Moderately good
adibids2 June 2024
Yes, agreed, it's a one time watch. The modern take on the cult classic Abhimaan, but in this case it's cricket. Somehow the emotional connect could be established or rather lasted longer. Thodi zyada gyanwardhak hai rather than an entertaining watch. Performances are good, music is good, bgm is ok. The best part is the creative take on mahiway, which was hilarious. Rajkumar Rao's performance was a surprising notch down after the masterclass of Srikanth, whereas jhanvi's performance is getting better and better in each movie and her script choice is equally good.

Would have loved to see a cameo of the real mahi, but that perhaps would cost more than the entire budget of the movie, so let it be.

Rajkumar, Janhvi Tried well. A Good One. - Film Review of Mr & Mrs Mahi
mayanklouteriya1 June 2024
"Mr. And Mrs. Mahi" is an engaging film that captures the nuanced interplay between passion and partnership against the backdrop of cricket. Directed by Sharan Sharma, the movie stars Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles, delivering compelling performances that bring depth to their characters.

The narrative revolves around two individuals from diverse backgrounds united by their love for cricket. Rao, portraying a seasoned cricketer, exudes a mix of determination and vulnerability, making his journey both relatable and inspiring. Kapoor, as an aspiring cricketer, complements Rao's intensity with a refreshing zeal and resilience. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable, providing the emotional core of the film.

Sharma's direction shines through in his attention to detail and ability to balance personal drama with the sport's high stakes. The cricket sequences are well-executed, capturing the thrill and pressure of the game. However, it's the off-field moments that truly resonate, exploring themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the complexities of relationships.

The screenplay, while occasionally predictable, maintains a good but sometimes slow pace and but tries to keeps the audience engaged. The film's soundtrack, though not particularly memorable, serves its purpose in enhancing the narrative's emotional beats.

Visually, the film benefits from crisp cinematography that captures both the vibrancy of cricket matches and the more intimate, reflective moments between characters. The supporting cast, including seasoned actors and fresh faces, adds layers to the story, although some characters could have been developed further.

Overall, "Mr. And Mrs. Mahi" is a heartwarming and motivational sports drama that offers a blend of inspiration and entertainment. For Some People it's Good Movie and Only some will say excellent movie. It stands out not just as a sports film, but as a poignant exploration of dreams, perseverance, and the strength found in partnership.

Pretty decent
isaacsundaralingam1 June 2024
There's nothing much to say about this movie except that it was fairly decent. There wasn't anything egregious about it, but there also wasn't anything that stood out. It's a pretty cute, pretty enjoyable light-hearted movie that doesn't offend in any big way. The only issue I had, which if not would have made the movie much better, was that you just couldn't really root for the main character. There's just so much to dislike, and while that's of course part of what the movie is really about, it also makes it difficult to want to see him succeed or change for the better. A little more redeeming qualities in the main character would have made the experience much more personal and empathetic. But it's still not too much of a deal breaker. The movie is good enough to help pass the time with some decent entertainment.

A captivating blend of love, cricket and dreams!
akashdubey-165131 June 2024
Mr. And Mrs. Mahi, is a cinematic gem that beautifully blends the essence of romance and sports.

Rajkummar Rao, as Mahendra Agrawal, gives an excellent performance, showing a man dealing with his own dreams and fears. Janhvi Kapoor, excels as Mahima Sharma, adding depth to her character. Their on-screen chemistry is great, making the story come alive.

The film captures the awkwardness of a newly married couple, the hard work of training, the excitement of matches, and the ups and downs in their relationship.

Sharan Sharma's direction balances romance and sports well, guiding the film through its emotional moments.

The film is just not about cricket; it's about following dreams and discovering where you belong.

Good movie
ravijyothi-4518910 June 2024
Mr. & Mrs. Mahi" tells how we often try to fulfill our unfulfilled dreams through our family members. Rajkumar Rao's character loves playing cricket, but for some reason, he never made it to the state team or the Indian team. He attempts to fulfill this dream through his wife, Janhvi, who is also passionate about cricket. On the other hand, she is being forced into medical studies, which she doesn't enjoy, and Rajkumar helps her realize her true calling. This narrative weaves through the struggles of life, family dynamics, and the frustration of unachieved goals.it is good film every onee will watch.

The biggest problem with cricket-based movies is that the protagonist doesn't look like a batsman at all.
dhruba-rgi3 June 2024
The biggest problem with cricket-based movies is that the protagonist doesn't look like a batsman at all. When I look back at all the cricket-based movies where the protagonist is a cricketer, especially a batsman, they don't convincingly portray a batsman. From their stance to their shots, they don't resemble an batsman at all. No matter how much you practice, you can't perfect your cricket style if you haven't been playing since childhood. It's time for aspiring actors to start practicing cricket, football, and other sports from a young age.

Additionally, the screenplay often doesn't feel natural. Especially in the second half, many elements seem forced to create drama. Rajkumar and the other actors performed beautifully, except for Janhvi. Her expressions were good, but her dialogue delivery was unconvincing. Overall, it's a decent one-time watch.

Kindly watch it if you love crap
pushpender-2688231 May 2024
The movie is tone deaf and regressive in many ways.

The direction was better but script was pathetic.

Impractical... The girl leaves her job as a resident ( doctor) just so she could follow her "dream".

Not one dialogue from this movie was to be remembered after stepping out of the theater.

Suddenly after a small pep talk you just start playing good cricket....?

Jhanvi's mother was not given anything to talk.

Rajkummar's character has a 'famous' brother who gives him crappy Advice to make reels/yt shots to make him famous or rather make his 'coaching' famous.

You just throw a ball at your wife because you need validation from your father and you are angry since she didn't mention you in her interview.

Throughout the movie Rajkumar Rao's character switch to different 'flags' first partial green then blood red shade of red flag and ofcourse in the end the husband that every women want... Yes a new type of ending ( much needed one) .

You are out of form because of your family drama and then again back to form as your husband came in apologizing and asks you to play however you want, as if you were always listening others suggesting you how to play..??

And yes in the end you just hug it out, all the crappy behaviour and selfishness of your husband , so what's bad no.

"Mr. & Mrs. Mahi"
confirmbusinessdeal14 June 2024
### Review of "Mr. & Mrs. Mahi"

"Mr. & Mrs. Mahi" is an engaging drama that artfully intertwines the themes of love, ambition, and partnership against the vibrant backdrop of cricket. This film is not just a sports drama but a heartfelt exploration of marital dynamics, personal growth, and the power of shared dreams.

**Plot Overview**

The story follows a married couple, Mr. And Mrs. Mahi, who discover a mutual passion for cricket, primarily sparked by Mrs. Mahi's natural talent for the game. Their journey begins as a simple shared interest but evolves into a profound mutual ambition as they both embark on a rigorous training regimen to hone her skills and pursue a future in cricket. The narrative is well-paced, balancing the personal and professional aspects of their lives with finesse.

**Characters and Performances**

The characters of Mr. And Mrs. Mahi are portrayed with depth and authenticity, brought to life by performances that are both compelling and relatable.

  • **Mrs. Mahi**, the protagonist, is a character of immense talent and determination. Her journey from a cricket enthusiast to a serious player is inspiring. The actress captures her passion, struggles, and triumphs with a performance that is both nuanced and powerful. Her growth as a player and as an individual forms the emotional core of the film.


  • **Mr. Mahi**, while initially a supportive husband, finds his own role and identity challenged as he navigates the complexities of supporting his wife's burgeoning career while managing his own aspirations. His character is portrayed with sensitivity, showcasing the delicate balance between support and personal ambition in a partnership.


Their chemistry is palpable, and the authenticity of their relationship adds a layer of realism to the narrative. The supporting cast, including coaches, fellow players, and family members, also deliver strong performances that enrich the storyline.

**Themes and Emotional Depth**

At its heart, "Mr. & Mrs. Mahi" is a story about dreams and the lengths we go to achieve them. The film deftly explores the dynamics of a marital relationship when both partners are working towards a common goal. It addresses the challenges of balancing personal ambitions with mutual support, and the inevitable strains that such a journey can place on a relationship.

The theme of empowerment is central to the narrative. Mrs. Mahi's journey is one of self-discovery and empowerment, as she challenges societal expectations and personal doubts to pursue her passion. The film does a commendable job of highlighting the importance of female empowerment in sports, a field often dominated by men.

Cricket serves as more than just a backdrop in this film; it is a metaphor for life's challenges and victories. The training sequences, matches, and the depiction of the cricketing world are authentic and engaging, providing a realistic portrayal of the sport's demands and rewards.

**Cinematography and Direction**

The cinematography in "Mr. & Mrs. Mahi" is visually captivating, capturing both the intensity of the cricket field and the intimacy of the characters' personal lives. The use of slow-motion shots during pivotal cricket moments enhances the drama and excitement, while the more intimate scenes are shot with a tenderness that underscores the film's emotional depth.

The direction is adept, with a clear vision that seamlessly blends the personal and professional aspects of the story. The director skillfully handles the pacing, ensuring that the narrative flows smoothly without lingering unnecessarily on any particular subplot.

**Music and Sound Design**

The film's soundtrack complements its emotional and dramatic tones perfectly. The music underscores key moments, from the thrill of a cricket match to the quiet introspection of the characters. The sound design is immersive, especially during the cricket sequences, capturing the sounds of the game and the atmosphere of the stadiums in a way that draws the audience into the action.

**Conclusion**

"Mr. & Mrs. Mahi" is a heartfelt and inspiring drama that offers more than just a glimpse into the world of cricket. It is a story of love, partnership, and the pursuit of dreams. The film's well-crafted narrative, strong performances, and thoughtful direction make it a compelling watch. It's a celebration of ambition and support, and a poignant reminder of the strength found in unity and mutual respect. For anyone who appreciates a good sports drama with emotional depth and authenticity, "Mr. & Mrs. Mahi" is a must-see.

Mr & Mrs Mahi Movie Review
"Mr. & Mrs. Mahi" tells how we often try to fulfill our unfulfilled dreams through our family members. Rajkumar Rao's character loves playing cricket, but for some reason, he never made it to the state team or the Indian team. He attempts to fulfill this dream through his wife, Janhvi, who is also passionate about cricket. On the other hand, she is being forced into medical studies, which she doesn't enjoy, and Rajkumar helps her realize her true calling. This narrative weaves through the struggles of life, family dynamics, and the frustration of unachieved goals.

The story is simple, but Rajkumar Rao's mature performance will win everyone's heart, and Janhvi's exceptional acting will be appreciated. Despite not being professional cricketers, their portrayal of playing cricket feels very authentic. Rajesh Sharma as the coach and Kumud Mishra as the father have performed excellently. This romantic sports drama is a must-watch with the entire family. You'll enjoy it, so make sure to catch it in theaters.

Slow love story that is weaved between cricket
simpleamanat-2154531 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I wasted my time first time I thought, i would sleep in theatre it self. Dharma production is mqking viewers to waste hard earned money. No proper story of love between the couple. No characters are build in portrayal. Very generic father-son, husband-wife , and mother- child relation. Still same old fashioned mind set of parents is potrayed like its early 2000-2010. The movie goes from some where to some where. Everything which I saw was like either this is not done or this cannot happen. While writing this post its making me think that words are appropriate for the description as they theatre was like why I am here. Only thing to watch is trailer before the movie. And yes Their is a new movie been announced at the start which again bring the social dilemma of caste and college activism will be portayed to divide society more ofcourse Dhadak 2.

A beautiful story
kskoulini8 June 2024
A beautiful story.

If you like light hearted, cliche, plain character, random dance sequence movies - this is NOT for you. Which explains all the negative reviews

This is a beautiful movie. A movie with so much substance that it shows me hope for Bollywood movies.

What to expect from this movie:
  • Consistent and well-paced story and plot
  • Amazing character development for EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER
  • A tear jerker. The acting was good enough to make me cry.


  • A THICK and well layered story.


  • A plot that moves from a story about him, to a story about her to a story about them. Which is beautiful.


  • Easter eggs of character development that moved me at the end.


  • Green flag characters - shows how people are imperfect but that is human and they can learn. Cant express how much I am proud of MC.


Definitely story heavy but leaves you thoughtful and with a smile. Would only recommend to those who like good stories.

Life is bigger than dreams
chakrabortytina-2652414 June 2024
The last sports drama I watched was MS Dhoni, which was a biopic. Mostly sports dramas focus on the knit grit of the life of the athlete the story has been made. But this latest sports drama is a romance story. It is not the story of Mahi failing as a cricketer. It is the story of Mahi who meets Mahi and together knits dream of getting the best cricketer trophy.

What makes Mr. & Mrs. Mahi adorable

1. The sweet chemistry between the fresh pair. Jahnvi and RR made the story sweet as cherry.

2. The storing narrative promises a unique premise. From capturing the awkwardness of newlyweds to blooming romance...it keeps all.

Where Mahis fell apart

1. The pace of the storyline. The director often finds it difficult to keep the motion.

2. Gaps identified in storytelling while making it too real.

Worst movie ever made
dreams-566595 June 2024
Jahnvi should stop acting. She is pathetic. I don't know why Karan Johar is working hard to make this plastic woman an actress.

Please save your money instead of wasting your precious time. Rajkumar Rao's acting is good but the script was written mainly for Jahnvi. The story is not new and uou have seen same drama before. Cricket shots are also nor interesting. Worst thing about this movie is Jahnvi Kapoor. She should stop acting. I couldn't connect with story at all and slept during the movie. Rajkumar should not waste his acting talent like this. Pls do not watch it. Its totally a disaster movie.

Very good movie!
furkhan-208186 June 2024
The amount of hard work janhvi kapoor put in this movie is commendable! Especially watch it for janhvi kapoor to be honest because she is not who know cricket very well and prepared herself to deliver such a nice way... It's absolutely incredible for as movie lover I'm not such a fan of janhvi kapoor but after I watch bts and the movie is hats off to her.... As cricket fan she adjust as a proper cricket player most of the cricketer doesn't have such a lovely stance and balance...! Just wow she amazed me.... Now I'm a fan of janhvi kapoor from know! She deserves the appreciation... Love the way the character like rajkumaar rao he is phenomenal actor.... But janhvi stole the show I love janhvi!

A good new-age family dram
Srjyreviews4 June 2024
"Mr. & Mrs. Mahi" is a heartwarming tale that captures the essence of love and cricket. Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor deliver stellar performances as Mahendra and Mahima, a couple united by an arranged marriage and a shared passion for cricket. The film, directed by Sharan Sharma, beautifully portrays their journey from awkward acquaintances to a supportive duo, with Mahendra coaching Mahima to cricketing success. Despite its predictability, the movie scores with its emotional narrative and Rao's compelling portrayal of a man battling his insecurities and seeking validation. It's a charming story that resonates with anyone who has dared to dream and the complexities of nurturing a relationship alongside. A delightful watch that blends sportsmanship with the trials of partnership123. 🏏🎥

Mr. and Mrs. Mahi
abhilashks-1048615 June 2024
Mr. And Mrs. Mahi

A simple story of a young man for his love and passion for cricket well written executed and brought to light by Zee Studios & Dharma Productions.

The plot of the story is about a young man who lives and breathes cricket struggling to pursue a career in it but had to succumb to the pressure from his father to join the family business and how his marriage with a Doctor leads to a life changing moment that brings him back to the field again forms the base for the movie.

Director successfully brought in the importance of love,trust,emotional support in a companionship and worked it out well with the characters played by Rajkumar & Jhanvi in the movie. Rajkumar & Jhanvi made great performances in the emotional moments of the story.

Director deserves an appreciation for such a short and good casting in the movie.👌Rajkumar Rao has deliberately done the subtle characterisation of a failed cricket player who is struggling to get recognition and respect from his father who considers him good for nothing. Jhanvi Kapoor also made a fair delivery of her character in the movie. 👍Rajesh Sharma,Zarina Vahab & Kumud Mishra also made significant contribution in their performances.👏👏👏

A simple light hearted movie by Sharan Sharma that is worth a one time watch.

Rating - 3.25/5.

nitsvirusboyz7 June 2024
Mr. & Mrs. Mahi is a film that positions itself as a family-friendly offering with a story that aims to appeal to a wide range of audiences. A film with an interesting story on paper that fails to translate into a compelling cinematic experience. While the premise promises an engaging blend of sports and relationship drama, the execution leaves much to be desired, resulting in a movie that feels half-hearted and unsatisfying.

One of the film's few saving graces is its cast. Rajkummar Rao delivers a natural and convincing performance. Janhvi Kapoor, though not outstanding, puts in a commendable effort, with her dedication to her role and the sport of cricket evident on screen. Zarina Wahab also manages to shine in her limited screen time. Kumud Mishra and Rajesh Sharma were fine in their roles.

The story, though brimming with potential, suffers from a screenplay riddled with loose ends. The movie becomes predictable, juggling between cricket and jealousy without fully committing to either. However, the cricket sequences lack the necessary thrill and excitement, falling flat and failing to capture the intensity of the sport. Musically, the film falls short of delivering chart-topping hits, but the songs are well-integrated into the narrative.

Direction 2.5/5 Acting 3/5 Music 2.5/5 Story 3/5 Screenplay 2.5/5.

This type of stories never old because each and every person have igo problem. Movie based on igo and jealousy. It's very dangerous when we jealous with our family member. In simple words it's about how to come out with that type of situation when we feel jealous with some one, how to deal with that?

Acting wise Rajkumar Rao doing superb, when he act you can feel those emotions who come to his face. Janhvi Kapoor good , Kumud Mishra type cast that type of roles. Jareena wahab role shot but most important for movie.

Story is well written, direction is also decent.

At the end we can watch once and like too.

Extremely bad movie. No story nothing. Scenes were sooo impractical, girl leaving her wedding night to watch match. God it was so bad. Bakwasssss ekdummm
tariqmuskan13 June 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Bakwass movie. No story. Paisa and time waste. Not worth your time. Better watch aur spend time somewhere else rather then wasting your 2 hours. The story was extremely bad it didn't go well till the end. Acting was good but what they delivered as per the director instructions. But I must say not to watch. There were hardly 15 people in the theatre. On asking while selecting the seat, why the public so less, he replied cause of weekday but the reason was quite understandable after the movie.

Don't go guys watch some other movie. I don't know why this jmdb making me write such long para as review but there are no words to describe it except one word that it was Bakwas. Thankyou.

Excellent movie
ninjawarrior-5483010 June 2024
It belongs to a variety of feel-good cinema where characters exude lip-smacking affluence even in distress. Riding on the casting coup of the year, director Rajesh Krishnan burnishes the shenanigans of the upper middle class to fuel the aspiration of the Instagram generation with manicured emotions. Alternating between risky and risqué, the light-weight entertainer is keen on showcasing that new-age women can wine and whine as much as rich boys. After a series of air adventures that were high on testosterone, this time it is the girls who are dressed up to steal the show.
