Vishal Bhardwaj’s film Pataakha featuring Sanya Malhotra, Radhika Madan, Sunil Grover, Vijay Raaz witnessed a dip in its box-office collection on Day 6. Pataakha which is also a Bollywood debut film of actress Radhika Madan, is mainly a story about two sisters. It is a drama comedy based on Charan Singh Pathik's short story titled Do Behnein.
Pataakha features two sisters who are from a small village of Rajasthan. Radhika and Sanya, who are playing two sisters in the film, keep fighting and arguing on different issues. But later after marriage they realise that they can’t live either with or without each other.
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."
According to the film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh, ‘’Pataakha is at low levels again on Day 6... Should cross ₹ 7.50 cr in Week 1... Fri 90 lakhs, Sat 1.40 cr, Sun 1.75 cr, Mon 94 lakhs, Tue 1.56 cr, Wed 56 lakhs. Total: ₹ 7.11 cr. India biz.’’
Pataakha box-office collection:
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.
