It's going to be Sanya Malhotra-Radhika Madan's 'Pataakha' vs Varun Dhawan-Anushka Sharma's 'Sui Dhaaga'

The first look poster of Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming film titled Pataakha has been unveiled by it's makers on Monday. The movie, which stars Dangal fame Sanya Malhotra and popular TV actress Radhika Madan in the leads, was earlier supposed to be titled Churiyaan. The first look poster also informs that the movie will hit the theatres on September 28 this year. Now, the same release date was earlier locked by Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma starrer Make In India film Sui-Dhaaga. This means that it's going to be a dangal between Pataakha and Sui-Dhaaga come September 28 this year, unless the release date of either of the movies is changed later. 

Reportedly, Vishal Bhardwaj was keen on having the release date of Pataakha fixed on September 28 for he feels the week to be lucky for him since both Haidar and Talvar had opened on October 2. If that is true, then we'll have to wait and watch if the release date of Sui-Dhaaga is changed to avoid the clash at the box office. 

Meanwhile, both Sanya and Radhika look completely unrecognisable in the first look poster of the film. They can be seen involved in a rustic brawl. The movie is based on a short story titled Do Behnein by Charan Pathik which revolves around two sisters, Badki and Chhutki,  from a small village in Rajasthan, who are constantly at war with each other. Later when they get separated post marriage, they realise that while they can't live with each other, they also can not live without each other.

The first look poster also reminds one of the rustic, earthy feels of Sanya's first film Dangal. The movie also stars popular comedian-turned-actor Sunil Grover and Vijay Raaz.
