Synopsis

Do Patti

The film opens with Saumya and Dhruv at Devipur village police station in Uttarakhand, where Saumya accuses Dhruv of attempting to kill her. The story flashes back to an earlier incident when police officer Vidya Jyothi (VJ) receives a call regarding domestic abuse but finds it dismissed as a false alarm. However, Maaji, a maternal figure to Saumya, privately reveals that she had placed the call out of concern, explaining that Saumya gets brutally abused by her husband, Dhruv, though Saumya decides to remain silent about it. Through Maaji's account, we learn that Dhruv, the son of a minister and owner of a paragliding company in Devipur, met Saumya, who developed feelings for him. When Saumya introduces him to her family, her identical twin sister, Shailee, becomes infatuated with Dhruv. Having been the focus of care due to numerous phobias and mental health issues since their mother's death, Saumya has always been prioritised, which now fuels Shailee's resentment. Dhruv and Shailee start dating, but due to Shailee's unpredictable and bold behaviour, Dhruv starts having second thoughts, and a business deal gone wrong causes his father to pressurise him, get a hold of himself and find a homely spouse. Consequently, Dhruv marries Saumya, though Shailee continues to pursue him, causing conflict. VJ learns of the sisters' rivalry and Dhruv's violent behaviour. Maaji recounts that whenever Saumya suggests having a child, Dhruv's temper flares, often leading to physical abuse.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 1.5

There’s enough here for a juicy, substantive drama. But the unpacking turns more into an unravelling, mainly because the writing is shallow, and the characters lack depth. This is disappointing, given that Dhillon had come up with the deliciously wicked ‘Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba’ just a few months back.

Rediff

Do Patti's lack of inspiration shows in how tamely it introduces its characters. There's not even a shred of authenticity in the milieu, save for Saumya's winter red nose every now and then in a scenario saddled by Anurag Saikia's hyper, overworked background music. You'd think there's some quirk in Kajol raising a pet bunny; there's none. He's as sporadic as Saumya's dance teacher or Dhruv's influential daddy. There's Vivek Mushran too as Saumya-Shailee's uncle doing nothing except staying mum. AWOL existence is not its only crime. The reasoning behind Saumya and Shailee's animosity is as piddly as is its sudden turnabout. Do Patti struggles to give substance to their conflict and contrasts. Even when we come to see there's more than meets the eye, the lack of conviction is appalling.
