Plot
Do Patti opens with Saumya and Dhruv at Devipur village police station in Uttarakhand, where Saumya accuses Dhruv of attempting to kill her. The story flashes back to an earlier incident when police officer Vidya Jyothi (VJ) receives a call regarding domestic abuse but finds it dismissed as a false alarm. However, Maaji, a maternal figure to Saumya, privately reveals that she placed the call out of concern, explaining that Saumya suffers physical abuse at husband Dhruv’s hands.
Through Maaji’s account, we learn that Dhruv, the son of a minister and owner of a paragliding company in Devipur, met Saumya, who developed feelings for him. When Saumya introduces him to her family, her identical twin sister, Shailee, becomes infatuated with Dhruv. Having been the focus of care due to numerous phobias and mental health issues since their mother’s death, Saumya has always been prioritised, which now fuels Shailee’s resentment. Dhruv and Shailee start dating, but due to Shailee’s unpredictable behaviour, Dhruv’s father pressures him to find a homely spouse. Consequently, Dhruv marries Saumya, though Shailee continues to pursue him, causing conflict.
VJ learns of the sisters’ rivalry and Dhruv’s violent behaviour. Maaji recounts that whenever Saumya suggests having a child, Dhruv’s temper flares, often leading to physical abuse. In one incident, he pushes her down the stairs, leaving her unconscious. Determined to bring Dhruv to justice, VJ confronts him, but Dhruv insists her fall was accidental, a claim Saumya initially supports, stating her intent to start afresh with him.
At home, Saumya proposes a paragliding trip, hoping Dhruv will recreate his initial proposal. Maaji, meanwhile, works to gather evidence against Dhruv, who dismisses her warnings to mend his ways. During a Holi celebration, Shailee and Dhruv share a moment, prompting Saumya to lead Dhruv on a paragliding outing. Mid-flight, Dhruv’s harness fails, but both narrowly escape. Dhruv is arrested on the basis of Saumya’s accusation of attempted murder: she claims that Dhruv loosened her harness to push her out. With compelling evidence, he is convicted of attempted murder and domestic violence and sentenced to prison.
VJ senses inconsistencies in the case’s details. She realises that Saumya and Shailee orchestrated a deception: they had swapped roles before the paragliding, with Shailee sabotaging the harness mid-flight and then joining Saumya to accuse Dhruv. When VJ confronts them, Shailee argues that their actions were justified, revealing the family’s history of concealed domestic abuse. She admits that remaining silent about their mother’s suffering was wrong, while VJ reflects on domestic violence as a social, not merely private, issue. Convinced of Dhruv’s culpability, VJ withdraws her appeal, and the film concludes as Saumya finds closure while Dhruv faces justice.
