The two main releases of the week suffered on the first day with low collections. There were no expectations from Aakhri Sawal but Pati Patni Aur Woh Do was expected to do better. It was not about smashing the box office or anything but it should have got more than 3.50-3.75 crore nett it has managed to get.

Even if the units did not really work for the film then at least some franchise factor should have got more people into the theatres. The film is made in that commercial rom com format so there are limitations as to where it can go post the first day. The growth will come on Saturday but it has be double or near and that just wont happen. The film needed to open to 5-6 crore nett and it is well short of that. The genre is a struggle in present times and this film is one more proof of this. 

When it was Hindi Cinema and not the profanity Bo!!yw@@d this genre actually did not exist but in the recent past it has became a favoured one despite results not being great. There would hardly be a rom com in the golden years of 1960-1985 and even maybe till the end of the 90's. 

Pati Patni Aur Woh in 2019 had opened over 8 crore nett so the collections here are less than 50% of that film. Its going to be a tough ride for Pati Patni Aur Woh Do. Aakhri Sawal collected around 30 lakhs nett but nothing was expected here and the film had little awareness.
