What is the film about?In the film, Ayushmann Khurrana plays Prajapati Pandey, a well-meaning but increasingly overwhelmed man trapped in a series of misunderstandings involving multiple women and family chaos. During the trailer launch, Ayushmann had clarified that the film does not promote infidelity and described it as just a comedy of errors. At the event, he addressed the film’s storyline, emphasising that it does not endorse infidelity.“Yeh film inn charun ke beech mein kya chal raha hai uspe hai. At the same time, I think yeh jo mera role hai Prajapati Pandey ka… He is a green flag. He is a complete green flag, uska moral Compass bilkul correct hai (The film is about what happens between the four characters… At the same time, I think my character, Prajapati Pandey, is a green flag. He is a complete green flag, his moral compass is absolutely right),” Ayushmann said.The film acts as a spiritual follow-up to the 2019 hit Pati Patni Aur Woh, led by Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday, though it tells a completely new story with a fresh cast setup.Competition is getting tougherThe road ahead, however, may not remain easy. Entering its third week, the film is now competing with newer releases, including Chand Mera Dil starring Ananya Panday and Lakshya, along with major Hollywood releases like Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. The growing competition has already reduced the film’s overall show count and screen availability.
