Third Sunday Brings a Small Jump
Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is still running in theatres, and the numbers show a tiny bounce on its third Sunday. The film added an estimated Rs 1.75 crore on Sunday, which is about a 10% jump from Saturday. This pushed the third weekend collection to around Rs 4.30 crore nett. Not bad, yaar, but the weekend total is still nearly 40% lower than the previous one, so the slowdown is real.
After 17 days, the total Indian box office collection stands at approximately Rs 44.55 crore nett. The film started slowly and has been climbing steadily, but it’s not breaking any records. Industry insiders suggest that reaching the Rs 50 crore mark is still possible, but it’ll need a strong week ahead.
How Does It Compare to the Original?
Let’s be honest — comparisons with the original Pati Patni Aur Woh (starring Kartik Aaryan) were inevitable. That film finished with around Rs 80 crore nett in India. The new version, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Wamiqa Gabbi, Sara Ali Khan, and Rakul Preet Singh, is unlikely to hit that number. But hey, times have changed. Romantic comedies haven’t been ruling the box office since 2020, as audience tastes have shifted towards action and masala flicks.
In that context, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do has managed a decent run. It’s not a blockbuster, but it’s not a flop either. The film has held its ground despite not pulling in massive crowds. Mudassar Aziz’s direction and the ensemble cast have kept the interest alive, especially among fans of the original.
New Releases Could Threaten the Run
Now comes the tricky part. This week, several new films are hitting the screens — including Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Bandar, and Peddi. That means screen counts and show timings for Pati Patni Aur Woh Do are likely to shrink. And that could hurt its chances of crossing the Rs 50 crore mark.
Current trends suggest a lifetime total around Rs 50 crore nett. That would be a respectable number, considering the film’s slow start. But it’s not the kind of result that makes headlines. Still, for a romantic comedy in today’s market, it’s a survivor. Let’s see if the film can hold on through the week and inch closer to that half-century milestone.
