Pati Patni Aur Woh Do struggles to match original film’s opening
Despite wide release numbers and strong promotional visibility, the sequel could not touch the opening-day benchmark of ’s Pati Patni Aur Woh, which had collected Rs 9.10 crore on day one back in 2019.
Trade reports further revealed that the film recorded an overall occupancy of 11.94 per cent across 6,822 shows nationwide. While evening and night shows reportedly saw slight growth, the opening still remained below industry expectations for a franchise follow-up.
Ayushmann Khurrana’s comedy banks on weekend growth
Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film revolves around a seemingly perfect marriage in Prayagraj that spirals into confusion and chaos after one unexpected decision. Alongside the lead cast, the film also stars Vijay Raaz, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Ayesha Raza Mishra and Deepika Amin in supporting roles.
The romantic comedy has received praise in parts for its situational humour and performances, though audience reactions have remained divided online. Industry observers now believe the film’s weekend collections will play a major role in determining its long-term theatrical run.
