"Pati, Patni aur Woh (पती, पत्नी और वो)"

Watched Hindi movie Pati, Patni aur Woh (पती, पत्नी और वो). Directed by Mudassar Aziz, Produced by Renu Ravi Chopra, Bhushan Kumar, Kiran Kumar, Juno Chopra. Writing credits Mudassar Aziz. Cinematography Chirantan Das. Music Tanishq Bagchi, Rochak Kohli, Sachet Parampara, Tony Kakkar and others. It stars Kartik Aryan, Bhumi Pednekar, Ananya Panday, Aparshakti Khurana, Sunny Singh, Rajesh Sharma, Navni Parihar, KK Raina, Manu Rishi, Neeraj Sood . I watched this movie with Aditi, Sucheeta, Jayant, Sameer and Pooja. The movie is about 2 hour 3 min long and was released in Dec 2019.

Kartik works in PWD department. Kartik and Bhumi have an arranged marriage and stay in a small city. They love each other, however over a period of 3 years, monotony sets in. Bhumi's gnawing to move to Delhi is also a factor. Enter Ananya. Kartik is attracted. Then come the usual lies and faithful friend Aparshakti to rescue everytime.

How long can the lies be sustained? Will Bhumi come to know? Will Ananya come to know? How will it end?

The story is decent in first half. You don't regret decision of watching the movie but second half spoils everything. Director seems clueless about where movie is going. He loses control. Climax is laughable. Ananya's change of heart is simply unconvincing. First of all the affair between Kartik and Ananya itself is unconvincing. Audience keep looking at the watch in second half to determine how long they have to endure. 

Kartik acts well. But his acting is no different than 'Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety'. He needs to bring in variety. Although Bhumi acts well, looks Kartik's mother, rather than wife. Ananya looks good but she has to now start acting. Aparshakti is the best actor of the movie. He handles the role gracefully and with ease. Other actors play supporting roles.

Cinematography is good. The drone shot is very good. Music does not linger in your memory. Some of the dialogues are very good but just dialogues are not enough to uplift the movie. 

Give it a miss.
