Hyderabad: The much-anticipated film Do Patti, starring Kriti Sanon, Kajol, and Shaheer Sheikh, was released on Netflix on October 25. Directed by Shashanka Chaturvedi and produced by Kanika Dhillon, the film has garnered mixed reactions on social media, particularly X (formerly known as Twitter) where audiences have shared their varied experiences and critiques.
Many viewers expressed their disappointment with the film's pacing, particularly in the first half. One user noted that they found the plot 'dragging' and 'unrelatable,' remarking, "I have yet to see a sister marrying her sister's boyfriend. The plot seems sorta stupid." However, they acknowledged that the last few scenes, especially those dealing with the mother's death and domestic violence, were beautifully written and executed. Overall, they rated the film 2.5 out of 5.

First half - drag n can’t relate. I hv yet to see a sister marrying her sister’s bf. Plot seems sorta stupid. Last few scenes with mum’s death n highlighting DV were beautifully written n executed. Acting by all - okayish. Rating: 2.5/5
#DoPatti is a gripping,intriguing,twisty thriller drama with a strong message. @kritisanon Your portrayal of both characters Shailee & Saumya was immaculate. The way you executed every detail of the distinct twins was exceptional. This is undoubtedly your career best performance! pic.twitter.com/uXaDG4vrnZ

Many applauded Shaheer's transformation from a television actor to a versatile film star, with one X post stating he was "a chocolate boy turned iykyk," signaling a more mature portrayal. Kajol's role as a determined cop also drew significant attention. Her performance, accent, and delivery were lauded. One social media user remarked, "Kajol as a cop, the way she acts, is one of the main reasons why she is ruling this industry." Her character, Vidya Jyothi Kanwar, stood out for its memorable one-liners in the film.
