Bollywood icon Raveena Tandon has been garnering significant attention on OTT platforms with her diverse performances. Her recent film, ‘Patna Shuklla’, a courtroom drama, has particularly caught the eye of audiences and critics alike, with Raveena’s compelling portrayal of a lawyer receiving widespread acclaim.
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Tandon candidly discussed the challenges she has faced for expressing her opinions and being assertive. She expressed her frustration, saying, “I do have an opinion about things, and I do believe in equality. I have seen many times that women, when they express their opinions or assert themselves, are called aggressive. ‘Oh, you’re aggressive.’ What do you mean by that? Just because I want to say something, and I’m saying it assertively, you label me as aggressive. So, that is something I have probably heard in real life as well.”
‘Patna Shuklla’ delves into the issue of education scams prevalent in India, with Tandon playing the role of lawyer Tanvi Shuklla, who exposes these illicit activities. The film chronicles Tanvi’s journey as she courageously confronts the system to seek justice for a student trapped in a roll number scam. Shedding light on these serious offenses, the movie highlights the significant challenges faced by countless students across India annually.
Produced by Arbaaz Khan and directed by Vivek Budakoti, ‘Patna Shuklla’ premiered on March 29 to much anticipation and has been receiving positive reviews from both critics and audiences.
