Mrs

Such a nice breath of fresh air with the old conservative thoughts which is frustrating the women in the kitchen for such a long time. The story very well deals with the idea and shows us the day to day life of how our mothers and grandmothers have been treated. The acting performances were good and kept you engaged in the story. Music is a part which could have been worked upon and the ending seemed a bit rushed, could have played the ending well but apart from that, it was a really delicious dish. Recommended. Must watch for all the man-child out there. It will give you the picture of how Indian society works, and how it should stop doing that.

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.

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.

This movie will be found relatable by many Indian middle class families since it chronicles the travails of an Indian housewife as she tries to cope up with the endless domestic demands of the male members of the family. There are the stereotypes no doubt , the docile suppressed wife, the ever busy husband, the critical father in law etc. A young woman Richa ( Sanya Malhotra) who is accomplished at Indian classical dance gets married into a middle-class family. Initial happiness of the new bride soon gives place to frustration as she struggles to meet the various demands of her husband and father in law. As she struggles to adjust to the new environment she finds her personal desires getting neglected. When things reach bursting point she decides to take desperate measures.

Both director Arati Kadav and actress Sanya Malhotra have done a fairly commendable job in bringing a realistic narrative in an interesting manner. However the scenes relating to kitchen work are too extensive, seem to be overdone and in too much detail but that can be overlooked in the overall context of the strong narrative. A considerable portion of the movie is on cookery. (I now know how to make biriyani.) The climax seems to put everything in proper perspective and though it appears abrupt it is presented well. Issues of patriarchy and women empowerment are dealt with convincingly.

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 .
