Pataakha trailer: The Vishal Bhardwaj film is a whole new ball game

The makers of Pataakha released the trailer of their film on India’s 72nd Independence Day. Starring Dangal fame Sanya Malhotra and TV actor Radhika Madan, the over three minutes long promo is a whole new ball game.

Coming from the Vishal Bhardwaj camp, the trailer has left us excited to meet the two sisters Badki (Radhika Madan) and Chhutki (Sanya Malhotra) on the silver screen. They are referred to as India and Pakistan, born out of the same mother but each other’s biggest enemy. They start by calling each other names, beating each other and dragging the other in the mud. They grow up into bold, badass and beautiful women. Their fate is such that they end up marrying in the same family and you cannot help laughing at their predicament.

After Sanya and Radhika’s impressive acting, the next best thing in the trailer is the cracking dialogues and the way they are delivered by the stellar cast of the film including Sunil Grover and Vijay Raaz among others. The film has been written and directed by Vishal Bhardwaj who has delivered hits like Haider, Maqbool, Ishqiya, Kaminey and others.
