A seemingly perfect marriage in Prayagraj takes an unexpected turn when one decision leads to a chain of misunderstandings, suspicion, and comedic chaos.

Critic Consensus

Critical reception for Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is mixed to middling, with most reviewers landing in the average-to-decent range. The ensemble cast and energetic performances receive the most consistent acknowledgment across reviews, with several critics noting the film functions adequately as light, crowd-pleasing entertainment. However, the majority of critics point to a scattered, tonally inconsistent screenplay that undermines the comic premise, with recurring complaints about a shortage of genuinely funny moments, an overly exaggerated performance style, and a protagonist framed too passively to generate real dramatic conflict.

Ayushmann Khurrana's chaotic film has more confusion, less comedy. The film clothes it all in a modernity that can conceive women in jobs, women in open relationships, but not women whose life doesn't revolve around a man.

Pati, Patni Aur Woh Do is the kind of film that knows exactly what it wants to be and rarely loses sight of it. Packed with misunderstandings and energetic performances, it delivers enough laughs to justify the ride, even if some stretches work better than others.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is a laughter-filled rollercoaster powered by clever writing, situational chaos and entertaining performances. I walked into the theatre sleep-deprived and with absolutely no expectations, but walked out smiling from ear to ear. If chaotic comedies and situational humour are your comfort genre, this one is likely to entertain you thoroughly.

The film stays light and crowd-pleasing and avoids saying anything deeper - a clean, breezy entertainer.

6.0
Unfortunately, somewhere between marital satire, relationship comedy, emotional confusion and broad slapstick, the film loses sight of what exactly it wants to be. At its best, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do has flashes of the lively middle-class farce it aspires to become. But the screenplay remains too scattered, the tonal shifts too abrupt and the humour too inconsistent for the film to fully land.

Despite its promising premise and capable performers, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do gets too tangled in its own confusion to deliver consistent laughs.

4.0
If only Pati Patni Aur Woh Do were as funny as its director clearly intended it to be, that would have been another reason to celebrate. The film suffers from a severe shortage of genuinely funny one-liners and the screenplay lacks the sharpness needed for situational comedy to consistently land.

4.0
Despite one of the most interesting ensembles of recent times, which features some of the most dependable actors we have in the country today, Director Musassar Aziz is let down by a lifeless script. It is not a film about infidelity, but it is not a comedy of errors either. It almost comes close to becoming a comedy of terrors.

Ayushmann Khurrana hams it up as a forest guard trapped in a fake-cheating tangle involving three women, one man and one clueless wolf

Anuj Kumar· The Hindu
Not rated
At its best, the farce works as low-stakes popcorn entertainment but completely detaches itself from the grounded, socially progressive legacy of the parent banner. By keeping the protagonist innocent and merely a victim of circumstances, the film dilutes its own conflict, resulting in a safe, ultimately forgettable comedy.

Mudassar Aziz instructs the cast to perform in a highly exaggerated manner and deliver every line at high volume. Shouting out the dialogue doesn't make it funnier. Nor does slathering loud music in the background. Aziz, who directed the delightful Happy Bhag Jayegi all those moons ago, hasn't found the right pitch for his sly take on conventional morality ever since.
