The newly released romantic comedy-drama Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, featuring Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead role, has witnessed a reassuring and decent surge in its theatrical earnings on its second day of release. Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film had a somewhat subdued and slow start at the domestic box office on Friday, pulling in a modest opening day net collection of around ₹4 crore. However, riding on the back of encouraging multiplex footfalls and positive weekend momentum, the situational comedy registered a healthy growth of over forty percent on Saturday. This critical second-day spike added an estimated ₹5.75 crore net to its domestic tally, pushing the movie’s cumulative two-day total comfortably past the ₹9 crore mark to rest at ₹9.75 crore net in India.
The spiritual sequel—which also stars an ensemble cast including Wamiqa Gabbi, Sara Ali Khan, and Rakul Preet Singh—recorded an average occupancy rate of roughly sixteen percent across thousands of tracking shows nationwide on Saturday. While these numbers show a clear trajectory of improvement, trade analysts observe that the film is still facing an uphill battle compared to the phenomenal box office run of its 2019 predecessor starring Kartik Aaryan, which had raked in over ₹9 crore on its opening day alone. The modern post-pandemic theatrical landscape has proven to be notoriously difficult for mid-budget, small-town comedies, a space where Ayushmann Khurrana previously dominated with back-to-back hits. Nonetheless, the international market provided a steady cushion to the project, with overseas earnings pushing the worldwide gross collections of the film to a respectable ₹13.70 crore within the first forty-eight hours.
In recent interactions, Ayushmann Khurrana expressed his profound appreciation for being part of a classic cinematic legacy that traces its roots back to the iconic 1978 original film starring Sanjeev Kumar. The actor described the comedy genre as the absolute bread and butter or staple diet of the Indian movie-going audience, emphasizing that light-hearted entertainment can never truly go out of fashion. Despite receiving a mixed bag of initial reviews from critics, the movie is relying heavily on word-of-mouth promotion to sustain its upward momentum. The production team and exhibitors are now looking forward to Sunday’s performance, aiming for another significant jump in ticketing numbers to close out the opening weekend near the fifteen-crore benchmark before the critical weekday test begins.
