After ‘Laughter Chefs 2’ ended, fans wanted a breath of fresh air, and that’s where the makers decided to come up with another show, ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga-Jodiyon Ka Reality Check’, Colors TV’s latest attempt to stir up your weekend with a spicy cocktail of love, laughter, and loud arguments, all while you’re trying to finish your Saturday night dessert.
Hosted by the unlikeliest but oddly endearing duo, Sonali Bendre with her grace personified and Munawar Faruqui with his on-point sass, the show gives couples a chance to test their chemistry, compatibility, and patience, all on national television.
This new format dives into the everyday ups and downs of celebrity marriages, offering viewers a mix of lighthearted, relatable, and family-friendly content.
The show features seven popular jodis: Debina Bonnerjee-Gurmeet Choudhary, Hina Khan-Rocky Jaiswal, Rubina Dilaik-Abhinav Shukla, Avika Gor-Milind Chandwani, Swara Bhasker-Fahad Ahmad, Geeta Phogat-Pawan Kumar, and Sudesh Lehri-Mamta Lehri, who take on fun challenges that bring out the quirky, playful side of their relationships.
While the concept might sound like a refreshing twist on couple-based reality shows, it just fails to add that uniqueness. The lovey-dovey moments and the bitter-sweet-sarcastic real side of relationships are themes that have already been explored in various shows. It feels more like ‘Nach Baliye’ meets ‘Bigg Boss’ with a tinge of emotional drama.
While fans might be interested in knowing more about their favourite celebrity couples, some of them did not have the power to hold their segments for long. On one hand, the idea of putting couples like Rubina-Abhinav, Hina-Rocky, and Debina-Gurmeet through quirky challenges sounds fun on paper, but the execution lacks freshness.
Other than the couple, the hosts also seem mismatched. Sonali’s calm, mature vibe contrasts with Munawar’s energy. While fans enjoy his humour and cheeky one-liners, Sonali, at various points, lacked the energy, making their pairing look imbalanced. Expect a mix of drama, sass, and spicy secrets, but entertainment is lacking in places, and you might find it tough to laugh.
If you’re expecting real reality TV or unique insights into relationships, this show may not offer much. ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga’ brings the drama of marriage, the chaos of cohabitation, and the madness of love under one roof. It’s not pathbreaking, and it might not live up to your expectations. However, it might just be a time-pass watch.
You can still watch it if your weekend needs more drama than your group chats.
