Patna Shuklla Review: Raveena Tandon Gives A Stellar Performance In The Film Depicting Story Of Many Students

Raveena Tandon delivers an exceptional performance in 'Patna Shuklla', released on Disney Plus Hotstar, portraying the pain of a housewife with authenticity.

In 'Patna Shuklla,' a tailor stitches an undergarment of a customer, using just one meter of cloth instead of the required 1.5 meters. When a thief steals the customer's wife's purse while fleeing, he fails to catch him due to the tight stitching of the undergarment. He files a case on the tailor which is taken up by Tanvi Shukla, played by Raveena Tandon, who faces skepticism not only from her family but also from others who don't see her as a real lawyer but rather as just a housewife. The story revolves around a case that could impact the lives of millions of students. 

Plot
Tanvi Shukla is a lawyer who typically handles minor cases. Her husband believes she should focus on opening a restaurant instead. However, when she encounters a case where a student, Rinki Kumari, claims her exam paper was tampered with, the story takes a dramatic turn. This case exposes corruption, and Tanvi's life is shaken by the revelations.
