Ayushmann Khurrana’s latest release Pati Patni Aur Woh Do finally hit theatres this Friday and opened to a decent but underwhelming response at the Indian box office. According to early estimates, the romantic comedy earned around Rs 4 crore on its first day, making it one of Ayushmann’s moderate openers in recent years.

Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film stars Ayushmann Khurrana alongside Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi and Rakul Preet Singh. Positioned as a spiritual sequel to the 2019 hit Pati Patni Aur Woh, the film generated strong social media buzz before release due to its comedy-driven trailer, catchy songs and ensemble cast. However, the opening-day numbers fell slightly below trade expectations.

Trade analysts believe the film could witness growth over the weekend if positive word-of-mouth continues. The movie has particularly received praise for its humour, performances and light-hearted storytelling. Several viewers online appreciated Ayushmann’s comic timing, while Sara Ali Khan’s glamorous avatar also grabbed attention on social media.

During recent promotions, Ayushmann had spoken extensively about relationships, modern love and even admitted he was once a “red flag” in his younger days, which further helped the film remain in headlines before release. The cast’s fun interactions and promotional events also kept the movie trending online.

Meanwhile, fans are now closely watching whether Pati Patni Aur Woh Do can pick up momentum over the weekend and emerge as a commercial success. With family audiences and younger viewers forming the film’s target audience, the coming days are expected to play a crucial role in determining its box-office journey.
