‘Mr. & Mrs. Mahi’ Review: Janhvi Kapoor, Rajkumar Rao's chemistry sizzles, but storyline fails to hit a six

Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkumar Rao’s film ‘Mr. and Mrs. Mahi’ has been released in theatres, and if you think the film is based on Indian cricketer, Mahindra Singh Dhoni and his wife, Sakshi’s love life then you are mistaken, the film has nothing to do with them.

The premise of the film centers on a married couple deeply in love with the sport cricket. Janhvi Kapoor essays the role of a doctor who wished to be one but ended up becoming a doctor. Rajkummar Rao portrays an aspiring cricketer seeking his breakthrough in the sport.

Key takeaways

The film portrays harsh realities underscoring the age-old adage that 'All that glitters is not gold'.

While the film offers an emotional journey, it lacks the element of surprise, with a linear storyline that may fail to captivate audiences seeking twists and turns. 'Mr. and Mrs. Mahi' treads familiar territory, presenting a conventional tale of love and family dynamics, albeit stretched at times.

Conclusion

Overall, 'Mr. and Mrs. Mahi' provides a heartfelt portrayal of human resilience amidst adversity, albeit within the confines of a predictable narrative. The film is an emotional rollercoaster that simply moves in one direction, and nothing in particular will keep you glued to your seats. 'Mr. and Mrs. Mahi' features the same old, stretched-out love and family plot.
