Mr. & Mrs. Mahi

The trailer of Mr & Mrs Mahi did it dirty by giving away too much plot. Trailer single handedly ruined the experience for many. If you're deciding whether to watch it, skip the trailer.

There are many negative reviews but if uou watch it without any expectations, you'll find it very captivating and heart warming.

The acting of lead actors is pretty good, although it takes time to accept Jahnvi because she looks so polished (not her fault) that she looks out of place in the beginning portions. But few minutes into the film, her acting and no-make-up look makes her character believable. Rajkumar gave his best, like always. The interaction between him and his mother in the film was one of the highlights.

This is one more good film from Jahnvi after Gunjan Saxena.

The biggest problem with cricket-based movies is that the protagonist doesn't look like a batsman at all. When I look back at all the cricket-based movies where the protagonist is a cricketer, especially a batsman, they don't convincingly portray a batsman. From their stance to their shots, they don't resemble an batsman at all. No matter how much you practice, you can't perfect your cricket style if you haven't been playing since childhood. It's time for aspiring actors to start practicing cricket, football, and other sports from a young age.

Additionally, the screenplay often doesn't feel natural. Especially in the second half, many elements seem forced to create drama. Rajkumar and the other actors performed beautifully, except for Janhvi. Her expressions were good, but her dialogue delivery was unconvincing. Overall, it's a decent one-time watch.

Yes, agreed, it's a one time watch. The modern take on the cult classic Abhimaan, but in this case it's cricket. Somehow the emotional connect could be established or rather lasted longer. Thodi zyada gyanwardhak hai rather than an entertaining watch. Performances are good, music is good, bgm is ok. The best part is the creative take on mahiway, which was hilarious. Rajkumar Rao's performance was a surprising notch down after the masterclass of Srikanth, whereas jhanvi's performance is getting better and better in each movie and her script choice is equally good.

Would have loved to see a cameo of the real mahi, but that perhaps would cost more than the entire budget of the movie, so let it be.

Starts slow which is a set back of this story telling. Once the pace picks up, it's turns out to be a lovely watch.. of course there are gaps in story execution but the actors make the flaws look like a miniature. It's an emotional joy ride with a happy ending, some shades of 'A star is born'!!

Janhvi Kapoor is a winner!! It's very easy to see how she is becoming a good actor from a very bad one when she started, in many a places she acts like here legendary mom!! Looks like her, of course!!

Rajkumar is of course the usual, v good along with other supporting cast. Watch this one with patience and love, it deserves a thumps up!!

Mr. & Mrs. Mahi is a film that positions itself as a family-friendly offering with a story that aims to appeal to a wide range of audiences. A film with an interesting story on paper that fails to translate into a compelling cinematic experience. While the premise promises an engaging blend of sports and relationship drama, the execution leaves much to be desired, resulting in a movie that feels half-hearted and unsatisfying.

One of the film's few saving graces is its cast. Rajkummar Rao delivers a natural and convincing performance. Janhvi Kapoor, though not outstanding, puts in a commendable effort, with her dedication to her role and the sport of cricket evident on screen. Zarina Wahab also manages to shine in her limited screen time. Kumud Mishra and Rajesh Sharma were fine in their roles.

The story, though brimming with potential, suffers from a screenplay riddled with loose ends. The movie becomes predictable, juggling between cricket and jealousy without fully committing to either. However, the cricket sequences lack the necessary thrill and excitement, falling flat and failing to capture the intensity of the sport. Musically, the film falls short of delivering chart-topping hits, but the songs are well-integrated into the narrative.
