Sense of humor..
Spoilers ahead..
Chintu Tyagi (Kartik Aaryan) is middle class man who is not much happy with his life that lacks fun and has become boring, whether its at work or his wife Vedika Tripathi (Bhumi Pednekar) who herself is a teacher. She keeps telling Chintu that she would love to live in Delhi than Kanpur. And then enters Tapasya Singh (Ananya Panday), who has come from Delhi, on a work basis and meets Chintu. He is immediately attracted towards her and ends up lieing about Vedika having an affair to get sympathy and be able to spend more time with her.
Its a remake of the well known movie by same title in the 70s that starred Sanjeev Kumar. I haven't seen that movie, but knowing the story, there's definately one change, in that one it was the secretary at work he had affair with, and here its a client who meets regularly for finding a plot and thereby develops a bonding. In a way its more progressive, the melodrama even in a scene when Vedika finds out the truth, is very underplayed which was good to see.
But I just felt the comedy kept falling flat with most of the punchlines not really working. Kartik Aaryan is in his usual 'I have a fucked up life mode', and a monologue again thankfully shorter one this time. Its become tiring to watch him, maybe Imtiaz's movie would bring some change. Also it doesn't help when actress is Bhumi Pednekar who I somehow find not interesting enough even though she acts well. Maybe its the effect of her last few films. While Ananya Panday looks great, actingwise found her wooden throughout.
Shubham Kumar who plays 'Rakesh', a student in Vedika's class, in a somewhat of spoof from 'Main Hoon Na' was best part of the movie, albeit it was a small role. Also, Aparshakti Khurana playing best friend of 'Chintu' gets some good scenes, he is getting typecasted however in similar kind of roles everytime.
Pati Patni Aur Woh fails for me, despite it not taking a vulgar path which most other movies would having the affair story, if only the punchlines were strong and a lead cast was different.
My Rating : 4/10
