Pati Patni Aur Woh Vs. Panipat Box Office Prediction: The Kartik Aaryan Film Could Beat Arjun Kapoor's Historical Drama On Opening Day

With Friday round the corner it’s nearly time for Kartik Aaryan, Ananya Pandey and Bhumi Pednekar’s Pati Patni Aur Woh and Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon starrer Panipat to hit the sliver screens. The first film that is a remake of B.R. Chopra’s 1978 classic of the same name promises a modern twist to the tale has a lot of fan expectations to live upto and so far all the buzz around the movie is positive as it can be. Arjun’s Panipat has Ashutosh Gowariker returning with another historical drama based on the story of the third Battle of Panipat celebrating the Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau.

While the films are poles apart in content and giving fans ample choice the box office clash of the two has odds favoring Pati Patni Aur Woh a notch above Panipat. According to our predictions Patni Patni Aur Woh may take an opening of 8 to 9 crores and the historical drama Panipat will be a bit slower bringing in Rs. 7 to 8 crores on Friday.

Kartik Aaryan’s film a light hearted comedy and despite a controversy for its marital rape dialogue in the trailer the film has maintained a positive buzz. Panipat on the other hand has had several comparisons to Baji Rao Mastani to beat along with some controversies including one dialogue that irked the descendents of the Peshwa’s family and another with Marathi novelist Vishwas Patil claiming that the plot has been lifted from the 1988 novel with the same name.

Bollywood’s last big hit was Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Bala that earned Rs. 114 crores at the box office and these two films might benefit from the slowdown that the box office has witnessed since.
