Patni Aur Woh Do box office collection day 1: Ayushmann Khurrana’s much-anticipated romantic comedy-drama finally hit theatres on May 15. Upon release, the film received a mix of reactions from fans on social media. Despite the buzz surrounding its launch, the movie experienced a sluggish start at the box office, marking Ayushmann's one of the lowest openings of his career. It struggled to generate significant traction and could not surpass the opening-day collection of Kartik Aaryan’s 2019 hit, Pati Patni Aur Woh. The film’s initial performance indicates a modest reception, leaving expectations for its commercial success tempered.

Meanwhile, occupancy remained low throughout the day, with morning shows at 5.38%, afternoon shows at 10.92%, and evening shows at 10.46%.

Does Pati Patni Aur Woh Do promote infidelity?

In a conversation with Mid Day, director Mudassar Aziz revealed that Pati Patni Aur Woh Do marks his seventh film. He emphasized that he has never created a movie that condones infidelity and expressed feeling misinterpreted when such criticism arises. Mudassar also highlighted his collaborative history with Ayushmann, noting that their past projects have consistently steered clear of presenting gender issues in a biased or one-sided manner.

"In Pati Patni Aur Woh [2019], the husband is faced with the consequences of his actions when his wife and girlfriend join forces," he said. He also mentioned to the tabloid that in Happy Bhag Jayegi, he created a protagonist who makes her own choice in selecting a partner. Mudassar added that women in his films have always been portrayed with agency.
