Will keep it short.

You won't regret watching this movie and is definitely a Paisa wasool movie.

Sanya & Radhika have taken this film to another level. The idea for the story was great and could have been a brilliant short film story too. But the screenplay was above average. Not bad nor great. But am very happy that here is a film with a good story line but no male leads. It's driven by 2 female characters and the fact that the film is not about rape victim, daughter fighting to prove what she is to her parents/ husband, a lonely woman in a man's world etc,. This is full on woman vs woman, sister vs sister, great acting vs great acting. Kudos to both the actresses but Vijay Raaz doesn't vanish in between these two girls. He performs what he does best. Sunil Grover is as usual anywhere. Happy that Vishal is still Vishal.

A film worthy of watching again.

Besides the conventional storytelling, what works in the closing section of the movie is the way how the tales of two sisters remained compelling connected even after all the melodrama and the decisions of staying far from each other. Conversion disorder is present when we don't want to face the realities around us so we unconsciously decide to stop sensing and perceiving some realities. It's refreshing to get a touch of conversion disorder in the story, of course rarely used in the cinema. I would recommend watching the movie, it's mostly fun and touch of humor.

I said this is a must watch for real cinema lovers because of brilliantly they have done it. It is one of the best film of the year technical and performance wise. The screenplay falls short overall. The film starts off very well and continues it's pace till interval. After interval, film tries to continues it's pace but it falls short. Vishal Bhardwaj did an excellent job and proves he's one of the best director in Bollywood right now. All the cast did an excellent job. Overall, Pataakha is worth watching. It won't disappoint you.

Acting of two sisters are amazing . Loved the song "ek Tero balma " . Full haryanvi tone.

Maja aa gya ... must watch

There isn't one clear premise. But, this fable, parable will keep you engaged throughout in general. The performances by Sunil Grover, Radhika Madan and Sanya Malhotra are absolutely fantastic. Radhika Madan is such a find. And Sanya matches her step for step in likeability, performance, pitch, tone. Beautiful. Sunil is the male find of the year. What a magnetic artist. The background music was also lovely. The recurring motifs help keep the film afloat despite the lack of a clear premise.

The one love song was gorgeous as usual.

Good watch,object of social discrepancy and love.N narration between two sister but narrate social violence,family violence and love

It says the story of two sisters who fights all the time, a father who tries to keep it together, a poisonous friend who makes them fight. The story is predictable but the scripting, direction and acting makes the movie worth your time. Do not expect a great movie. But if you've got free time, then go for it. Everything was going fine until the second half. Then the movie got silly. One time watchable.

Just watched it as nothing else was available. But as the movie goes on, it rides on me. Felt like all are happening in front of me in real rather than a movie.

Acting were awesome by all characters. A Must watch.

Tone, Script & Story: The story is of two sisters jo ek dusre ko ek aankh nahi bhaate. The thing is their rivalry is keeping them going in the long run. At the end of story they understand this and get their forever peace.

The story is not that appealing but the genre, action comedy is. The fights between the sisters and description by Sunil are what is appealing.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The village, the school, the dairy, the mine, the mela, etc are captured well. Music: Music is good, it goes well with the movie. Acting: Acting is fine too.

Final Verdict: Be cool like Sunil Grover.

Nice movie

great message from film , can watch this movie again and againn

The movie is different in its own way. The best part of the movie is acting. Hard to name even a single character who didn't live upto the role, and of course, the two sisters were amazing! Vijay Raaz as usual was outstanding.. Overall a great entertainer movie..

Pataakha is the story of sisters who love to hate each other.

This isn't your average sibling rivalry; this is passionate and spiteful hatred for your kin.

The sisters literally want to strangle and choke the life out of each other. This strange sibling relationship forms the crux of Vishal Bhardwaj's film, where the Rajasthani language and the rustic setting present a side of Rajasthan that you haven't seen before.

Vishal Bhardwaj, as he always does with his films, has tried to put many quirky spins into this comedy.

The music is rustic, but very pleasing. He has also provided an interesting background score. During the second half, as the film briefly explores a psychological reason for the sisters' tendency to fight, the sci-fi sounding background music adds a delightful touch to the proceedings. But for all its wonderful and creative touches,

Pataakha still feels like a story that stretches a short concept, for a little too long.

Artists acting background and support artists are too good. nice and original story but the certain situational scene is being repeated and repeated over and over again and again till the end of the movie..

Set is on a small village...story is about daily war b/w two sister... awesome script, acting & direction...

The movie about the two sisters champa and. Ganda (marry gold) is a movie about there rivalry yfrom childhood to adulthood. It takes time to catch the accent but the movie is a thorough delight to watch... The story is simple and its like you see through it from the beginning but the dialogue writing is on the point.. The acting is top notch from every cast member..

But like every other movie now a days.. Its a one time definitely theater watch...

They fight. They are feisty. They hate each other. Their father is a poor bloke who loves them but keeps them from fighting each other. They are two passionate sisters who are very cool. Film promises to pack a punch.

The actors do an amazing job, but the movie doesn't pack any real punches. The story revolves around stupid "plots" without ever getting into the emotional meat that it needed to. This movie had the potential to uncover some serious family scars - but doesn't.

A very well written, beautifully directed and awesomely performed movie after a long time

It is a decent 1 time watch. Could have been shorter, at times the screenplay felt stretched. Decent acting, nothing which lingers with you after the movie ends.

This movie is a complete laughter overdose. Must watch...Brilliant acting by everyone :)

Good things first, the acting was great and accent was on point. Locations were great. No cringey jokes. First half of the movie was great but second half felt like it was not even in the script and they just kept on going. The movie could have been shorter. Ending was stupid and there was so much potential in the second half of the movie which was left untouched.

The magic of vishal bhardwaj is gone.... most boring movie I have seen in recent years....

I'll just want to share what kept me hooked to this movie .. hilarious story, great screenplay .. dialogue delivery superbly funny ..

I must mention I usually don't enjoy this kind of movie with strong village language .. but Sanya Malhotra .. you are amazing ..

Your first scene was awesome 😊🤗

Shot in real villages and beautiful real locations. The dialogues are brilliant and the acting is phenomenal. They have caught the dialect and both Sanya Malhotra and Radhika Madan are a treat a watch in their roles. The Supporting cast does an amazing job . This movie is an awesome entertainer. A special note for Sunil Grover. He is such a brilliant comic .Even if he just smiling and posing for a selfie , he makes you laugh hysterically.
