Ayushmann Khurrana released a reprised version of the love song "Dil Waale Chor" from the movie "Pati Patni Aur Woh Do" online [1].
The release serves as a strategic promotional tool to build anticipation and surprise fans immediately before the film hits Indian theaters [1, 2].
The reimagined track was dropped on May 14, 2024 [1, 2]. This release occurred exactly one day before the film's scheduled theatrical debut on May 15, 2024 [2].
Khurrana, who is both an actor and a singer, provided the vocals for this specific version of the song [1]. The track was made available to the public via the official T-Series YouTube channel [3].
Music is often used in the Indian film industry to drive opening-weekend ticket sales. By releasing a second, reimagined version of a key track so close to the premiere, the production team aims to maximize digital engagement [1, 2].
"Pati Patni Aur Woh Do" features Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan [2]. The film is positioned as a romantic project, and the "Dil Waale Chor" reprise is intended to highlight the emotional warmth associated with the lead characters [1].

The timing of this song release reflects a common Bollywood marketing tactic where 'reprise' or 'unplugged' versions of soundtracks are used to maintain momentum in the final 24 hours before a movie's premiere. By leveraging Khurrana's dual identity as a playback singer and lead actor, the studio increases the film's visibility across both music streaming platforms and cinematic promotional channels.
