Watch Patna Shuklla trailer.
The 1-minute-54-second-long trailer opens with Raveena’s husband singing her praises, but only about her skills in the kitchen. When it’s pointed out that Tanvi is a lawyer too, he brushes it off by saying she only lands small cases, making her look discontent. A student called Rinki soon walks up to her outside the court and asks her to fight her case.
What unravels soon is the corruption permeated in the education system, how it ties to local politics and more. Tanvi must now fight not just against patriarchal mindset that demands she stay in the kitchen, but also take on some big players in lieu of the case. The late Satish Kaushik is also seen in the trailer as a misogynistic judge. Sharing the trailer, Raveena wrote on Instagram, “Anyay se dabi aawaz ke liye, nyay ka aaghaz karne aa rahi hai Tanvi. (Tanvi is coming to lend a voice to the oppressed.)
The makers released the film’s teaser on Sunday, in which she says, “Duniya ke andheron mein suraj mein apna hoon, main Patna hoon (In the darkness of the world, I’m my own sun. I’m Patna).” The teaser also highlighted the gender disparity she faces at court and at home.
