## Relationship to the 1978 original
The 1978 film, directed by B.R. Chopra, starred [Sanjeev Kumar](https://www.edgepedia.org/sanjeev-kumar) as the husband Ranjeet, Vidya Sinha as the wife Sharda, and Ranjeeta as the mistress Nirmala; in that story a sales manager invents a fatally ill wife to win the sympathy of his new secretary.[11](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/revisiting-1978-film-pati-patni-aur-woh-6147981/) The remake keeps the title, the production-house lineage, and the love-triangle premise but changes much else: the "woh" is no longer the husband's secretary, the lead couple has no son, and the setting moves to small-town Kanpur.[12](https://www.filmfestivals.com/blog/siraj_syed/pati_patni_aur_woh_review_eternal_try_angle) One reviewer noted that Aziz retains the basic idea but changes key plot points, character details, plot progression, and much of what happens toward the end.[13](https://www.dailypioneer.com/uploads/2019/epaper/december/hyderabad-english-edition-2019-12-08.pdf) The remake was produced by the Chopra family's next generation, with Juno Chopra as creative producer.[7](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7a1JSeqaXk)
## Reception
**Critical response was mixed.** On Rotten Tomatoes the film scored 43% on the Tomatometer from 14 reviews, with 6 fresh and 8 rotten and an average of 5.30/10 among rated reviews, and 36% on the audience Popcornmeter.[8](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pati_patni_aur_woh_2019) Anupama Chopra of Film Companion found it a lively, funny, and at least superficially progressive remake that did not always succeed; Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave it 2/5, and NDTV, Firstpost, and The Quint each gave 2.5/5.[8](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pati_patni_aur_woh_2019) The Times of India gave 3.5/5, praising the performances and witty dialogue while noting that tighter editing would have improved the pace, and Filmfare's Devesh Sharma also gave 3.5/5, calling it a comedy that hits on real issues.[14](https://www.bollywood.com/movies/pati-patni-aur-woh/reviews/) • [1](https://www.filmfare.com/reviews/bollywood-movies/pati-patni-aur-woh-movie-review-37814.amp) A Nepali review rated it 3/5 and singled out the songs "Dheeme Dheeme" and "Akhiyon Se" and the film's naturalistic portrayal of Kanpur middle-class life.[15](https://nepalmag.com.np/art/2019/12/13/20191213162830)
**The gender politics drew sustained criticism.** At the trailer launch, Bhumi Pednekar said the film was not sexist, responding to a viral clip in which Kartik Aaryan's character lamented the predicament of middle-class men; the dialogue was subsequently changed, though director Mudassar Aziz maintained there was nothing wrong with it.[16](https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/art-and-culture/pati-patni-aur-woh-a-woeful-remake-remains-faithful-to-its-problematic-origin-6155187/) [The Indian Express](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-indian-express)'s review called the remake "woeful," arguing that the male protagonist still takes no accountability for cheating and lying and is forgiven by both women.[16](https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/art-and-culture/pati-patni-aur-woh-a-woeful-remake-remains-faithful-to-its-problematic-origin-6155187/) By contrast, Telegraph India's review argued the film celebrates women who are financially independent decision-makers for whom a husband is no longer a refuge.[17](https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/pati-patni-aur-woh-review-celebrating-the-woman-of-today/cid/1724766)
