Mrs Undercover

Mrs. Undercover is a Bollywood Masala Potboiler with a strong female lead (Radhika Apte), set against the backdrop of Kolkata. The film features a relatively unknown cast of Tollywood actors, who deliver solid performances throughout.

Radhika delivers a powerful and compelling performance, perfectly capturing the transformation of a timid housewife to a badass undercover agent. The plot however seems a little too childish at times and editing also could have been better.

The depiction of Kolkata adds an authentic and immersive feel to the film, making it a must-watch for fans of the city.

However, similar to Tooth Pari, the pacing of Mrs. Undercover is flawed, with certain scenes feeling rushed while others are drawn out. Despite this, the film is an entertaining and engaging watch, featuring a strong female protagonist and enough thrills to satisfy fans of the genre.

This movie is annoyingly stupid. Nothing is solid. Weak story, weak dialogues, weak actions. No humour, no drama. No suspense. Not a single justification of its existence! Amature writing and direction.

OTT platforms giving to good projects, stories to reach larger audience and vice versa but this movie is example of Waste of so many Talented actors. Im sure they have approached many platforms and got rejected and end up releasing it on zee5.

Thank god I watched it alone or else I would have looked more stupid in front of my friends and family. Last such stupid movie I saw was, ' Shaka Laka Boom Boom'

You don't expect Radhika Apte in such fun filled film. But believe me she is looking good in it. Although the concept seems childish yet the story and performances make it believable.

Apart from the fun angle the movie also give a message of women empowerment nicely through the film's narration.

You will be surprise to see Sumit Vyas's character. He has performed it perfectly. Rajesh Sharma as Radhika Apte's boss is also entertaining.

With OTT platforms it has become easy to experiment not only with subjects but also with the actors and their potentials. Zee 5 is doing it greatly with many actors and subjects.

Was expecting something serious, some action thriller, but few minutes into the movie, realized it will be the more of comedy then anything else.

Radhika Apte, is a fine actress, she has the ability to carry out any kind of role and over here the entire movie on her shoulders. Though the action director of the movie is too silly, therefore some bad action scenes, or perhaps the producers was being too cheap for any serious expenses.

Rajesh Sharma, an old actor and played the usual good. Rest of the cast, Sumeet Vyas etc heartless time pass acting.

Short Verdict

You watch you dont watch, not a big difference.

Hollywood/Bollywood/other industries sometimes make these films in which, the comedy is over-the-top, the action is over-the-top and you'll either walk out of the hall satisfied because there was more of what you wanted or leave thinking that the movie was neither here nor there.

For me, Mrs Undercover was in the latter category (you might feel differently) Radhika Apte is a GOOD actor and I thought I'd watch it for her. She did what she could to try and save this poorly written story but.....that sadly wasn't enough. It felt like she was bored and wanted to do something for fun so she said yes whatever random story made its way to her table first.

Other than the over-the-top action and comedy, (for me) there was too much of a commercial angle to it (think of the heroism and poses in a Salman Khan film) and the message got a little too cheesy in the climax.

For films like these, the audience is generally expected to switch their minds off but if you have an important message to share, how do you expect to take the message seriously if we can't take the film seriously? If that wasn't why the message was there, why keep have it in the movie to begin with?

This could have been a good action comedy or a serious action movie with a good message with a very different side of Radhika Apte's acting on offer, but...missed opportunity.
