Pati Patni Aur Woh Do showed steady growth at the box office during its second weekend. The film collected Rs. 3.25 crore on its second Sunday, which was more than 20 per cent higher than its Saturday collection. With this jump, the total collection for the second weekend reached Rs. 8 crore. The film’s overall India nett collection now stands at Rs. 35 crore.
Although the movie is maintaining a decent trend during weekends, the overall business remains on the lower side. Trade analysts believe the film is likely to cross Rs. 40 crore soon and may even touch the Rs. 50 crore mark during its full theatrical run. However, despite this growth, the collections are still being viewed as moderate because the film had a weak start in its opening week.
Reports also suggest that some support from discounted ticket pricing and promotional offers may have helped increase footfalls during the second weekend. Because of this, industry experts are closely watching how the film performs during weekdays.
The performance of Pati Patni Aur Woh Do also reflects the current situation of small and medium budget comedy films in Hindi cinema after the pandemic period. Before 2020, small town comedy dramas were performing very strongly at the box office. During 2018 and 2019, several films from this genre became successful and attracted large family audiences to theatres.
Actors like Ayushmann Khurrana played an important role in making this genre popular by delivering multiple successful films during that period. Trade experts believe that if Pati Patni Aur Woh Do had released before the pandemic, its opening collections could have been three to five times higher than its current numbers because audience behaviour in theatres has changed significantly in recent years.
The day wise box office collections of Pati Patni Aur Woh Do are as follows:
Week 1: Rs. 28.00 crore
2nd Friday: Rs. 1.25 crore
2nd Saturday: Rs. 2.50 crore
2nd Sunday: Rs. 3.25 crore
Total Collection: Rs. 35 crore
