Janhvi Kapoor-Rajkummar Rao film struggles as it tries to please everyone
Up until a point, all goes swimmingly. Both start clocking into each other�s rhythm, and he�s quite happy to become her cheerleader. There�s no one better than Rao in playing a regular guy with no special talent, and Kapoor is quite capable of filling up a character (apart from Gunjan Saxena, her 2022 �Goodluck Jerry� gave her a chance to show us a comedic side). But then male ego and jealousy rears its ugly head, leading to an obvious rift, and leading us to an even more obvious climax, with a second half which feels longer than it is.(more)

Rajkummar Rao, Janhvi Kapoor throw a no ball despite a perfect partnership
Mr and Mrs Mahi is a one-time watch for its earnest performances, but the film is devoid of a superlative script or wow moments. It's an ambitious sports film that tries to make a point, but sadly misses the shot. I wish at least in the title, Mrs came before Mr and we could have then celebrated women in cricket a little more.(more)

Moderately Engaging Film That Struggles With Inconsistent Pace
That, in a sense, sums up Mr & Mrs Mahi. The film makes the right noises but not before putting the female protagonist through a grind devised by the men around her. And finally, it is not her dad but her husband's father who has got to be mollified. The girl achieves a great deal but she can be happy only if her hubby and his dad are happy. What the film conveys is that the female Mahi is incomplete without the male one. The conflicting and convoluted messaging is a mishit that lands nowhere. The result is a feeble gender equality tale that plods its way, exhaustingly at times, to a rather predictable end.(more)
