Pati Patni Aur Woh Movie Review: A Cordial Reboot Of The Classic Maintaining The Novelty Value!

What’s Good: Not good, but THE BEST – Aparshakti Khurana & Kartik Aaryan’s secret formula of retaining the charm.

What’s Bad: Suffers from a slow build-up, the pace dips at places & just an inch away from being a breezy watch.

Loo Break: A couple of them in the first half of the first half and second half of the second half.

Watch or Not?: Watch it for the attempt of rebooting a classic & still holding the novelty value.

User Rating:

The story jumps between two cities of Lucknow & Kanpur from which we’ve lead from Vedika (Bhumi Pednekar) and Abhinav aka Chintu Tyagi (Kartik Aaryan). They both get hitched through an arranged marriage, in which Chintu is a confused husband who is scattered despite having his sh*t together. Vedika, on the other hand, is unfiltered and we see their journey from ‘just married’ to ‘rust married’ through one song.

Enters ‘woh’ Tapasya (Ananya Panday) and yahan Chintu pighal gaya. To find the missing ingredient in his marriage, he gets close to Tapasya and that’s where the issue starts. Even Vedika has a back-story about his past and that too gets grinded in this comedy of errors. The story majorly revolves around Chintu’s double-cross and he getting saved by his friend in need Fahim (Aparshakti Khurrana). Also, how all of this affects Vedika and Tapasya.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Movie Review: Script Analysis

For me, the movie won when it didn’t let me bore despite knowing the entire story. To fill in fun despite dodging the ghosts of predictability is the sweet spot hit by this modernised version of Sanjeev Kumar’s 1978 version. Mudassar Aziz gives very interesting one-liners to maintain the fun throughout. Talking about the major complaints – less rib-tickling humour, weak supporting cast.

Just can’t imagine why it’s not possible to put in jokes at regular intervals. When you’ve your leading cast doing well, you have the story structure ready, you just have to come up with some gags to evoke the laughter. Chirantan Das’s camera is limited to capture the touristy places of Lucknow & Kanpur, despite having every chance to explore the unexplored places. Ninad Khanolkar’s editing is tight, he doesn’t rush in cutting to complicate the important scenes.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Movie Review: Star Performance

Kartik Aaryan delivers a very controlled performance. He’s talking all the right routes to reach where he wants to be in Bollywood. With his portrayal of Chintu Sharma, he concretes his position of staying the heartthrob of teenagers. He definitely is adorable and it’s good to see him playing around the accent which goes well with his character. Also, once he loses that moustache, he does a commendable job in adapting the transition.

Despite Kartik Aaryan’s strong presence, Aparshakti Khurana will be the biggest takeaway for me. He gets the meatiest of one-liners and we already know his conviction of delivering those lines. He’s just brilliant, bringing the house down with his performance.

Ananya Panday gets a very uni-dimensional character, which needed to be work upon. She delivers what was instructed, but fails to bring in the impromptu improv. Bhumi Pednekar holds her charm as Patni and she comparatively gets a better character. Keeping the era in mind, her character gets a modern twist and she adapts that very well. A very desirable performance. Sunny Singh, who usually comes in a package with Kartik Aaryan (which we don’t at all mind), has a compelling cameo.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Movie Review: Direction, Music

Mudassar Aziz handles the modernized twists and turns very well. From the revelation point to the comedy of errors, Aziz makes sure to avoid the outdatedness from the topic. Though he takes time to build up the confusion, he holds it tight once he gets there. Emotions might be a turn-off for some people as they ambush the comical sequences.

The problem with the soundtrack is, the songs are better standalone and they lose their charm in the film. Despite Dheeme Dheeme and Tu Hi Yaar Mera, placement of Sachet Tandon’s Dilbara worked the most for me. It displayed the frustration of Chintu’s character well. They’ve ruined RITVIZ’s Udd Gaye. John Stewart Eduri could have done so much with the background score, but he follows the already taken route.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Movie Review: The Last Word

All said and done, Pati Patni Aur Woh is a fun reboot of a classic. A treat for Kartik girl-fans & one can watch it while enjoying a pretty portion of Nachos. Light-hearted fun!

Three stars!

A sub-genre of Bollywood is that of cheating partners and the comedy that ensures as a result. MASTI [2004], NO ENTRY [2005], GARAM MASALA [2006] etc are some of the successful films dealing with infidelity. But one of the first films that talked about this aspect with a dash of comedy was the 1978 flick PATI PATNI AUR WOH. It was directed by B R Chopra and now his grandson Juno Chopra is all set to present its remake, also titled PATI PATNI AUR WOH, with an exciting cast and scintillating music. So does PATI PATNI AUR WOH manage to entertain and tickle the funny bone of the audience? Or does it disappoint? Let’s analyse.

PATI PATNI AUR WOH is the story of the adventures of a cheating husband. Abhinav aka Chintu Tyagi (Kartik Aaryan) tops in his exams and secures a comfortable job in the PWD department in his hometown Kanpur. His parents (K K Raina and Navni Parihar) compel him to go for arranged marriage. He meets Vedika Tripathi (Bhumi Pednekar) for this reason. Sparks fly and they both get married. They even shift to their own house. Three years pass. A bit of boredom kicks in for Chintu. His parents taunt him for not having a child. Vedika meanwhile wants to shift to Delhi for a better life and she leaves no chance to diss Chintu for being content in his cocoon in Kanpur. In the midst of all this, Chintu one day meets Tapasya Singh (Ananya Panday). She comes through a reference to seek help for setting up a boutique in Kanpur. Chintu is given the opportunity to help her select a good plot. Chintu gets smitten by Tapasya and starts spending time with her. Tapasya finds out about his marital status. Afraid that she might stop meeting him after knowing that he has a wife, Chintu lies to Tapasya that he’s in an unhappy marriage and that his wife is cheating on him. Tapasya feels bad for Chintu and slowly even she starts to like him. All is going well for Chintu until one day Tapasya finds out the truth. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

PATI PATNI AUR WOH's basic idea is based on the premise of the original film. Jasmeet K Reen’s adaptation of the script however is not a copy paste job. A lot of modifications are done keeping in mind the changing times and also because audiences have seen many such films. Hence the second half especially provides lot of surprise which is not seen in any other film of this league. Mudassar Aziz's screenplay has a few rough edges here and there but overall it’s very tight, neat and more importantly, entertaining. Mudassar Aziz's dialogues are one of the highpoints. The one liners are so witty and funny that they will surely be greeted with whistles and claps.

Mudassar Aziz's direction is excellent and does total justice to the plot in hand. He adds a lot of freshness to the film in so many respects. Firstly, it’s praiseworthy how the names of the towns are mentioned in such a cool way in the beginning. Secondly, the manner in which Kartik and Bhumi's characters address each other with their respective surnames is cute. The fact that Vedika retains her maiden surname gives a hint of the progressive nature of the script in the beginning itself and later on, one gets to see it in all its glory. Also, Chintu is naughty but he’s never vulgar. He never refers to Tapasya in an objectionable manner. The director however slightly slips in handling the climax twist. It’s no doubt unpredictable but seems difficult to digest.

PATI PATNI AUR WOH's beginning scene is quite well shot and sets the mood totally. The beginning of the flashback however is when the film drops. The intention is good since the makers are trying to show how Chintu's life has turned monotonous. Individually it works but as a part of the film, it fails to totally entice. The fun begins once Vedika enters the scene and how Chintu goes head over heels over her. What adds to the fun is that the dialogues are hilarious. Also the film has a lot of many other characters and they also contribute to the madness. This is especially in the second half once Vedika finds out the truth and she goes all out to show her anger. These developments ensure that the film doesn’t turn too serious or sad. The makers had promised lot of entertainment and laughter and the film provides that in abundance!

Kartik, Ananya & Bhumi’s MADDEST & CRAZIEST rapid fire ever | Pati Patni Aur Woh | Sara | Kiara | Hrithik

Kartik Aaryan underplays his part in a terrific manner. He completely looks like a small town simpleton and it’s great to see how he infuses humour to the proceedings. His act as the shattered person in pre climax is also something to watch out for. Bhumi Pednekar gets to play a superb character and she shines! She understands her part and brings the required characteristics appropriately. Ananya Panday has a fantastic screen presence and performance wise, she is first rate. She maintains her strong position of herself despite the presence of so many talented actors. Aparshakti Khurana (Fahim Rizvi) is the big surprise of the film and rocks the show. See it to believe it! Shubham Kumar (Rakesh Yadav) is another actor who has a significant role and entertains audiences thoroughly. K K Raina, Navni Parihar, Rajesh Sharma (Vedika's father) and Geeta Agarwal (Vedika’s mother) are decent. However, Neeraj Sood (Brijesh Pandey) is too good. Manurishi Chadha (Inspector Mukhtar Singh) leaves a mark. Sunny Singh (Doga) looks dashing and is very nice in the special appearance. Kriti Sanon (Neha Khanna) adds to the oomph with her appearance in a scene.

Songs are fine and don’t act as obstacles. 'Ankhiyon Se Goli Mare' is played during the end credits. 'Dheeme Dheeme' is foot tapping while 'Dilbara' is shot well. John Stewart Eduri's background score is nothing great. But the use of MAIN HOON NA song as background track is a great idea.

Chirantan Das's cinematography captures the locales of Kanpur and Lucknow well. The intro scene is spectacular. Tariq Umar Khan's production design is realistic. Niharika Bhasin's costumes are as per the requirement. The ones worn by Ananya are glamorous while those donned by Bhumi suit her character nicely. Ninad Khanolkar's editing is neat.

On the whole, PATI PATNI AUR WOH is a fun filled entertainer which is also quite progressive in many ways. At the box office, the strong buzz coupled with Kartik Aaryan's presence will ensure a healthy business at the box office window. Recommended!

Pati Patni Aur Woh Movie Review: Pati Patni Aur Woh is delightfully funny

Harshada Rege, TNN, Dec 4, 2019, 11.29 PM IST

Critic's Rating: 3.5

STORY: The film, a modern take on the cult comedy-drama by the same name (1978), follows the escapades of a married man, who falls for another woman, and the chaos that ensues.

REVIEW: Abhinav Tyagi aka Chintu Tyagi (Kartik), a government employee from Kanpur, is smitten by the feisty Vedika (Bhumi) when their parents get them to meet each other as a prospective match. Soon, they tie the knot. The couple seems to be enjoying marital bliss until Tapasya Singh (Ananya) walks into their life. She adds a dash of sass and spice to Chintu’s otherwise mundane existence. He now wants to spend time with the young girl, who is in Kanpur to look for a plot to set up a workshop for her boutique in Delhi. When Chintu feels that she is hesitant to be friendly with him due to his marital status, he spins a yarn. Adding to the madness is his friend Fahim Rizvi (Aparshakti), who sometimes aids Chintu in his exploits, and at times adds to his troubles. Unfortunately, things go out of control and lead to a lot of confusion and drama.


Kartik as Chintu Tyagi strikes the right balance as a man who breaks away from the routine when an opportunity presents itself. The actor has a charming screen presence and makes the most of his part. Once again, he strikes with a monologue, something that’s become a trademark for Kartik. This time around, however, he isn’t ranting about the women in his life, but talks about the rut that most middle-class men get caught in.

Bhumi is in good form as the ambitious Vedika (Chintu’s wife). She is a teacher, who has her own fan following among her students, and even flaunts a glam avatar. The actress has proved that she can get into the skin of any character and does the same with ease this time around, too.


Ananya, who made debut earlier this year with ‘Student Of The Year 2’, shows a lot of improvement. She does need to work on certain aspects like her dialogue delivery, but she seems to have found her comfort zone in front of the camera. Besides the three central characters, Aparshakti Khurana, with his noteworthy comic timing, often steals the scene. He has proved time and again that he is an asset to any film. The actor has shared screen space with Kartik in ‘Luka Chuppi’, and their easy camaraderie is evident in this movie, too. It’s their scenes together that bring in the most laughs.

Filmmaker Mudassar Aziz, who has directed films like ‘Happy Bhaag Jayegi’ (2016) and ‘Happy Phirr Bhaag Jayegi’ (2018), has a firm hold over the romcom genre. Though he takes some time to set up the plot, he doesn't let the film deviate from its path. He keeps the film breezy and ensures that there are enough funny dialogues and witty one-liners to keep you hooked. He keeps the narrative simple and avoids getting into the preachy zone. Though the plot is known, the director manages to keep you invested throughout. Though this is a remake of the Sanjeev Kumar-starrer, the treatment given to it is such that it is relevant even to the viewers today.

The dialogues are funny, but though words like ‘kantap’ are used, it seems to be a superficial attempt at adding a local flavour. A tighter edit would have helped quicken the pace, but thankfully, there aren’t too many songs popping up. Watch out for two special appearances and a throwback to the original film, when Kartik hums, ‘Thande thande paani se’.

If you are looking for some good entertainment this weekend, this one could be a delightful watch.

Pati Patni Aur Woh movie review : out rightly funny & winningly emotional

Pati Patni Aur Woh

| 05 Dec 2019 09:28:07 IST

PATI PATNI AUR WOH movie review is here. The remake of the 1978 classic comedy by the legendary B.R. Chopra that starred Sanjeev Kumar, Vidya Sinha, and Ranjeeta, stars Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Pandey in the new age version.

Directed by Mudassar Aziz, PATI PATNI AUR WOH is releasing on December 06, 209. Does the new age version does justice?. Let’s find out in the movie review of PATI PATNI AUR WHO

Immediate reaction when the end credits roll
Remakes, adaptations is a tricky business, especially if you touch classics like PATI PATNI AUR WOH, an extra care is a must as the soul of the original needs to be protected.

Thankfully writer-director Mudassar Aziz brings in the fresh charm and wit in this out rightly funny & winningly emotional adaptation of B.R. Chopra’s classic comedy that is cheerfully in sync with today’s time and the movie’s theme.

The Story of PATI PATNI AUR WOH
Abhinav aka Chintu Tyagi (Kartik Aaryan) is a happily married PWD employee in Kanpur. Abhinav’s wife Vedika Tripathi (Bhumi Pednekar) desires to settle in Delhi. Due to this desire, Abhinav is not able to extend his family and fulfill the wishes of his parents to become grandparents.

A suave Tapasya Singh (Ananya Panday) enters Abhinav’s office to seek help for setting up a boutique in Kanpur. Smitten by the irresistible of Tapasya, Abhinav aka Chintu starts flirting with his fantasies and dreams. Abhinav and Chintu become friends. The adventures of Chintu are going as per his desires, but what will happen when Tapasya comes to know the truth?, what about Vedika Tripathi in this whole scenario?. The movie answers all these questions.

PATI PATNI AUR WOH movie review
An in-sync adaptation of a known classic that respects the soul and is aware what it wants to be, in Jasmeet K Reen’s adaptation of the original written by Kamleshwar and helmed by the prolific B.R. Chopra, the Padma Bhushan awarded filmmaker has introduced his own adage in relationship in classics like GUMRAH (1963), HAMRAAZ (1967) NIKAAH(1982), TAWAIF (1985). The 1978 original was a comic take on infidelity that also touched the issue of misogyny in the society beginning with the animated intro of Adam and Eve.

Here in Jasmeet K Reen’s adaptation, the movie begins with the young Abhinav awaiting his results and its bang on target. Thankfully, this remake – better to call it as an adaptation is not at all a cut paste job. It’s independent and remarkably modified. He combo of writer-director Mudassar Aziz and Jasmeet K Reen, comes with delightful surprises and the humour is kept intact. Sometimes sly sometimes straight, the kanpuriya milieu, the surprise twist and smart character arcs with crowd-pleasing dialogues, make PATI PATNI AUR WOH a delightful watch throughout.

Powered by some topnotch performance, PATI PATNI AUR WOH sees Kartik Aaryan completely under the skin of his character. Adapting the character as a pro and with the makers in the most remote way not at all trying to be in competition with the original classic, Kartik gets the freedom to have a go at Chintu and he excels.

Bhumi Pednekar gets a strong role to play and the actress is just amazing.

Ananya Panday is endearing throughout as the beauty with heart and brains and she is so natural. The actress finds an instant connection with the audience.

Aparshakti Khurana who plays Fahim Rizvi – BFF of Kartik is a revelation, getting some best lines and best scenes, Aparshakti Khurana can claim PATI PATNI AUR WOH as his best till date.

Shubham Kumar as Rakesh Yadav is a delight.

From the other supporting cast, K K Raina, Navni Parihar, Rajesh Sharma, Geeta Agarwal, chip in with valuable support. However, Brijesh Pandey manages to get something extra and he is too good.

Special mention of Manurishi Chadha as the cop, Sunny Singh as Doga in a cameo and finally Kriti Sanon during the climax is a must.

Chirantan Das captures the essence of Kanpur and Lucknow to perfection. Tariq Umar Khan's production design is adequate. Ninad Khanolkar's editing is sharp.

 Flaws
The movie takes its time to settle and the real fun only begins with the entry of Ananya Pandey. The pre-climax is funnier while the climax seems to be hurried. A degree of predictability does make its presence felt.

Final words
PATI PATNI AUR WOH –remake of the legendary B.R. Chopra’s 1978 classic by Mudassar Aziz is illuminated right from beginning in its honesty and respect for the original. In sync with today’s time with a decisive edge coming from a surprise twist in character graph, this debate on the ‘who’ of woh’ finds solace in its pleasing humour wrapped in wining emotions and top-notch performance.

Is Pati or Patni mein ‘woh’ baat hai jo ‘aur’ remakes mein nahi.

Rating 4/5
