*Do Patti* is set in the fictional hill station of Devipur, where Inspector Vidya Jyothi (Kajol) becomes embroiled in mysterious occurrences involving Saumya (Kriti Sanon) and her husband Dhruv Sood (Shaheer Sheikh). The arrival of Saumya’s twin sister, Shailee (also played by Kriti Sanon), complicates matters, leading Vidya into a web of secrets and deceptions.

Written by Kanika Dhillon, who also co-produced the film with Kriti Sanon, *Do Patti* crafts a narrative that merges a classic Agatha Christie-style mystery with a powerful message against domestic abuse. The film underscores the resilience of women and their right to fight back against oppressive relationships.

Kajol’s portrayal of Vidya Jyothi, a steadfast cop with a legal background, is a standout. Her character embodies strength, independence, and a battle against the corrupt system, mirroring real-life challenges faced by women. Kajol’s subtle comedic timing adds nuance, making her performance multifaceted and memorable. The film even hints at the potential for future installments centered around her character.

Kriti Sanon’s dual role as Saumya and Shailee is bold, considering the challenge of sharing screen space with a veteran like Kajol. Sanon rises to the occasion, distinguishing between the reserved, trauma-ridden Saumya and the carefree, rebellious Shailee. The dynamic between the sisters feels authentic, capturing the essence of sibling relationships marked by love and rivalry. Sanon’s commitment to exploring deeper, more complex characters is evident in her performance.

Tanvi Azmi adds depth as the caring guardian of the sisters, while Brajendra Kala shines as the constable loyal to his female superior. Shaheer Sheikh, as the antagonist, delivers a solid performance, though his character could have benefited from more depth.

Visually, the film benefits from skillful CGI and camerawork, seamlessly blending scenes featuring both sisters. While the narrative holds several twists, seasoned viewers may predict the climax. Nevertheless, *Do Patti* remains engaging, thanks to the powerful performances, especially by Kajol and Kriti Sanon.

The film is now streaming on Netflix, offering a blend of suspense and a meaningful commentary on resilience and empowerment.
