Critic Review
Pataakha (2018)Champa aka 'Badki' (Radhika Madan) and Genda aka 'Chutki' (Sanya Malhotra), they are anything but dainty and docile. With their haystack hair, rough and coarse, not-so pearly whites stained with smoking beedis and filthy language, the girls are flammable and unbashed and can pick up a fight at the drop of a hat.

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 ps.
