Mr. & Mrs. Mahi

If you want to see a really good movie with your family, and also be inspired by it, then this is it!

Why the hate, guys? It is a movie with family values and faith & trust between couples which is based on the background of cricket.

So if you don't like cricket, don't watch it, period. This movie is not for everyone. In fact, any movie cannot be made for everyone's taste!

Dharma Productions and Sharan Sharma, the Director, have done a great job, in making a clean, no-nonsense movie.

Thankfully they have kept religion out of it, and also, there are no long shots of mosques etc..you know what I mean 😜

I cannot understand why sometimes people go to great lengths to unnecessarily criticize a good, well made movie, with great family values. What's the point? But, they will enjoy is a Jawan, Pathan, Animal..etc with their senseless & brainless bang bang!

Hey, don't get me wrong, I am not against big budget block busters, they have their time & place & they have their budgets! They make it happen.

But, if we don't come out and see & show our support for good family values movies, then all these production houses will not make such good movies and only make mindless movies!

So, with that out of the way, let me say that this movie is great, every actor is chosen wisely and they have all done a wonderful job!

All are polished artists and they have delivered. The surprise package is our Zareena Wahab Ji! Good to see you again, Ma'am, you nailed your character!

I read a review where someone who "has" to be an expert cricket coach of State, or National level, or maybe he/she is from International cricketing level.. as that person has given 'expert comments' in the review..something like, 'the characters chosen don't have cricketing bodies.' Wah! What an observation!! (Kamaal ka diya! Jab Aap ka 'Hero' dus/bees admiyon ko ek saath thook deta hai, tab aap kuch kyon nahi bolte? 😜)

Jokes aside, this is a good movie with a very good moral. Wherever (world over) family values among family members and love between couples are cherished, this movie should be watched! Go for it, you will not regret!

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.

"Mr. And Mrs. Mahi" is an engaging film that captures the nuanced interplay between passion and partnership against the backdrop of cricket. Directed by Sharan Sharma, the movie stars Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles, delivering compelling performances that bring depth to their characters.

The narrative revolves around two individuals from diverse backgrounds united by their love for cricket. Rao, portraying a seasoned cricketer, exudes a mix of determination and vulnerability, making his journey both relatable and inspiring. Kapoor, as an aspiring cricketer, complements Rao's intensity with a refreshing zeal and resilience. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable, providing the emotional core of the film.

Sharma's direction shines through in his attention to detail and ability to balance personal drama with the sport's high stakes. The cricket sequences are well-executed, capturing the thrill and pressure of the game. However, it's the off-field moments that truly resonate, exploring themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the complexities of relationships.

The screenplay, while occasionally predictable, maintains a good but sometimes slow pace and but tries to keeps the audience engaged. The film's soundtrack, though not particularly memorable, serves its purpose in enhancing the narrative's emotional beats.

Visually, the film benefits from crisp cinematography that captures both the vibrancy of cricket matches and the more intimate, reflective moments between characters. The supporting cast, including seasoned actors and fresh faces, adds layers to the story, although some characters could have been developed further.

Overall, "Mr. And Mrs. Mahi" is a heartwarming and motivational sports drama that offers a blend of inspiration and entertainment. For Some People it's Good Movie and Only some will say excellent movie. It stands out not just as a sports film, but as a poignant exploration of dreams, perseverance, and the strength found in partnership.

Itsbymayank - Mayank Bharat Bhushan Louteriya Review of Mr & Mrs Mahi 2024. Worth Watch..

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.

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!!
