Mrs Undercover

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.

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.

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.

Was expecting something serious, some action thriller, but few minutes into the movie, realized it will be the more of comedy then anything else.

Radhika Apte, is a fine actress, she has the ability to carry out any kind of role and over here the entire movie on her shoulders. Though the action director of the movie is too silly, therefore some bad action scenes, or perhaps the producers was being too cheap for any serious expenses.

Rajesh Sharma, an old actor and played the usual good. Rest of the cast, Sumeet Vyas etc heartless time pass acting.

Short Verdict

You watch you dont watch, not a big difference.

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!!
