Pati Patni Aur Woh vs Panipat box office collection: Kartik Aaryan set to beat Arjun Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt on day 1

Pati Patni Aur Woh vs Panipat box office collection: This is a big weekend for Bollywood that has witnessed an exceptional year in terms of box office. The week marks the release of two big films - Kartik Aryan, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday starrer Pati Patni Aur Woh and Arjun Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Sanjay Dutt starrer Panipat. The latter has been directed by Ashutosh Govarikar which further adds to its fame. But, seems like it will end up as second best, at least on day 1. Film trade analyst, critic and influencer Sumit Kadel has revealed that Pati Patni Aur Woh has taken a better opening than Panipat.

In a tweet on Friday morning, Kadel revealed that while Kartik Aryan starrer has got about 25 per cent to 30 per cent occupancy in the morning shows, Panipat only managed to fill 10 per cent to 15 per cent seats across India. The word of mouth has also been better for Pati Patni Woh which should allow it to gain momentum over the weekend.

"#PatiPatniAurWoh off to a good start at the box office as the opened with 25-30% occupancy in morning shows. #Panipat starts with a poor occupancy of approx 10-15% in morning shows across India," Kadel tweeted. In another tweet, Kadel praised Pati Patni Aur Woh for being an entertainer.

"#PatiPatniaurWoh is a decent entertainer, boasts rib tickling hilarious sequences &  a pertinent message, 2nd half could have been a lot better. @TheAaryanKartik act is FAB, @bhumipednekar shines again,#Ananya is fair. Good one time watch," he tweeted.

At the same time, he called Panipat a waste of money for its poor performance. "#Panipat is a MAMMOTH wastage of Money & Resources. Its an amalgamation of many period war drama blockbusters but falls completely flat in execution & performances by the lead actors .Duration of 3 hrs could make audience feel they’re in a battlefield," he tweeted.
