Do Patti Review: A K-Serial Disguised as a Film

Plot Overview

Imagine the scenic hills of Uttarakhand, paragliders floating in the sky, and two twin sisters, Saumya and Shailee, played by the ever-charming Kriti Sanon. From the get-go, you know this isn’t going to be your typical small-town tale of sibling love. Oh no, these twins are at each other’s throats—literally and figuratively. And what’s the prize they’re both fighting over? None other than Dhruv Sood (Shaheer Sheikh), a baby-faced guy with a rather aggressive streak. Clearly, this love triangle has more turbulence than the paragliding.

Enter Kajol as Vidya Jyoti (or VJ), a no-nonsense cop with an accent that will keep you guessing, and her mission? To unravel the chaos caused by the sibling rivalry and Dhruv’s questionable actions. There’s some mystery, a bit of action, and enough drama to keep things moving, but it’s never quite the nail-biter it promises to be.

Kriti Sanon deserves credit for juggling two roles—good twin Saumya and the rebellious Shailee. And let’s just say, she’s more comfortable in her “good girl” shoes than as the troublemaker. Dhruv’s character is… well, let’s just say his love language is violence, and his daddy issues only add fuel to the fire. Saumya’s bruises and Shailee’s heartbreak come together in a way that’s messy but not quite thrilling.

While there are moments where it feels like Do Patti might really dive into deep, dark territory, it doesn’t quite get there. Kajol’s cop act feels a bit too familiar, and the stakes never really rise high enough. In short, this isn’t your typical edge-of-your-seat thriller—it’s more of a scenic trip through sibling rivalry with a few speed bumps along the way. The moral of the story? Don’t fall for the same guy your sister’s into—especially if that guy is Dhruv Sood.

Final Verdict

Alright, buckle up! Do Patti is like ordering a spicy dish at a restaurant, but instead, you get mildly flavored butter chicken. It’s tasty, sure, but where’s the kick? Kriti Sanon serves up a double dose of twin trouble, switching between the sweet and spicy sisters with ease, but the movie itself? It’s more like a lukewarm adventure through the hills of Uttarakhand.

Kajol’s cop act is solid, though her accent has more twists than the actual plot. And Dhruv, the guy who’s caught between the twins, has the charm of a guy who orders pineapple on pizza—some love it, others… not so much.

If you’re in it for the breathtaking views and some classic family drama, Do Patti delivers. But if you’re expecting jaw-dropping twists and turns, well, it’s more of a gentle ride than a rollercoaster. Still, for a laid-back watch, it’s worth the trip! Just don’t expect too many surprises.
