Shoma Anand in lead role

Shoma Anand in lead role as a kind hearted prostitute with her regular co-star Raj Kiran, Vikram and Mithun Chakraborty as her suitors; Patita was rumored to be ghost directed by Shoma's mentor Pramod Chakravarthy but the film turned out to be dull and drab in comparison to B R Ishaara's Chetna (1970) which dealt with the same subject. My only takeaway from Patita was Mithunda's entry scene where he grooves to a Boney M song in his trademark style which made him India's one and only Disco Dancer (1982) two years later.
