The Great Indian Kapil Show, season 2 has been struggling for viewership ever since the show started for the second time, with Alia Bhatt opening this season with her Jigra team. However, nothing has been in place for Kapil Sharma and his team, despite delivering some good episodes.

Blame it on the change of the platform that is not getting the audiences this show targets or blame it on the monotonous tone of the show, but things have not been on the brighter end for the chat show.

The sixth episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show welcomed Kajol, Kriti Sanon and Shaheer Sheikh along with Do Patti writer Kanika Dhillon. While it was another snoozefest with everyone trying superhard to tickle some bone, nothing has been tackled propely it seems.

Another week has passed, and the Indian series continues fighting it out for viewership in the web space. Just like last week, there has been a lot of shuffling as some have climbed up the ladder while others have slipped down the list. To begin with, The Great Indian Kapil Show has lost its top spot, while Do Patti has made a smashing debut in the Top 10. Scroll below for the October Ott Verdict (Week 4).

Ormax has released its latest data for October 21-27, 2024. There have been some surprising changes, as Bhuvan Bam’s Taaza Khabar Season 2 and Ananya Panday‘s Ctrl, along with Gutar Gu Season 2 and Citadel Diana, have been pushed out of the Top 10.

Do Patti (Two Cards) is a film with an identity crisis, in that neither director Shashanka Chaturvedi nor writer/co-producer Kanika Dhillon seem to be entirely sure of its primary instinct.

Is it a twisted tale of identical twins, one good and one bad? Or is it one more hill station mystery? (For some reason, streaming platforms seem enamored with these — think of Netflix’s Aranyak or Mrs. Serial Killer, Voot’s Candy or ZEE5’s Rautu Ka Raaz. Perhaps the hope is that the beauteous mountain views will distract from the bumpy storytelling.)

Is this an impassioned plea against domestic violence, or a courtroom drama in which it’s difficult to decide who played whom? Is it an exploration of the nature of justice, and of whether the letter of the law or the spirit of the law is more important?

Do Patti attempts to be all of these,...

Very few Indian shows have left their mark in the sitcom genre, and one such is Fir. Led by Kavita Kaushik, the show went on to gain a cult status over the years. Though it went off the air several years ago, it is still a part of discussions, and time and again, we come across rumors that the makers are planning to return to the small screen with the same cast. Amid such a demand for the show, we’ll be taking a look at interesting trivia about it!

The beginning of the cult

Even before Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, in 2006, this Indian cop-based sitcom started its small screen journey. While Kavita was a part of the show right from the beginning, the actors playing the Senior Head Officer kept changing. Gopi Bhalla,...

Do Patti Sequel: Will Kanika Dhillon Talk Sense This Time? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Kriti Sanon, Kajol and Shaheer Sheikh’s Netflix film Do Patti has been receiving mixed responses on social media and amidst critics. While some called it a brilliant thriller, others called it predictable. But everyone agreed on one part – it was Kriti Sanon‘s career best.

The film did not end on a cliffhanger, but speculations about a sequel are obvious since there was a lot of unfinished business in this tale of two twin sisters who loved the same man played by Shaheer Sheikh.

Do Patti Sequel – A Possibility!

Kanika Dhillon weaved a story that dealt with a lot of issues – emotional abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, jealousy, sibling rivalry, mental health, and more. However, the only problem with the story was the casual Feminism that stopped making sense after a point of time!

Trending Surbhi Jyoti...

Plenty of Hindi movies over the years have had twins as the lead characters. Some had comedic twists, while there were many others that functioned as serious dramas, like Appu Raja, starring Kamal Haasan. Do Patti, the Netflix India Original, is yet another movie with twin characters in the lead, but this time the siblings are not on good terms right from their childhood. There are some characters who support one twin, while some others side with the younger twin. What will happen when the sisters clash?

Saumya

Kriti Sanon, as Saumya, is one of the twins who, in the beginning of the film, files an attempted murder case against her husband, Dhruv Sood. Saumya is the timid and sensitive one among the two who was deeply affected by her mother’s death. It was not mentioned, but it is assumed her mother’s death triggered anxiety and depression in her.

This week, the Great Indian Kapil Show hosted Do Patti’s cast and crew. Kapil Sharma, on his show, welcomed Kajol, Shaheer Sheikh, and producer Kanika Dhillon, along with co-producer and the main lead of the film, Kriti Sanon. The episode started with lukewarm giggles until it was completely hijacked for laughter and puns!

Singham Again Attacks!

And guess who attacked this episode featuring Do Patti’s cast? None other than Kajol’s husband Ajay Devgn’s upcoming cast, Singham Again! There was everyone – Tiger Shroff 2.0, Jackie Shroff 2.0, Akshay Kumar 2.0, and finally Ajay Devgn 2.0.

The show has been obsessed with Krushna Abhishek’s mimicry of Jaggu Dada, and while it was entertaining initially, it has now been overly abused! Meanwhile, Kiku Sharda struggled, imitating Tiger Shroff!

When it comes to films based on the ‘two sisters’ premise, few can rival Kim Jee-Woon’s 2003 masterpiece, “A Tale of Two Sisters.” Regardless of genre, it remains a cinematic landmark. Enter “Do Patti” (2024), Netflix’s latest release led and produced by Kriti Sanon, and starring Kajol alongside beloved television star Shaheer Sheikh. While the film’s success or critical reception is a topic for another day, our focus here is its narrative. Here we will be exploring how domestic violence escalates into tragic consequences and what actions Saumya and Shailee take to end it.

Do Patti (2024) Plot Summary & Movie Synopsis:

“Do Patti” opens with a harrowing paragliding accident, where a couple is precariously stranded on a bridge, entangled in the parachute canopy. The police arrive swiftly, led by Officer Vidya Jyoti, to rescue them. Once safe, Saumya, the wife, reveals a startling accusation. She claims her husband,...

Do Patti is a 2024 Netflix original film starring Kajol Devgan as a righteous cop/lawyer and Kriti Sanon as a pair of twin sisters, who are dealing with the issue of domestic violence. When a criminal case is filed against a man, a Pandora’s box of ugly truths and secrets comes out. The police officer must find out if he’s really guilty or whether the case was manipulated.

What was Saumya’s statement to the police?

Do Patti began with Saumya and her husband facing a dangerous fall from a paraglider after they took off from the mountains. Saumya’s husband, Dhruv Sood, was the owner of an adventure sports company that carried out paragliding, among other sports, in the mountain town of Devipur. Saumya and Dhruv were barely rescued, and the former broke down out of genuine fear. Dhruv was arrested in no time, and Saumya,...

“Do Patti” is an Indian movie starring Kriti Sanon, Kajol, and Shaheer Sheikh. It is directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi.

Netflix has released “Do Patti,” a Bollywood-style drama that delves into the challenging topic of domestic violence in India and the struggles some women face in reporting it. The film, which begins almost like a thriller, evolves into a love story before ultimately transforming into a near-judicial drama centered on the issue of domestic violence, this time focusing on the story of two twin sisters.

Plot Summary

Shailee and Saumya are two very different sisters: one is outgoing and wild, while the other is reserved and introspective. When Dhruv Sood enters their lives, the two sisters grow apart because he chooses the wild and party-loving sister. However, nothing is as it seems, and Dhruv’s charm soon reveals a very different side.

About the Film

Although it is not a major production,...

Kriti Sanon’s journey in the Bollywood film industry has been nothing short of remarkable. She made her debut with the Telugu film Nenokkadine (2014) before capturing widespread attention with her first Bollywood project, Heropanti (2014), which earned her a Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. Since then, Sanon has steadily climbed the ranks, showcasing her versatility across various genres from romantic comedies to serious dramas. Her compelling performances in notable films like Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017) and Mimi (2021) have solidified her status as one of the leading actresses in the industry. Her impressive range has not gone unnoticed, earning her accolades including the prestigious National Film Award and several nominations for her outstanding contributions to cinema. Her latest venture, Do Patti has her playing alongside Kajol marking their second collaboration after Dilwale (2015). With Do Patti, Sanon demonstrates her ability to tackle serious themes of domestic violence. With a growing list of successful projects,...

Kanika Dhillon’s oeuvre seems to suggest a resurgence of the pulpy nature of storytelling as well as a hearkening back to noirish or neo-noirish sensibilities. But even within those pulpy storytelling tropes, Dhillon also tries to retrofit important social issues, especially concerning women. If there is one thing Dhillon should be praised for, it’s writing scripts for female characters with apparently strong characterization as well as providing variety beyond the usual constraints of commercial cinema.

I say apparently, and my tonality in the above paragraph carries a tone of uncertainty because this film is reliant on a screenplay that feels like it is unsure of what it wants to be. Ostensibly about the battle of wits between two twin sisters (both played by Kriti Sanon) and how the more outgoing and jealous twin wants the life of her sister to be completely destroyed as they both are attracted...

When after watching Jagmohan Mundhra’s Provoked at a special private screening with Aishwarya Rai in 2006, I had turned to her to ask how she looked so convincing as a victim of domestic violence, she had smiled wanly and replied, “Because I’ve been through this.”

The guy she was dating her had pushed her down the stairs once, just like Saumya Sood’s husband in Do Patti, a crackling hissing free-falling thriller-styled fire-and-ice drama about twin sisters who resolve to take the lout in their own hands when the law fails.

I don’t wants to give away too much of Kannika Dhillon’s nimbly written script. Suffice it to say, Do Patti has its highs(the skygliding scenes help) and lows. While the “twist” in the climax is like blowing smoke rings with an extinguished cigarette , the rest of the film has its inspired interludes, especially in the...

“Start watching horror instead of family dramas, and you might start understanding life better,” a loosely translated version of a piece of dialogue Kajol says to her (almost) stupid assistant when discussing police work somewhere in the first 10 minutes of Bollywood’s latest mystery thriller, Do Patti. I agree with her; there’s always a lot to learn from horror, culturally, about the era, and more. But I digress. I bring this up because the line delivery and the situation definitely got me laughing a little bit. But soon after, I found myself scratching my head all the way through the film. Not from confusion though; no, I wasn’t wondering how to solve this case; I was simply wondering why. I must admit I was excited to see Kriti Sanon play a double role opposite television heartthrob Shaheer Sheikh. But somewhere through the second act of the film, I...
