The Legend of Michael Mishra

The legend of Michael Mishra is a romantic comedy movie starring Arshad Warsi, Aditi Rao Hydari, Bowman Irani and Kayoze Irani and is directed by Manish Jha.

My initial query was why the movie is being made in Patna whereas the movie could've been made in Mumbai as none of the leads barring Aditi Rao Hydari (to some extent) cannot imitate the pure bihari dialect.

The plot of the movie is good and a good movie could've been made but failed due to bad execution. The film lacks humour and looks monotonous despite of having fantastic cast of Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani. Junior Irani did some hard work but he tried to look funny because he is fat. The support staff looks uninterested. Aditi had done some hard work and it shows in the movie.

The songs are forgettable and irritates. Screenplay and direction is bad and after just half n hours you will realise that you are watching a movie whose plot ( neither acting nor comedy) is borrowed from Munna bhai MBBS.

Action is also cliche. There is a little twist in the climax but till the movie reaches it's climax viewers are already exhausted.

Overall the movie is a shambolic mess of repeated plot with listless romance and comedy.

OK, the movie is not that great. But then, which Bollywood comic caper is? The Legend of Micheal Mishra has a few good laughs, and a good story, and a stand up performance from Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani, and genuinely ties up all the loose ends by the climax. Catch it in home video if you can. You will not regret it.

Dumbest thing I've done. 10 minutes in you get bored and pissed off by poor directing and unfunny "comedy". Arshad Warsi and the Iranis did a good performance but their characters just become irritating/boring. Stopped watching after 30 minutes.

Though the first half was a bit slow, but the movie really took a turn in its second half.

A movie that shouldn't have been made, that guy should not be allowed to make movies. During corona period my dad played this as a family film on an OTT. I couldn't stand the bad acting, direction & the lack of a story. Felt like a millennia had passed after 20-30 minutes. They have portrayed such a humiliating stereotype of the Bihari community.

I am blaming myself for sitting for that long, the only other time I felt this was when I was watching Shanghai.
