Mrs Undercover

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.

Sir gave some new feeling to this movie. Cinematography,writers, director is simply awesome. After so many years film from this categery made me very happy. Thanks for this beautiful movie. This can be said as one of the most unpredectible Bollywood movie. The story telling and screenplay has been exceptional. The acting was good but the script steals it all. Other best part of this movie was leaving it open ended which was missing in Bollywood. This can be said as one of the most unpredictable Bollywood movie the story telling and screen play has been exceptional. The acting was good but the script Steel it all.

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.

Mrs Undercover review :

A serial killer is on the prowl... He's a misogynist targetting women without a doubt.

He's simultaneously killing secret agents till there's only one left amongst all.

Fikar not.. This undercover agent, posing as housewife for years, is actually quite a howl!!

Radhika Apte plays that agent who is literally coerced in to action by the agency chief (Rajesh Sharma) called Rangeela!! The manner in which they go about their duty should make RAW seek legal action from the filmmakers for such a dumb portrayal of the intelligence agency!!

More absurdity- the killer or terrorist, if you can call him that, is a part of an international organisation who wish to eliminate feminism from the face of planet earth. What!!! He is named 'Common Man' probably to highlight how the 'aam aadmi' male of this country is anti woman empowerment. Stupid analogy, indeed!!

Actually, Mrs. Undercover is too silly to be taken seriously though it aims to be exactly opposite. The climactic encounter of the main culprit had me in splits where the State Chief Minister orders the cops to step away so Radhika and a dozen civilian women dressed as Durga Maa, can get in to action mode. Haha!

The only scene which truly impressed me was the restaurant one where Rajesh Sharma disguised as a waiter, imparts a lesson or two to Radhika Apte's patriarchal husband on 'asli' women empowerment and how important a homemaker really is in any family.. that is a 'taalimaar' moment. Rest of Mrs. Undercover isn't!!
