The dialogue was written in poor taste according to a slew of Twitter users, when it was supposed to evoke laughter.

Some twitter users took matters into their own hands, citing outrage, they wrote, "I am an aspiring filmmaker taking a Screenwriting course. And I strongly condemn the views of writer, director and the producer of #PatiPatniAurWoh to write absolutely irresponsibly on marital rape. I request you to take that particular line out from the final cut."

Another user went on to say, "#PatiPatniAurWoh its really bad to have such movies in the era of such beautiful message driven movies. We need to come out of this and support original comedy."

The movie’s main aim is to promote gender equality and is set to reach theaters on December 6. 

Twitter users advised the film’s writers to cut and rewrite the dialogue before it makes it to the audience.
