Overall Pataakha is very good but it could have been great if the plot was stronger than just a story about two sisters with dreams.

The chemistry between the two is indubitably hair raising and plays a pivotal role in keeping the mood of the film enjoyable throughout.

Others do a good job.Vishal Bhardwajs music is hardly memorable but is well incorporated in the film.
