Twin Rivalry: Flashbacks show Saumya and Shailee lost their mother as children, with Saumya always expected to bow to her sister, as Shailee was seen as stronger. Their constant conflicts lead to Shailee’s placement in boarding school, leaving the sisters distant. Saumya grows into a shy, traditional woman, while Shailee is bold and ambitious. Saumya falls for a wealthy businessman, Dhruv, and they start a friendship, but Shailee’s return and captivating personality catch Dhruv’s interest. With Shailee’s impulsive nature causing him issues, Dhruv ultimately chooses Saumya to satisfy his family’s expectations. After their marriage, Dhruv’s true nature surfaces as he begins physically abusing Saumya. VJ asks Maaji to gather evidence, but Maaji struggles to capture anything incriminating. During one attack, Dhruv asserts he can frame Saumya as mentally unstable, threatening to use her antidepressant prescriptions against her. Dhruv’s refusal to have children, despite Saumya’s desire for motherhood, intensifies their conflicts, and Saumya suspects Dhruv may be rekindling his interest in Shailee. Desperate, she proposes going paragliding to reconnect with him.
The Climax: During their paragliding trip, Saumya’s screams for help draw witnesses who capture footage of what appears to be Dhruv attempting to push her. The two crash-land and hang from a bridge, where police intervene, and Dhruv is arrested. Saumya tells the cops he was trying to murder her. In court, Dhruv claims Saumya unbuckled her harness intentionally to stage the scene. However, it’s proven Saumya, terrified of heights, would not attempt such a move, leading to Dhruv’s conviction and a 14 year sentence.
The Truth: When Shailee notices her sister’s bruises, she urges her to leave Dhruv, only to discover Saumya’s worsening mental health. Saumya insists she has “two little daughters” to care for, so she cannot leave her husband, showing Shailee a childhood photo of themselves and revealing her fragile state. Realizing Saumya’s need for help, Shailee devises a plan. During the paragliding trip, the sisters switch places, with Shailee unbuckling her harness to frame Dhruv for attempted murder. VJ later uncovers the sisters’ scheme, contemplating reopening the case. However, Shailee confesses how their family covered up the true cause of their mother’s death, who also suffered from domestic violence, leaving a lasting impact in Saumya’s psyche. Traumatized by witnessing their father’s abuse, Saumya grew up mentally scarred, compounding her response to Dhruv’s violence. Shailee argues that Dhruv’s wealth and influence would have shielded him from consequences without drastic measures.
In the end, VJ decides against reopening the case, Dhruv remains in jail, and the sisters reconcile. Do Patti is now streaming on Netflix.
