Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Movie Review Synopsis:
Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is a story about a man caught in a difficult situation.
Prajapati Pandey (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a forest officer living in Prayagraj with his wife, Aparna (Wamiqa Gabbi), who is a passionate journalist. Nilofer Khan (Rakul Preet Singh) is Prajapati’s colleague and best friend. One day, Prajapati’s college friend, Chanchal Kumari (Sara Ali Khan), comes to his office. Chanchal is in love with Sudhanshu Tiwari, also known as Sunny (Vishal Vashishtha), the son of MLA Gajraj Tiwari (Tigmanshu Dhulia). Chanchal is from a lower caste, so they are in a secret relationship. Things get complicated when a photo of Sunny with Chanchal, wearing a burkha, appears in a local newspaper. Gajraj gets angry and sends his men to find out who the girl in the burkha is. Sunny plans to go to Canada with Chanchal, but it will take about 10 days. Gajraj’s men suspect Chanchal is the girl in the burkha and start following her 24/7. With no other choice, Chanchal and Sunny stop seeing each other. Therefore, Chanchal turns to Prajapati for help. Prajapati decides to pretend to be in a relationship with Chanchal to stop the men from harassing her. He also tells Aparna about his plan. But before he can tell her the truth, Aparna excitedly shares that she leaked the photo of Sunny and Chanchal. She also confesses that Gajraj promised to help her start her own news channel if she finds out who the girl in the burkha is. As a result, Prajapati can’t tell Aparna the truth. He lies to her and starts meeting Chanchal, pretending they are in an affair. Unfortunately, this ends up causing problems for Prajapati. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Movie Story Review:
Mudassar Aziz's story is full of all the typical comic caper elements.
The screenplay by Ravi Kumar and Mudassar Aziz has many funny moments that keep the story entertaining. However, the script also has some loose ends. Mudassar Aziz’s dialogues work but only in certain parts.
Mudassar Aziz's direction is commercial.
In his previous film, PATI PATNI AUR WOH [2019], the main character was caught between two women. In this version, the main character is stuck between his wife and two "girlfriends". It is a film full of quirky characters and lots of misunderstandings. But the film remains clear and never gets confusing. The way Prajapati finds himself in trouble and the way misunderstandings happen make for a fun watch. Some supporting characters, like the bua (Ayesha Raza), may seem unnecessary at first, but they add to the chaos. The climax brings all the characters together in a chaotic situation, which will appeal to those who enjoy this kind of humor.
On the downside, several one-liners, although witty, don't land as intended.
The writers have set up several clever situations to create misunderstandings and chaos in Prajapati’s life. For example, the reason the husband can't tell his wife the truth about Chanchal is smart and adds a nice touch. But it's confusing why Gajraj doesn't just ask his son directly about his girlfriend. Instead, he makes his men follow multiple women all day. Also, a scandal of this nature should have caused political problems, but nothing like that happens. The songs are forced and the character of Abhishek Sonpaliya (Jumman) is unnecessarily effeminate.
Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Movie Review Performances:
Ayushmann Khurrana does a good job, though in some scenes he goes a bit too far and could have been more controlled.
Wamiqa Gabbi has a better role than in her previous film, BHOOTH BANGLA, and adds to the entertainment value. Rakul Preet Singh gives a confident performance. Sara Ali Khan keeps her act in check and does well. Tigmanshu Dhulia is well suited as the villain. Durgesh Kumar (Mahinder), Guneet Singh (Surinder) and Vijay Raaz (Dharamveer Singh) have entertaining roles. Ayesha Raza is over the top at first, but her performance works in the climax. Deepika Amin (Bhavna Trivedi) is fair, while Shireesh Sharma (Ashok Trivedi; judge) is wasted. Abhishek Sonpaliya is okay. Vishal Vashishtha, Shashie Vermaa (D K Sharma; boss) and Santanu Kumar Panda (Moyo Room Receptionist) are fine in cameo roles.
Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Movie Music and Other Technical Aspects:
The songs are weak.
A movie like this should ideally have chart-topping songs to please the audience. 'Roop Di Rani' is the best of the lot, while 'Dil Waale Chor' and 'Angdayi' feel forced. 'Humne Wahin Lagaya Dil' is played in the end credits.
Ketan Sodha's background score is typical.
Jishnu Bhattacharjee's cinematography is satisfactory. Manini Mishra's production design is excellent. The costumes by Manish Malhotra, Aki Narula and Ipshita Bhatnagar are stylish, especially those worn by the actresses. Amar Shetty's action scenes are minimal. Redchillies.vfx's visual effects are appropriate, especially in scenes with wild animals. Ninad Khanolkar's editing is smooth.
Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Movie Review Conclusion:
Overall, PATI PATNI AUR WOH DO is a decent commercial entertainer that works because of its plot and chaotic climax.
Its opening is weak and it will need positive word of mouth from its target audience to do well at the box office.
