Mr Ya Miss

Antara Mali is the director and lead actress of this film. First lets talk about her direction. See, the intention of this film is pretty good to showcase how a man feels when he steps into the shoes of a woman. But the problem is the direction. What Antara has done is given a total stage play / skit feel to it. She's literally made all characters in this film act like they do in a play including the two God's. Every man she comes across wants to have a taste of her and in real this never happens but can only happen in a play like situation (It is true men do often try taking advantage but cmon not everyone she meets would do that).

The films intention was to only showcase a woman's problem in 2hrs x mins so director had to bring in these caricaturish characters. This is why it feels like a skit. The topic itself is something that can be portrayed in a 30 mins skit actually. Plus there are numerous loopholes including the starting where Aftab suddenly changes into a lady in the most sudden and ridiculous fashion. Another loophole is that the fact that Aftab disrespected ladies is not shown properly hence the impact is not there. They should have taken some more time in establishing this part.

Performances. Oh my god! Hufffff! Antara Mali, what or i mean who wrote her character dude? I mean throughout the film she is overacting and looks next level cringy with her making weird annoying faces and annoying accent often , it can make any audience from 2022 watching this old film turn off their media devices but thank God i managed it out. All those face making looks hilarious on certain actors like Johnny Lever or even Riteish Deshmukh (who has given a much better performance here in this film) because they have aced this but Antra sadly did not . Others as i said are so caricaturish that I don't want to talk about their performance.

Overall, a well intented film but terrible execution. Can give it a watch if you want but don't expect too much (Also i know it is a remake but then i haven't seen the original).

Where the heck does "Antara Mali" get off taking the writing credits for this movie when this is a rip off from a Hollywood film "Switch" (1991), starring Ellen Barkin, and Jimmy Smitts?

I am personally fed up with this trying to pass off someone else's work, and original ideas as one's own that Bollywood has been indulging in for years! STOP the plagiarism, and get a clue! I am surprised that someone in Hollywood has NOT clued up and sued the pants off some of these Bollywood producers for this blatant stealing! Bollywood dares to talk of "Stopping the Piracy"! Well first start with cleaning up your OWN act!

I feel very strongly about this,as the movie "Switch" was one I really enjoyed, and to see someone coming along, and trying to take the credit for writing a story which is actually the brain child of someone else is despicable. At least give credit where it's due, and be honest enough to admit that the movie is inspired by another production!

There have been many movies made that have been "inspired" by some other play, movie,or book etc.If you admit it, there is no shame in it. At least it will be better than blatant plagiarism bordering on stealing. Shame on you Antara!

Take a leaf off the book of an Indian movie maker like Nagesh Kukunoor who's work is original, and like he said at the IIFA Awards in Dubai this last week, "There are 1 billion Indians, and between us, we should be able to tell an original story"!

The (ripped off without credit) concept is great but the execution is botched. Antara's overacting ruins most of the fun. Aftab and Riteish did a reasonably good job though the main character is Antara's and it is flawed from the beginning to the end - due to overacting and poor screenplay. It is far from either funny or redeeming; just over the top!

There are better comedy movies and better executions of good concepts. For the former, there is too long a list - Hera Pheri series, Dhamaal, House Full etc. Examples of the latter include Bhaag Johnny, Oh My God etc. This movie is the best example of a botched rip-off. Frankly, it is not entertaining even if you set aside the rip-off factor completely.

Great story, great comedy, great presentation, provocative, funny, and also serious. To see Antara Mali pretending to be a man in a woman's body is priceless. Her sense of the ridiculous shines throughout this wonderful addition to the slapstick genre.

There is more to the film than the promised comedy, however. The exploration of the contrasts of gender psyche is serious food for thought. As an American I also loved the peek into the lighter side of Hindu spirituality and cultures. I will confess that this movie made me both laugh and cry. I wished it would not end. I can't wait to see what Ms. Mali will come up with next!

They copy HOT CHICK and ruin it

Antra Mali a regular of RGV earlier directed this film

The film has an interesting plot but pathetic execution

The start is okay and the twist is good but then nothing actually catches you laughing

The scenes go from gross to stupid

Directorally Antra Mali tries hard and it shows, some scenes are well handled but mostly the film lacks the conviction Music is okay

Ritiesh is the saving grace, he acts well Antra Mali goes too overboard and bores Aftab is okay
