Plot

The movie is about a qualified but short, middle-aged man named Mithilesh (Rajpal Yadav) and his insecurities about his height & personality, when he marries Veena (Rituparna Sengupta). He had never imagined such a pretty and well grounded woman would marry a commoner. As his married life progresses with his devoted wife, his insecurities continue to grow. He becomes jealous of his friend Saleem, (Varun Badola), Veena's childhood friend Akash, (Kay Kay Menon) and others who he claims are infatuated. Slowly, he suspects a change in Veena's behavior and starts believing she wants a divorce. Being a loving husband he confesses his fear to Veena. But the hidden truth, disclosed at the very end, ultimately brings the couple closer.

Footnotes
  1. The name of the film is a play of words on the late 1970s hit movie Pati Patni Aur Woh. The Hindi pronoun Woh in both films refers to a 3rd person, of whom the hero is suspicious. In the current movie, it refers to several persons, most important of whom are the protagonist's friend Saleem, (Varun Badola) and his wife Veena's childhood friend Akash, (Kay Kay Menon)
