Mrs Undercover

Mrs. Undercover is an action comedy film directed by anushree mehta.

This film gets so much right yet doesn't hit the home run. The writing assures on the nuances that the female spy is out of practice but undoes it by making her chase the same man so amateurishly that its comical. The climax is way too weird. Radhika apte gets her acting and comedy spot on. But the other characters are reduced to feminism mouthpieces and caricatures. There are sequences designed to lecture viewers that 'housewives are not housewives' insted of visually stamping it. It too on the nose. The songs are average too. Saheb chattopadhyay, sumeet vyas and rajesh sharma somewhat act authentic but their characters are too undercooked.

This film could have been so much more.

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.

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.

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'
