The film takes off from the iconic 1966 film of the same name, "Pati Patni Aur Woh," which starred Prithviraj Kapoor, Sridevi, and Ranjit. The original movie depicted the subtle nuances of a seemingly perfect marriage and the third person who complicates the relationship. The 2019 version flips the narrative on its head, offering a contemporary take on an age-old love triangle.
"Pati Patni Aur Woh" is a 2019 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Abhishek Jain and produced by Kumar Mangalam Birla, Vishal Chandrashekhar, and Shobha Kapoor under the banner of Birla Pictures and Shobha Kapoor & Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions. The film stars Bhumi Pednekar, Rajkummar Rao, and Seema Biswas in leading roles.
The movie explores themes of love, marriage, societal expectations, and personal freedom. It's a heartwarming and humorous exploration of the complexities of relationships and individual identity within them.
The story revolves around Ronny (played by Rajkummar Rao), a charming, albeit somewhat irresponsible young man; his wife, Tapasya (played by Bhumi Pednekar), a successful businesswoman; and their entry into a complicated love triangle with Chitra (played by Seema Biswas), who here symbolizes a catalyst character from the original.
The film received mixed reviews from critics but was well-received by audiences. The performances of the lead actors, particularly Bhumi Pednekar and Rajkummar Rao, were praised for their chemistry and portrayal of their characters.
