Tweeting about it, Taran wrote: “#PatiPatniAurWoh is excellent on Day 1... This, despite competing with another biggie [#Panipat], which resulted in screens/shows getting divided... Expect solid growth on Day 2 and 3... Emerges #KartikAaryan’s biggest opener... Fri 9.10 cr. #India biz.”

He further gave a list of day 1 collections of Kartik’s films, which showed the steady fashion in which his films’ day 1 collections have grown.

 

In comparison, Ashutosh Gowariker’s ambitious Panipat has fared poorly at the ticket counters. An earlier report in Box Office India stated that the film had made an estimated earnings of Rs 4-4.25 crore nett range. It had done its best business in Maharashtra, with most of the money coming in from Mumbai, CP Berar, Nizam and Andhra regions.

Speaking about the films’ prospects at the box office, trade analyst Girish Johar has earlier told Hindustan Times, “Panipat should open in the range of Rs 5.5-6.5 crore whereas Pati Patni Aur Woh should open at around Rs 7.5-8.5 crore.” He further said that Panipat’s length may be a problem. “The length of Panipat is almost three hours and this limits the rotation of shows. Multiple shows can run in multiplexes as Commando 3 and Knives Out are still running and will not impact them in anyway. Comparing them, the comedy genre attracts larger audience as compared to historical. But it has been proved lately that multiple films can perform well simultaneously.”

Kartik’s film, in comparison, is a comedy and would appeal to the youth. “It is a youthful light comedy, Ananya and Bhumi are doing well, Kartik is the new neighbourhood chocolate boy and has a huge fan following. It is remake of an old hit and costing is also in control. Two songs are already popular ahead of its release and it is also expected to have a good start. It is looking like a comfortable winner at the box office,” Girish had added.

Pati Patni Aur Woh is a remake of the hit 1978 film of the same name and deals with infidelity in a light-hearted manner. It stars Kartik, Ananya Panday and Bhumi Pednekar. The original starred Sanjeev Kumar, Vidya Sinha and Ranjeeta.
