‘Pataakha’ Box Office: Sanya-Radhika Film off to a Slow Start

Will the Vishal Bhardwaj film resonate with the audience?

A still from Pataakha.

Starring Dangal’s Sanya Malhotra and television actor Radhika Madan, Pataakha had a lukewarm start at the box office.

The Vishal Bhardwaj film raked in Rs 90 lakh on day 1. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, business will have to grow manifold to make a good impression on the cash registers.

Pataakha tells the tale of two sisters who can’t stand the sight of one another, a metaphor for India and Pakistan’s relationship. The film also stars Varun Grover and Vijay Raaz.
