Mrs Undercover movie review: Radhika Apte starrer has neither laughs nor thrills – The Indian Express
A talented feminine secret agent hiding beneath the guise of a ‘easy housewife’ is a cracker of a premise. Durga (Radhika Apte), just like the goddess she’s named for, has a number of palms, all deployed in the direction of making her household snug: getting her little one prepared for college, attending to her boorish husband’s a number of calls for, taking good care of her mildly bickering in-laws. Can that harried housewife face off in opposition to a dreaded serial killer?
The movie makes no secret of the id of its smooth-faced antagonist (Sumeet Vyas), who appears to wander about Kolkata, choosing simply on his victims, and ending them off brutally. He hates ‘impartial’ ladies with minds of their very own. His eyes slender when he spies career-oriented women, and that’s the top of them.
He has a lot in frequent with Durga’s husband (Saheb Chattopadhyay) who can’t consider her doing something on her personal. Now that’s an thought: whether or not it’s males who can’t abide the thought of ladies having a lifetime of their very own, or a killer who goes about snuffing such lives, each are reduce from the identical fabric.
For causes that stay unexplained, the native cops are clueless, permitting a ‘particular job power’ headed by a jovial sort (Rajesh Sharma) and his colleagues to wade in, and the scene is about for a comic book thriller.
Besides the best way it unspools, there are neither laughs nor thrills on this raising-the-gong-for-feminism ‘Mrs Undercover’. Laboni Sarkar, as Durga’s supportive ma-in-law, is about the one one who rises above the harebrained script. The remainder–together with the singularly single-toned Radhika Apte, the often dependable Sumeet Vyas, and the superb Rajesh Sharma– flounder.
