Mrs

This movie is quite epic in terms of the issue it tackles and how it handles it. "Mrs." revolves around the life of a young woman who is married into a seemingly educated and modern family, but the family turns out to be highly orthodox. It does not allow its women to work outside the kitchen and treats them just as some glorified domestic help.

The director does a good job on showcasing how these "values" are passed on through generations and older women hav grown accustomed to it. The actors play their characters very well. The father, chief patron of the house, and his son: these characters have been played so well that though they do not show an iota of violence throughout most of the runtime, your blood boils on seeing them on screen.

However, I think this movie could have done with better editing in the initial parts whcih is filled with long awkward pauses and weird background foley sounds.

Overall, this movie should be watched with your family and if they get uncomfortable with it, then I think it is the right time to start discussion around it.

Yet another Sanya Malhotra film that quietly drops on OTT and gets added to her other "underrated gems." Mrs is good, but it could have been great-if only it had better supporting characters instead of a walking, talking red flag factory.

The film is essentially an emotional beatdown for the main character, Richa. Whether you relate to her or not, you will feel bad for her because every other character exists solely to make her life miserable. Her family? Useless. Support? Nonexistent.

And here's the problem-good character writing requires some balance. You need flaws and redeeming qualities, but the supporting cast here is just a collection of people belittling women or being subtly (and not-so-subtly) prejudiced. Because of this, the film unintentionally lets some viewers off the hook. A lot of men watching this will think, Wait, I've never treated anyone this badly. This isn't me. And just like that, the film's social message loses its punch.

That being said, Mrs is visually stunning. The symbolism is great. Richa adjusting only the female statues while ignoring the male ones was a nice touch. The cinematography was on point. The background score? Could've been better.

Overall, Mrs is a well-made film, but one that leans too hard into misery without giving the audience much else. A little nuance in the supporting characters could have elevated this from sad to powerful. Instead, it's just really sad.

The entire movie, I kept waiting-now she'll take action, now she'll take action-but that moment never came. The story had potential, but the execution felt weak, with a frustrating lack of a strong comeback for the protagonist. Instead of evoking sympathy for Sanya, the film just bored me.

The pacing was slow, and the narrative felt more like an extended cooking reality show than an impactful drama. While the performances were decent, the screenplay failed to deliver the emotional punch it promised. Overall, Mrs was underwhelming and left me disappointed rather than moved. Skip it if you can, won't recommend .

"Mrs" is a captivating blend of emotion, resilience, and empowerment, elevated by a deeply moving storyline. The film beautifully explores the complexities of womanhood, independence, and societal expectations, all wrapped up in a compelling narrative that keeps you engaged throughout.

Santa Malhotra delivers a phenomenal performance, embodying the character with grace, strength, and vulnerability. Her nuanced portrayal brings authenticity to every scene, making her journey genuinely relatable and heartfelt. Her ability to convey emotions with subtle expressions is a testament to her remarkable talent.

The film's direction and pacing are commendable, with a well-crafted script that avoids clichés while delivering powerful messages. A must-watch for those seeking meaningful cinema led by an outstanding performance.

What looks like a perfect marriage on paper turns into a gilded prison. Our protagonist rushes into matrimony blinded by the allure of wealth, medical prestige, and material possessions. The film painfully illustrates how these superficial attractions crumble when faced with the reality of incompatible personalities and values.

The lead actress convincingly portrays the gradual disillusionment as she realizes no amount of financial security can compensate for emotional connection. While the premise is compelling, the execution feels somewhat predictable. The film serves as a cautionary tale about prioritizing status over substance in relationships, but offers little new insight into this well-worn theme.

A stark reminder that compatibility and personality trump possessions every time, though the message deserved more nuanced delivery.
