Mrs Undercover

Kolkata setups and Radhika on screen. I recall some movies of Rani M and vidya B. If someone watch all 3 as Trilogy This movie comes close to Family Show.

Radhika makes it a point to have all normal actors and surly a running script. End is slow and boring when they caught the culprit. Very low action from kid as that cud added a zing in watching

Overall a good entertainer with Radhika as a Queen again.

U can watch as suspense As comedy As thriller As local Batwoman

But it's a watch without headache and direction is good. Low budget makes some less crowd and sets but overall everything is perfect to watch and enjoy.

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.

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!!

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'
