After a low start on the opening day, Sanya Malhotra and Radhika Madan starrer Pataakha has witnessed an upward trend. However, after the first weekend, the film’s total box office collection stand low at Rs. 4.05 crore. With strong competition from Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma starrer Sui Dhaaga: Made In India, Pataakha has to show immense growth over the first weekend.
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the latest box office numbers and wrote, “#Pataakha witnesses escalation in biz, but the 3-day total is low... It’s all about maintaining the pace today [Day 4]… Day 5 [Tue] is a national holiday, hence the biz should shoot up again... Fri 90 lakhs, Sat 1.40 cr, Sun 1.75 cr. Total: ₹ 4.05 cr [875 screens]. India biz.”
The film also features stand-up comedian and actor Sunil and talking about his experience of working with Vishal Bhardwaj, he said earlier, ‘’As an individual, I had my own approach to play a character. So, initially I was trying to do that. But when I started discussing things with Vishal sir, my approach changed. Sir thinks from a broader perspective, but I was thinking only of my character. "So, working with sir made me think differently. I unlearned a lot to learn new things from sir."
Desi, raw and good performances- These are the things which you expect from a Vishal Bhardwaj film and Pataakha, the filmmaker's latest outing tick marks all three criteria. Pataakha is adapted from a short story Do Behnein by Charan Singh Pathik. This beautiful grimy film dazzles because of its brilliant actors, director and writer. From small houses, narrow lanes, village style baarat to the scattered cow dung, Bhardwaj has taken care of nuances in Pataakha.
