Review of Mister Mummy

Mister Mummy (2022)
2/10
They got excited and made a royal mess
20 November 2022
This film could have been a very unique film. It talks about a syndrome hardly anyone (atleast in India) has heard about. I remember in 2014 a film called Heartless released starring Adhyayana Suman which too talked about a weird unique syndrome of a person being active despite being sedated . Mister Mummy too talks about a unique syndrome but sadly the makers got so excited to show us this that they forgot that a good engaging script and proper screenplay is needed as well.

Being just a touch above 90 mins long, you assume it will be a short Swift film but no! It's screenplay is filled with such utter nonsense in the name of entertainment that these 90 mins also become a torturous watch. If you had to show us a unique thing , you should atleast show it in a proper way but no! They hurry to the end with no emotions nothing , no comedy nothing , but loads of irritation throughout.

You have an irritating media woman popping out of nowhere to interview in the most cringiest way possible. You have a cringy Mahesh Manjrekar (please Mr. Mahesh don't do these terrible roles we are not suited to see you in) who is overacting. You have jokes that are unfunny. You have kids , English kids that understand Hindi it seems. You have a Genelia , who has completely forgotten to act now. Everything is wrong about this film.

Even Ritiesh is out of form in this film thanks to poor dialogues given to him. Poor man tries his best to make you laugh but fails . Songs are plenty and they pop up out of nowhere.

Overall , a forgettable comeback film of Genelia D Souza/ Deshmukh. Clearly she's forgotten acting in her long break . And the film does 0 justice to the unique topic it has tried to show. 2 stars only for the attempt to bring the unique topic on screen.
