Patna Shukla review: The film by Raveena Tandon keeps you interested despite its uneven and unremarkable plot. The plot is primarily driven by the mark-sheet switch and widespread corruption in educational institutions.
Although the concept of small-town women rising to prominence is not new. However, it could always need some updating because strong women are endearing. Just one month ago, Bhumi Pednakar come up as a fearless reporter in Bhakshak. Raveena Tandon is now portraying a Patna lawyer who pursues the wrongdoings of the son of a prominent politician.
After six years, Tanvi (Raveena Tandon) is still awaiting the case that will allow her to prove herself.
Tanvi finds herself facing a unique chance to showcase her skills not just as a caring spouse and mother but also as a capable lawyer. This opportunity arises when Rinki Kumar, a college student, approaches her makeshift “chamber” claiming her exam failure is suspicious. Tanvi must now prove her worth not only in her personal roles but also in her professional expertise.
This type of movie means that we already know how it will end, but it doesn’t stop us from noticing some excellent details. Manav Vij portrays the kind of devoted husband that any lady would be fortunate to have—albeit occasionally coming across as a little too dedicated to be accurate. He totally supports her actions and is proud of her ability, so he doesn’t hold her responsible when bad people target him. Another portion exposes the abuse of the bulldozer, making a pointed commentary on current events by stating that your home will be destroyed if you oppose the ruling class.
Why to watch Patna Shukla?
It’s good to watch the late Satish Kaushik in this role as an upright judge with a lighthearted touch. He detests being “toked” from behind, enjoys going on sabzi-buying excursions with his cheerful wife. Further, is happier to see that justice is done.
Even while the plot itself bobs along evenly and doesn’t provide many surprises, the mark-sheet switch and the crooks behind it are. The widespread corruption in educational institutions (Vihar University, in the film) keeps you interested enough.
Both Jatin Goswami, the minister’s entitled scion, and Chandan Roy Sanyal, the opposing lawyer, perform their roles. This was in the same way that the sincere Tandon works at the accent and appearance. Patna Shuklla is still one of those you can watch just because you want to see women win out. Although, the last saga ruins it.
