Ayushmann Khurrana’s latest outing, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, collected Rs 1 crore on its second Monday. It registered a 20 per cent drop from the second Friday. The romantic comedy drama, directed by Mudassar Aziz, took its running cume to Rs. 36 crore nett at the Indian box office.
Co-starring Wamiqa Gabbi, Rakupreet Singh, and Sara Ali Khan, the movie is heading to cross the Rs. 40 crore mark by the end of this week. It is expected to wind up its entire box office run in the vicinity of Rs. 40-45 crore, with an eye on the Rs. 50 crore mark. Though it won’t change anything for the film, it’s somewhat face-saving after a dismal start. There is some amount of feeding there, so even that is to be taken with a sterisk.
Post 2020 era has been particularly unforgiving for small and mid-budget small-town comedies. Especially during 2018-2019, this space was thriving with a plethora of hit films, including Pati Patni Aur Woh. Ayushmann Khurrana was at the forefront of this trend, delivering multiple back-to-back hits that also opened well at the box office. Had this film been released in 2020, it likely would have opened three to five times higher than its current numbers.
