Mrs. Undercover
I cannot imagine Radhika Apte doing a movie like this in 2023, especially after doing movie like Monica, O My Darling. As much as I love Radhika Apte with all my heart and soul, I just feel sad seeing her this way.
This movie is just dumb, simply dumb. One only could imagine what a good comedy or even a dark comedy this film could have been but then, giving a speech about women's empowerment every two minutes didn't work for me.
There are ways to tell a story, you can show through visuals or you can spoon-feed your audience. And this film spoon-feeds its audience irritatingly.
The story, the characters, the protagonist, the antagonist, and even the characters of special agents feel so dumb and immature at times that I thought I'd have done better work. I mean come on Sumeet Vyas as a psychopath misogynistic serial killer is such a fascinating concept and Radhika Apte playing an Ex Undercover agent and now a full-time housewife is just a banger concept for me. So what went wrong? Well, for the starters the dialogue writing was just overstuffed with cringe comedy and the plot had several loopholes. Loopholes in a Spy thriller just don't add up.
I think that this film is easily skippable and forgettable too. I don't think I have much to talk about this film except that it was a huge miss considering the concept and star cast of this film.
It'd be a hard pass for me with a 1.5/5 rating.
