Pati Patni Aur Woh, which released in theatres on 6 December, has registered good opening weekend figures and is performing comfortably even after the weekend is over. The film has made Rs 41.64 crore in the first four days.
The film made Rs 9.10 crore on the opening day, Rs 12.33 crore on Saturday, Rs 14.51 crore on Sunday, and Rs 5.70 crore on Monday. According to trade analysts, the film will easily cross Rs 50 crore.
Pati Patni Aur Woh has thus registered the highest opening weekend figures of Kartik Aaryan’s career. The actor’s previous highest opener was his last release, earlier this year, Luka Chuppi, which had made Rs 32.13 crore in three days.
Made at a budget of around Rs 20 crore, the romantic comedy, also starring Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday, is already set to become a hit at the box office. The first Monday figures should give a better indication as to how big a hit it will be.
Arjun Kapoor-Kriti Sanon starrer Panipat, which released on the same day, had a poor start, on the othe hand. According to Boxofficeindia.com, the film collected only Rs 17.5 crore on the opening weekend. The film earned Rs 4 crore on day one, Rs 6 crore on day two and Rs 7.5 crore on day three.
Considering the high budget of this Ashutosh Gowariker historical, which is around Rs 100 crore, the box-office numbers are quite underwhelming.
Directed by Mudassar Aziz, Pati Patni Aur Woh is a remake of BR Chopra’s 1978 film by the same name.
