Pataakha Story: Badki (Radhika Madan) and Chhutki (Sanya Malhotra) live in a small town in Rajasthan. They are sisters who squabble about anything and everything from stolen bidis and clothes to broken phones and TV sets. Dipper (Sunil Grover) is their nosy neighbour, who is always on the lookout for an opportunity to make the sisters go to war, while their father (Vijay Raaz), a single parent, is always trying to make peace between the warring sisters.

Pataakha Review: 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. But for all its novelty, Pataakha is a film that’s a bit too hard to take in. Grasping the strong Rajasthani dialogues might prove to be a challenge for the average viewer. For 2 hours and 15 minutes, the sole focus of the screenplay stays on the fact that the sisters can’t live without getting into a brawl and while the uniqueness of the story is admirable, after a point, it does get a tad monotonous.
