The film draws inspiration from the golden era of Hindi cinema, tapping into a storytelling tradition audiences have cherished for decades. It explores a space where misunderstandings spiral into hilarity, every character adds a new layer to the narrative, and the humour feels both organic and timeless.

I’ve always admired that style of storytelling, seen in timeless films like Padosan, Chupke Chupke, Angoor and Gol Maal. They are a laugh riot and I’m hoping Pati Patni Aur Woh Do will also be the same for people.” Disclaimer: We …
