3/5
I've always maintained that Bharadwaj is great with set-up and dwindles as a finisher. Happy to be proved wrong this time around. Pataakha's ending is a cracker. Go to Full Review Anupama Chopra Film Companion 09/28/2018

It's cacophony without juice or magic. Go to Full Review Swetha Ramakrishnan Firstpost 10/10/2023
3.5/5
Way too many directors have managed to capture the essence, dialect and inherent charm of rural India, but Vishal Bhardwaj takes it one step further with Pataakha. Go to Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad annavetticadgoes2themovies 01/11/2021

Trust Vishal Bhardwaj to get to the root of India-Pakistan enmity plus crack Bollywood's star system, both with one stone. Go to Full Review Poulomi Das Arré 03/11/2019
Vishal Bhardwaj's Pataakha understands this language of sisterhood, where throwing abuses, insults, and jabs at each other is par for the course. Go to Full Review Shilpa Jamkhandikar Reuters 09/28/2018
Much like his protagonists, Bhardwaj doesn't know when to cut it short and walk away. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/01/2021 Uniquely original story, excellent casting, superlative performances - the standout is the debutant Radhika Madan - and competent screenplay and direction that makes the story work, which is no small feat in Bollywood where numerous films butcher a good story/script with hackneyed direction, stereotypical screenplays and bombastic acting. What make it even more enjoyable for me was knowing that this story is based on a real life of the writer who based it on his own marriage. See more 09/29/2020 Never soars high, never redeems itself completely. See more 12/14/2018 Pataakha is like a cracker, its bright, loud, leaves fumes smoke and not to everyone's taste but a delight to watch none the less. The plot revolves around two sisters who are always bickering, the slangs they use and their rowdy fights are a treat to watch but does get stale after a time. The cast and their performances are fabulous but the story and script needed more content. See more 11/28/2018 Hilarious movie. Brilliant display of talent.
