Pataakha

Pataakha is a 2018 Bollywood drama, helmed by Vishal Bhardwaj. The movie stars Sanya Malhotra, Radhika Madan, Sunil Grover and Vijay Raaz in lead roles. The movie is produced by Dheeraj Wadhawan, Ajay Kapoor, Rekha Bhardwaj and Vishal Bhardwaj under the banner KYTA Productions Pvt. Ltd. and Vishal Bhardwaj Films Pvt. Ltd. and is distributed by B4U Motion Pictures Pvt. Ltd. Pataakha is based on Charan Singh Pathik's short story 'Do Behnein', which depicts the story of an emotional bond between two siblings. Story In Details: Champa aka 'Badki' (Radhika Madan) and Genda aka 'Chutki' (Sanya Malhotra), they are anything but dainty and docile. With their haystack hair, rough and coarse, not-so pearly whites stained with smoking beedis and filthy language, the girls are flammable and unbashed and can pick up a fight at the drop of a hat. Their razor sharp tongue spew acidic words at each other at supersonic speed and 'gobar-fights' are no big-deal. Meanwhile, there's their nosy neighbour named Dipper (Sunil Grover) who never misses an opportunity to spark off a war between the two sisters. Chutki dreams of going to school so that she can open one of her own. Badki on the other hand, wants to stay out of school and start her own dairy business. Amidst their warring ambitions, the two sisters feel the first rush of young romance when they come across their suitors. One is an engineer while the other works in the army and has a penchant for speaking in English. Things take a more dramatic turn when their father (Vijay Raaz) who needs money to pay off a bribe in order to save his mining business, is left with no other option but to get one of the daughters married to a rich widower Patel (Saanand Verma). In a twist, both the girls runaway with their respective boyfriends only to land up in the same house as sister-in-laws. Like it's said in the film, 'Hum Apni Dushman To Chunn Saktay Hai Par Padosi Nahin, Rishtay To Chunn Saktay Hai Par Rishtay Daar Nahin.' The movie has its music composed by Vishal Bhardwaj. Ranjan Palit has wielded the camera for Pataakha.
