Pataakha is Sanya Malhotra's second movie after Dangal and marks the Bollywood debut of Radhika Madan, who is a TV actress. The story of the film is about two squabbling sisters Champa (Radhika Madan) and Genda Kumari (Sanya Malhotra). They can't stand the sight of each other and their fights get more violent each time. Champa elopes with her boyfriend (Namit Das) two days before the marriage. The father then arranges the younger daughter to the same groom on the same day. Genda also ruins his plans and runs away with her lover (Abhishek Duhan). Unbeknownst to the sisters, they both end up as sisters-in-law in the same house. Let's see if the numbers notch up a bit higher over the weekend but it doesn't look like the film will match up to Sui Dhaaga's numbers. The Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma starrer has collected Rs 8.25 crore on day 1 which seems like a far- fetched dream for Pataakha.
