Mrs Undercover

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'

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.

A low budget comedy thriller with a script of a housewife being an undercover. The portrayal of serial killer and raw agent is extremely dumb. But this is fun movie to watch along with family. Very silly but funny. Radhika Apte is a very good actress as always.

My ratings 6/10!

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 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!!
