played by Kriti Sanon, is away at college. Since she was a child, Shailee has been envious of Saumya because she was more sensitive and had health issues. Dhruv Sood, played by Shaheer Sheikh, owns an adventure sports company in the town, and Saumya meets him. Dhruv assists Saumya with moving past her apprehension about flying while at the same time paragliding and she succumbs to him. This is when Shailee returns. She gets the impression that Saumya loves Dhruv. She starts flirting with Dhruv as a way to get even with her. She attracts Dhruv as well, and the two of them start an affair. Be that as it may, Dhruv before long becomes weary of Shailee's foolish way of behaving. In addition, his politician father insists that he marry a homely girl and asks him not to date Shailee. Dhruv therefore asks Saumya to marry him. Shailee promises to make her life miserable, and Saumya concurs. Dhruv also commits acts of domestic violence. Vidya Jyothi Kanwar (Kajol) joins the Devpur Police Station amid the chaos. She decides to assist Saumya because she can tell what she's going through. The subsequent events shape the remainder of the film.

Do Patti Film Audit Rundown:

The story by Kanika Dhillon is intriguing and has a touch of mystery. The screenplay by Kanika Dhillon is decent and keeps the audience interested. The dialogues by Kanika Dhillon are sharp.

The direction provided by Shashanka Chaturvedi is not up to par. The narrative's flashbacks and back-and-forth does, to give credit where credit is due, keep viewers engaged. The first meeting between Saumya and Dhruv, Shailee and Dhruv, the chaos at Saumya and Dhruv's wedding, and other scenes stand out. There is a perspective on domestic violence that is quite devastating. It's upsetting to watch Dhruv brutally assault Saumya while a sad song plays in the background.

On the other hand, certain character traits are not well established, which reduces the impact. Saumya's mental health, for instance, could have been better explained. It would have provided viewers with an intriguing layer and sparked their suspicions about her guilt. Without this aspect, it is already clear that Dhruv alone is to blame. A portion of viewers will be surprised by a twist in the pre-climax. Again, the character trait was poorly developed, so the impact was limited. In other words, the characters, phobias, and other aspects of Saumya needed more work from the creators. It is also perplexing to observe that the judge merely examines the medications and accepts the lawyer's assertions regarding Saumya's mental state. In fact, the judge would bring the doctor to the courtroom to learn more about the patient's condition. Last but not least, Shailee's sudden change of heart does not appear to be natural.

With grace, Kriti Sanon plays both roles. Fortunately, the design of both characters makes it easy to tell them apart, and Kriti's performance makes them seem even more distinct. She underplays well as Saumya, and she is quite self-assured as Shailee. Even though Kajol gets less screen time in the first half of the show, she still dominates it with her performance and strong presence. Shaheer Sheikh is well-mannered and appears dashing. He will be adored by viewers when he first appears, but they will also hate him when he reveals his true colors. Brijendra Kala (Katoch) and Tanvi Azmi provide competent support. Rohit Tiwari (Niren), Prachee Shah Paandya (Shobhna Pundir), and Saumya and the father of Shailee) do well in supporting roles. Deepak; Vivek Mushran; The chacha of Saumya and Shailee is thrown away. Kumar's Chittranjan Tripathy lawyer) has an impact. Tyagi's Manoj Bakshi; Mohit Chauhan (Prithvi Singh Sood; tourism minister) makes people laugh. Sohaila Kapur (Justice Aruna Goel), Dhruv's father, and Dhruv are decent people.

Do Patti's film soundtrack and other technical details:

The music by Sachet-Parampara is average. Foot-tapping is Thhayein Thhayein. Jaadu and Raanjhan are soulful songs that won't last long. The narrative is well integrated with Maaiyaa. There is no Akhiyaan De Kol in the movie. The background score by Anurag Saikia is novel and powerful.

The cinematography by Mart Ratassepp is both straightforward and breathtaking. The production design created by Nikhil Kowale is not genuine. According to the requirements of the character, Sanam Ratansi's costumes for Shailee are bold and glamorous, while Sheetal Iqbal Sharma's costumes for Saumya are straightforward. The other actors' costumes, designed by Radhika Mehra, are appropriate. Openslate's VFX are a little tacky, especially in the paragliding scenes, but Riyaz Shaikh, Habib Sayed, Craig Macrae, and Parvez Shaikh's action is realistic. The editing by Naman Arora and Hemal Kothari is fair.

Conclusion of the Do Patti movie review:

Do Patti, as a whole, has a fascinating subject and strong performances from Kriti Sanon and Kajol. However, the film suffers because of the script's loose ends and poor direction.
