Ayushmann Khurrana’s romantic comedy Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is continuing its steady run at the box office despite facing stiff competition and slowing momentum in its third week. The Mudassar Aziz directorial managed to record a decent third weekend and is now inching closer to the ₹45 crore mark in India.
The film, which stars Ayushmann Khurrana alongside Wamiqa Gabbi, Sara Ali Khan, and Rakul Preet Singh, collected an estimated ₹1.75 crore on its third Sunday. This was a slight jump of around 10 percent from Saturday’s collections, indicating that the film still has some audience support heading into its third week.
With this, the romantic comedy added approximately ₹4.30 crore nett during its third weekend and took its total domestic collection to ₹44.55 crore nett after 17 days in theatres.
Third Weekend Provides a Much-Needed Boost
After witnessing a noticeable drop in collections during the weekdays, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do managed to stabilize over the weekend. Although the third weekend figures were around 40 percent lower than the second weekend, the film showed enough consistency to keep its box office journey alive.
The weekend began with ₹1 crore on Friday, followed by ₹1.55 crore on Saturday. Sunday’s estimated ₹1.75 crore helped push the three-day total beyond ₹4 crore, which is a respectable result considering the film’s current stage in its theatrical run.

₹50 Crore Lifetime Total Looks Achievable
Going by the current trend, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is expected to finish its theatrical run around the ₹50 crore nett mark in India. While this figure may not be enough to change the film’s overall box office verdict, it would certainly help the film recover from its underwhelming start and end its run on a relatively respectable note.
The coming week, however, could prove challenging. Several new releases, including Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Bandar, and Peddi, are set to arrive in cinemas. The fresh competition is likely to impact screen availability and show counts, making it difficult for the romantic comedy to maintain its current pace.
Comparison With the Original Film
For many moviegoers, comparisons with the original Pati Patni Aur Woh are inevitable. The 2019 film starring Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar, and Ananya Panday was a major commercial success and went on to collect around ₹80 crore nett at the Indian box office.
In comparison, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is expected to finish significantly below that benchmark. However, industry observers point out that the theatrical landscape has changed dramatically since 2020. Romantic comedies, once among Bollywood’s most reliable genres, have found it increasingly difficult to attract audiences to cinemas in the post-pandemic era.
Many films that would have comfortably crossed higher milestones before 2020 are now struggling to achieve similar numbers due to changing audience preferences and the rise of streaming platforms.
Ayushmann Khurrana Continues to Draw Audiences
Despite the film’s modest performance, Ayushmann Khurrana remains one of Bollywood’s most dependable stars when it comes to content-driven cinema. His ability to headline unconventional stories and connect with urban audiences has helped Pati Patni Aur Woh Do maintain a steady run even after its initial buzz faded.
The chemistry among the lead cast and the film’s light-hearted treatment of relationships have also contributed to its sustained performance over the past few weeks.
Final Box Office Outlook
As Pati Patni Aur Woh Do enters its fourth week, the film appears set for a lifetime collection close to ₹50 crore nett in India. While it may not replicate the success of its predecessor, the romantic comedy has managed to stay afloat and attract audiences despite challenging market conditions.
The next few days will determine how close the film can get to the ₹50 crore milestone before new releases take over cinema screens. For now, Ayushmann Khurrana’s latest entertainer continues its journey with ₹44.55 crore already in the bank and a respectable finish firmly within reach.
