In Short

• Pati Patni Aur Woh Do was theatrically released on May 15
• Ayushmann Khurrana leads an ensemble cast alongside Wamiqa Gabbi
• Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet Singh were praised by viewers in X reviews

Director Mudassar Aziz's Pati Patni Aur Woh Do theatrically released on may 15, 2026. The film featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Wamiqa Gabbi, Sara Alia Khan and Rakul Preet Singh was praised for its comedy, glamour and quirky moments. However, the audience reviews remain subjective over the film's first half.

Early reactions on X have been largely positive, particularly regarding the film's tone and performances. One viewer noted that within the first 50 minutes, the movie remains "funny and quirky without any regressive or misogynistic stuff," specifically highlighting the standout work of the female lead.

The review further commended Sara Ali Khan, asserting that she is "ruling the comic zone" in a performance that perfectly balances being "spicy, vulnerable, and naive" as the character Chanchal.

Another X review also mentioned that the film is only "sporadically funny and looks outdated," suggesting that the director appears to be "recycling the same concept over and over again." While the user mentioned that Ayushmann delivers a "decent" performance, they expressed doubt about the film's overall success, concluding with a hopeful wish that the "second half is better."

A viewer was quick to highlight the impact of the supporting cast, claiming that "no one is ready for Rakul Preet Singh" in the film. Praising her for looking "gorgeous" and nailing the comedy with a "strong screen presence," the review noted that her character, Nilofar, quickly became "one of my favourite characters from the film."

An X reaction to audience's subjective opinions about the film read, "Sab chaaro taraf se positive reviews de rahe yaar. Toh tum bhi ek baar dekh hi lo. At the end, opinions are subjective. To shayad tumhe achhi lage. Mujhe to first half kaafi bland laga. Thode bohot scenes funny hain (Everyone is giving it positive reviews from all sides, so you should probably give it a watch yourself. In the end, opinions are subjective, so maybe you’ll actually like it. Personally, I found the first half quite bland — only a few scenes were funny) (sic)."

A review on X also read, "Watched #PatiPatniAurWohDo and I can confidently say #RakulPreetSingh OWNS this film every time she comes on screen. Nilofar is pure charm, glamour, comic energy what a presence (sic)!"

An X user captioned, "The film’s lead also earned high marks for her vibrant energy, with one viewer calling Sara Ali Khan a true "surprise package" who brings "so much life to every scene." The review praised her "comic timing, the madness, and the glamour," even going as far as to say that when the actress isn't on screen, "you literally miss her energy (sic)!"

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2019 hit Pati Patni Aur Woh. Mudassar Aziz, who directed the first film, will call the shots this time, too. The 2019 film features Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday.

The film also features Vijay Raaz, Tigmanshu Dhulia and others in key roles. Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is co-produced by Bhushan Kumar, Renu Ravi Chopra, Krishan Kumar and Juno Chopra.
